Doing a quick search on the net for San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe, the price seems to be about $120 US for a box of 25.
Would it cheaper to buy them in Cuba or is that a false expectation?
I recently burned a 1990 Robusto and it was ok. Nothing too great. It was medium spice, low strength. It didn't cut as cleanly as I expected, had to cut it twice.
The flavor was decent but not the rank of cA's rating.
Moki was kind enough to send me a Opus X xXx "Power Ranger" knowing full well it would hurt me.
After a few months of it sitting in my humidor I finally decided to take it head on. My last experience with an Opus X was with Andrew at his club early this year, and as he could confirm - it...
welcome Alex,
I'm relatively new to this whole thing as well. Luckily, it's all about taste so what you like is yours to enjoy.
I've had great luck with anything Feunte and CAO. Now having said that, a good place to see a list of cigars that the "experts" on here enjoy is the check the "What...
straight from cA....a perfect 100 for the Dunhill Cabs...
The perfect Cuban cigar. A robusto with no faults. This cigar hasn't been made for more than a decade, since London-based Dunhill stopped allowing the Cubans to make cigars under their brand name. Yet, it remains a classic cigar among...
Friday - Cuesta Rey Centenario Belicoso #1 - (reminded me of a CAO Italia Ciao) - enjoyed it.
Saturday - A.Fuente Gran Reserva Cuban Corona - wonderful.
I clearly remember my first Opus X - Moki invited me to his cigar club, handed me a FFOX Belicoso and we sat and puffed away.
well..it was a great cigar but phew it was strong. I went home and had to lay on the couch for a good few hours just to get my head screwed back on straight.
It was...
I haven't ordered from them in a while but their stick price is the same with what I pay at the local Tinderbox for em. So their box price is not terrible..pretty much MSRP from what I've seen for Ciao size.

saturday:
CAO Italia Ciao during a neighbourhood poker night. (Broke even!)
Sunday - after football, yard work calls... might sneak a Fuente Exquisito in.
Andrew...
Assume the position on this one.
If he was that hard up for money, he probably sold your parts on ebay or something.
Best therapy is to crack open a Genny Light Pounder and watch the Bills get creamed this weekend. ;)
I might be missing the ideal "cost" per stick you're going for...but padron londres are around $2.25 a stick...make your friends feel loved and not have them smoke your P 1964 or P 1926 series ;)
Saturday - CAO Italia - wonderful, smooth and creamy gentle.
Sunday - Padron Londres - standard fair after doing yard work, sitting on the deck just watching nothing in particular.
From all this great feedback I had to go out and pick up an Italia. Got one my local Tinder Box on my way home Friday night. I had enjoyed it this afternoon on the deck and it was very smooth. I was very pleased with the burn quality, smooth creamy taste and lack of bite. It was very mild, even...
Mike,
Thanks for the feedback, you bring up a good point. I shouldn't judge all Partagas black label on just the one I had. I will try a Maximo tube and let you know how it goes.
