CAO LX2 Lancero is VERY tasty -- and very strong. Not sure if it is generally available -- it's not listed on their web site as a standard size. I got mine when they introduced the LX2 last year, and my B&M -- the terrific Town & Country Cigars in Euless, TX -- has had them for sale. cjf...

If you like strong/full bodied smokes, I strongly suggest you check out the new CAO La Traviatta. Had my first at the Big Smoke in Vegas -- my buddies and I immediately put it down as a cigar of the year candidate, and I do believe it's in my top 3 for 2009, along with the Cain F and the Tat...

There's cost, and then there's cost. In my experience the online places are good for samplers when you you're just getting started and have no idea what you want, or bulk when you are experienced and know exactly what you want. So, yeah, online can be cheaper "by the stick." But over time, the...

Yeah, I was tempted, but what with the bundles of cigars I picked up at The Big Smoke I found $80 sticks possible to resist... ;-) Chris Feola

I was at Casa Fuente last month, and they had racks of them, even though the Big Smoke was in town. Didn't ask how old they were, though. Hope that helps! Chris

Congrats! I love the Keys, and try to get down every year. I've only really found one good "local" cigar place there: Conch Republic Cigars. http://www.conch-cigars.com/ They have some pretty nice smokes; I especially like the King Conch maduro; its a diademas and pretty interesting. I've...

Plenty here in Texas. Bought a box of each. The black is excellent; the red is out of this world. Both have that sort of Tat signature: full bodied taste without the full body. I'm glad I bought 'em; YMMV. Hope that helps; lemme know if you have any questions. Chris

3 of us headed up from Dallas. See ya there! cjf Chris Feola

Wow! Hard to say which is more horrible-the thought of smoking that, or the fact that this guy thought it was a good idea to smoke it...Any other B&Ms you can frequent? I'm lucky here in DFW-bunch of good to great ones within a few minutes. cjf

I got to meet Pete Johnson this week at Town & Country Cigars in Euless Texas -- great guy! T&C like everyone else had a limit on how many Dracs and Boris you could buy, but members -- basically, those of us with lockers there -- could get more. Smoked the first of the Dracs today; thought it...

I was there in February. There are lots of places with ordinary or worse cigars. I liked these guys: http://www.conch-cigars.com/index.html Bought a bunch; especially liked the King Conch Maduro. Enjoy! Have a great trip; I do love the Keys.... cjf

Enjoy! Let us know your review. cjf

Don't know. But I bought a few of the hand rolls about 14 months ago, and I'm gonna try again this week. cjf

What a coincidence! I'll be there Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope they stil have some of those Old Man's Hand Rolled's ... those are something different. Have a great trip! cjf

I'm also in Grapevine, and if you're up this way I'd suggest checking out Town & Country Cigars out of North Richland Hills. You can sign up for their mailing list here: http://www.taboocigars.com/main.sc. Their email list is sporadic, but when it hits, the deals are pretty spectacular...

When will you be there? I'm also going next week, and so was interested to find your thread. Do be sure to check out the article in the new CA, complete with pictures and maps. On a completely crazy note, I'm also going to try to do the Key West cigar walk later in the trip. Have a great...

I always hit Sosa when I'm in Orlando. They have some pretty nice cigars -- a few with 90 ratings -- and some good things in their less expensive lines, too. I like the family selection torpedo. But two pieces of advice: Hit the Sosa Cigar Bar in Pleasure Island -- I think it is called Fuerte...
