You get what you pay for so do not expect greatness out of these cigars. That said I have had good experiences with the little Number 58s. The are a quick smoke but flavorful. I have found some larger twigs in mine but for the money I can deal with them.

I very much like the 1959 exodus cigars from Torano. I like a robust but not bitter cigar and these fit the bill. I like them very much. One has to wonder if some folks are smoking Torano cigars that have been over-humidified along the way causing the tight draw. I admit they are a compact...

I picked up this Kaywoodie pipe yesterday. It appears to be unsmoked. I paid $15 for it. Any idea what model this pipe is and when it was made? How did I do on the price? The numbers on the side are 7786B. It is marked DRINKLESS KAYWOODIE on the left shank. There is a cloverleaf on the top of...

Well put! I would only add that it is people like this that insure that virtually every cigar sold in Miami as a "Cuban" is certainly not. I got offered "Cuban" cigars all the time and always turn them down. I am satisfied with my La Gloria Cubana and Padron. I feel no need to feed the vultures...

Bundle of El Credito "Super Magnum" Maduro 100. These are the aprentice made versions of the La Gloria Cubana Serie R.

I got off work at noon today. A friend was in town from San Diego so we decided to join another friend at the famous Cafe' Versailles in Little Havana for lunch. After lunch we went down the street (Calle Ocho) to El Credito to check out the cigars. I picked up a few things, took a few photos...

Interesting Story! http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/16295064.htm COURTS Man gets home arrest for selling fake cigars BY JAY WEAVER jweaver@MiamiHerald.com A Hialeah carpenter convicted of selling counterfeit Cuban cigars in a high-stakes trial was sentenced to five months of home...

Yeah that is what I thought. We would even like a place we could sit outside and smoke a cigar like a patio or Tiki bar type situation but we are open to suggestions. We are definitely looking more for restaurants than a bar. How about in the Orlando-Lakeland area? I am up in the Lakeland area...

I see there are a number of folks in the South Florida area. Could I request comments on any Cigar friendly restaurants in Southern Florida? Any suggestions? A few friends get together from time to time and we always end up looking around to find a place to smoke after lunch. I would just as...

I thought I would add in the general area of Perdomo Cigars is a retailer called Cigars of The World that are quite nice and worth a visit. They are located off Red Road a mile or so south of the Palmetto Expressway.

Was the cigar burning correctly otherwise? I think this might be also caused by tobacco that is too humid steaming the extra moisture off in front of the burn.

I tend to attract lunatics and psychos and you have to admit Little Havana is the Promised Land for for the loco! I guess one pays your admission and one takes their chances. If you live in Miami you KNOW how weird Little Havana can get at times. Although I do have to admit that it is heads and...

Slipstream of the window does the trick for me. By the way my everday driver is a Volvo 240 made in 1988. Great car but it is biodegrading around me! Damned Swedes with their "green" plastic that does not last!

By the way I spend quite a bit of time in Little Havana. The area is a "transitional area" meaning that there are quite a few unpleasant folks around. THE VAST majority of people in Little Havana are great, hard working people but be wary of the nut cases. I carry a SIG-Sauer P220 on me when I...

A MUST stop is at El Credito 1106 SW 8th Street, Miami to see them rolling the La Gloria Cubana "Miamis". You will get to walk and talk in the little factoria they have but be warned most of the rollers speak little to no English. They are VERY nice and will try to answer questions in English...

El Credito "Super Magnum" (Second of La Gloria Cubana Serie R) while working the BBQ outside. After dinner a La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados Maduro with some booze.

Little Havana seems to seeing an influx of new people who are taking advantage of the condo conversions and the easy access to downtown Miami. As a result and perhaps as a related event (perhaps not) there have been a number of "burn outs" in the area recently. Six weeks ago a strip mall down...

I heard that a Cigar retailer burned down this weekend in Little Havana. I found out this morning that it was La Tradicion Cubana. I am not sure how this will affect their operations. http://www.tradicion.com/index1.html

Ybor City is worth a look into. There are some good cigar bars and shops all withing walking distance of each other. If you are a cigar fanatic you can drive down to Miami. There are a number of things and places to see in Little Havana all within a short drive of each other. If you plan on...

I happen to be driving through Little Havana this afternoon and stopped in at La Tradicion Cubana on Calle Ocho. Can anyone please provide comments on their cigars? I had to run out before I picked any up but the staff was rolling some nice looking cigars. Are they worth a trip back?
