Machine Made Habanos

[ricmac25]

Does anyone have any experience with any of the machine made Habanos?

My buddy's grandfather smokes daily but he doesn't spend a lot of money on them. I was wondering if there was any machine made that was half way decent. Basically looking for a Habano that wasn't ridiculously expensive yet had that Habanos flavor.

Anyone tried the H Upmann Regalias? Looking at a box from 98.

The machine made hand finished RyJs are ok. Not spectacular, but I can usually find 3paks for $20(cdn) in canada.

Machine mades can be very tasty especially with age! I was fortunate to enjoy a box of Quintero Londres Extra from 1994 that were very good. I'm also enjoying some La Flor de Cano Petit Corona from '97 that are great also.

IMO... with MMs.. they definitely improve with age and require that you smoke them slower. Over puffing on these short filled cigars can turn them harsh, bitter and hot very quickly.

These can be a great value and very tasty smoke but IMO you can't truly compare them to a hand rolled, long filler vitola... in construction, quality or price. Just my $0.02
