My brother is putting together a film festival of sorts with what's basically the toughest hombres from the 60's and 70's (Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, etc). I can't make it, but I wanted to send him some cheroots for his party. He's not a cigar smoker, so I'm not going to scrounge up LFD cheroots or anything like that. I was thinking about Kentucky Cheroots or Ramrods...machine made but 100% tobacco (no homgenized wrapper or other crap). Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

You could always get muniemaker cheroots, they're real rough looking just like the ones in the movies, if you have trouble finding some let me know my local carries them.

100% tobacco?

Why notorious? ???

Yes, they are 100% tobacco from what I've seen, I haven't smoked one, but I've seen them quite a few times.
 
What he means by "100% tobacco" is that they're made entirely from leaves of tobacco, and not that homogenized sheet tobacco crap that some machine-mades (like Swisher or Black & Mild) are wrapped in.
 
Burmese cheroots were notorious/infamous/fun a few years ago when they were available and going into deals/trades as something unusual. You'd get one, look at it, wonder what it was, and put it aside to smoke later, maybe. Or if you smoked one, it was rough. I've still got one buried in storage somewhere. Last time I saw boxes for sale was in England. If interested, Burmese cheroot links follow.

Munimakers are 100% all tobacco cigars. They have a long storied tradition in American cigar manufacturing. I've been smoking them for years. They are a true Connecticut puro and a whole lot better than some of the crap that places like Famous and CI would sell you in their cheap bundled cigars. They would surprise most of you.
