Culebras

here is the link to an earlier post The story of the Partagas Culebras (The twisty cigar)

That they were twisted to prevent selling them on is an interesting twist to the story which was more that they were twisted to prevent theft of 'normal' cigars

I also read recently that the main flaw with both theories is that (in the case of the intention was to prevent theft) the rollers could simply roll more twisted cigars and in the case of both, it would be more cost effective to let the roller have the factory rejects.

No-one will ever know the reason why they were created, but I suspect it is primarily to make them stand out on the shelf

In a word No

In a word No

That's what I like straight to the point NO.

I suppose You'll have to ask yourself the question: do I pay for three modest sticks, or do I get one exquisite cigar for the same price.

P.S. They are not rolled twisted, the are rolled normally & twisted so they dry in the embraced shape.

Its not out of the question to smoke all three together, and it even mentioned in some books

Indeed..!

I attended a herf once where the late, lamented JibJob smoked one whole.
(Legendary status was attained..!).

A Culebra with a Cuba Libre, surely?

WOW! One for the ages, no doubt. What an honor it must have been to witness.

I'd love to hear more of your stories from the UKCF past, El Catador. I'm sure others would too!

I've had a single and it was a nice, decent smoke, but like VTG says, nothing extraordinary. However, I think the format and presentation is great.

I do like them, the only issue I find is that my mouth gets sore from opening it wide enough to get all three ends in, other than that they are a good cigar with a good old party profile as Simon says.

Three ends in the mouth is quite a feat I'm not sure we should get a picture
