Went to the local Cigars International today. Pick up a few. Noticed it seemed prices went up. Maybe it's because I haven't been there in a while but average price was $9. I remember it was closer to $7-8 last time I was there.

Also noticed they had the Padrons locked up in a display case....must of had an issue or something.

Prices are up across the board. I noticed that at the beginning of the year. Not sure if the COVID pandemic had anything to do with it, but premium cigars are up; especially at the local B&M retail outlets.

The large online shops have remained pretty steady though.

Perdomo Champagne - 10th Anniversary

Great mild/medium cigar for all occasions and a great entry cigar for beginners. Sweet tobacco taste and a hint of floral

Managed to get a nice box of these Villiger La Meridiana Churchill sized cigars to put in the humidor for a few months - a truly perfect cigar

Nice grab!


I received a "lawnmower air filters" from Goodfellow. A very generous gift! Thank you Ray! I'll give you my thoughts on the Padron after it settles for a bit.

Also picked up two cigars, an ashtray and see coffee to try when I was in Gettysburg!

Glad they arrived in tact. Locally roasted G-Burg coffee sounds great -- will have to look them up and see what all the fuss is about.

Nat Sherman Epoca is a wonderful cigar. Lots of sweet tobacco, sweet hay aroma, and just a hint of spice.  Wonderful relaxing smoke -

Caldwell The T. Another fine AJF cigar.

Paired with a local seasonal Yuengling Oktoberfest.

Glad to see the O-Fest beer is available. Have to hit the local market to try and get some. Hope it was a good cigar Tim.

It was good, a little heavy I had to eat some ice cream to keep the nicotine buzz at bay

Sorry to hear that. It seems that a lot of blends now lean towards positioning the high nicotine filler toward the head of the cigar. I guess that's what some folks really enjoy these days.

RyJ 1875 Nicaraguan - nice sweet tobacco and dried fruit flavor. I’m not a big RyJ fan, but this cigar is darn good
