Need some cigar help...

[mhortsch]

I've been communicating with a very kind gentlemen whos name I will keep quiet. He works/runs a tobacco plant in the DR, he has offered to sell me a box of 25 rubusto's, to my flavor preference, for $75, plus some coffee. Shipping is gonna run me about $30, so Im looking at about $115 for a few pounds of DR java and 25 sticks.

Here are the brands they manufacture/sell in the states and Europe:
La Paloma
Don Lino Moduro
Fittipaldi
Indian Tobac
S.T. Dupont
Rey de los Reyes
and about 30 smaller brands

I don't know/think that I would be getting these brands, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know anything about them? Does it sound like Im getting taken? If it's a good deal, does anyone wanna split or do fivers?

Interesting. I heard Fittipaldi was discontinued ???

I just found out via email that this guys major wholesaler in the states...is Thompson Cigars.

Is that bad?
