Hi Folks, crikey its been a long time since I've been on here. Thought I'd give the heads up about some sticks I just picked up.
As some of you might remember I do do my student smoking on a budget so am always looking for a good deal. (Hopefully this will change soon as I'll be working an investment bank over the summer, should pay better than civil engineering...)
JJ Fox's website has an offer on at the moment clearing out their Alonso Menendez brazilian cigars. They have a dark wrapper, I'd say maduro but they are not advertised as such.
25 No 10's (lonsdale, ?73)
25 No 20's (corona, ?66)
25 No 30's (panatela, ?52)
I went for the coronas and with their current free shipping offer they are some of the cheapest sticks I've smoked, including from Monte. ?2.64 gives you 45 minutes of even burn, good draw, and mild, sweet, pleasant flavour. Had them with a few things but Johnnie Walker Red Label really paired well.
Sticks are banded, nicely constructed, standard wooden box, everything you'd expect from something twice the price.
For the money I'm considering a second box before the offer ends. Shame they don't make a robusto. They'd make a great cigar for anyone just starting out looking for something cheap and cheerful to enjoy in the weather.
