Wow Knight, I got to find some of these. This is exactly what I like in a maduro. Sounds like you may have found them local, lucky you!, try one and tell us how it is. I will be interested in hearing another opinion. :thumb:.
There is a problem. The vendor (http://www.man-uppcigars.com) is just a mail-order business and the dude charges $10 bucks for shipping!! :shocked: Ouch!! I'm not gonna pay an extra 25% on a 5 pack sampler just for shipping. That's insane.
I sent the manufacturer a note on Twitter and told them they need to find a more reasonable distributor. :madmad:
Look what I won on auction for $71!!!!!! That's a killer deal!!!! The cheapest I have ever seen on that gift pack is $87.50.
I went to El Titan De Bronze's website just now and found a list of vendors. I don't know how many of these guys ship but, it sounds so good that I may do some research tomorrow to find out. I'll let you know if I find anything. There is also a High end shop in Santa Barbara that I will call tomorrow. Sounds like a good smoke. I smoked a Estoban Carrera Habano maduro in a rothschild size yesterday. This was a $5.00 cigar and it was fabulous. The wrapper was a little veiny, and it had some soft spots but the flavor was outstanding. Cocoa, spice quite yummy. I bought another in a toro size to get a second opinion. The point is there are some really good smokes out there that are overlooked because they lack noteriety. Finding them is like finding a gold mine. I remember when Padrons were not all the rage yet and they were inexpensive, if you can believe that. Man all this time off I have been smokin a lot of cigars LOL, this is getting expensive, I need to go back to work...:chuckle:
Slobberrrrrrrrrrr...
I'm more than willing to share if you ever happen to be in the area.

That is awful generous of you and if I get back to the Denver area I will look you up. I posted a long time ago and maybe you did not read it, I was in Denver (Littleton) on business and some guy on the plane said I needed to go this restaurant. The others I was with and myself went to this fantastic restaurant called Del Rio's (south Denver) the food was some of the best I have ever had and the service was impecable. They had a nice cigar bar there also, I did not get to go in for one some of the guys protested. Looked like a nice place to have dinner and a stogie. Have you ever been there?
I think you might be talking about Del Frisco's? That's a bit too high-end for me.
(I'm a semi-low-budget kinda guy)I have heard they have a nice cigar lounge there. :up:

Man, I knew I was bungin the name up, Yes Del Frisco's. Hey I was on the company dime what the heck. You are correct though it is high end. I felt like such a rube, it was December, snowing, you know. I was wearing a turtleneck tee shirt, jeans, ugg boots and a rather worn Carhart jacket. I took one look in the door saw many in nice dresses, suits, etc. I looked at my buddies and said "we are such rubes" LOL. The Hostess was great she said ignore the snobs and that we and our money was welcome. We had a really top notch meal there. Really nice place for a bunch of rednecks like us...:chuckle: If I come out there I'll take you to Del Frisco's you bring the cigars for desert...:thumb:
Whoa... now you're talkin'!!!
Whoa... now you're talkin'!!!
It's a date then if I get back that way....:thumb:
Man, it sure is dry there in the winter. It was so bad I went to the Super Target and bought a humidifier for my hotel room, I could not take it. I lived up through the 4th grade at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs I guess I don't remember it being so arid. It is no wonder you have to have a good seal on your humidor.
I'm out in the cave right now with a Drew Estate Camaroon going. I am not that impressed, I tried it on a whim (I love camaroon wrapped cigars) but alas this one has been somewhat of a disappointment. I'll say it is O.K. but, I won't rush out to buy another.
In my opinion, I think Gurkha is way over rated. They do have good smokes, but want so much money for some of them. I really like Rocky Patel, and his moderately priced cigars. :smokie:
Cigarbid.com?
I agree the Rocky's I have smoked have been consistently good. I want to try some of his medium brands, I admit most of the Rocky's I have smoked have been from his premium lines.
No, it was off of... http://www.cigarauctioneer.com
I haven't been very impressed with anything from Drew Estate. Too gimmicky in my opinion. Every cigar I have tried from them is good for about 10 minutes and then the rest of the cigar is horrible.
I enjoy Rocky Patel myself. The other night I tried a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 that was an excellent smoke.
The RP vintage cigars are awesome! :up:
