Most people know the story behind Consuegra cigars A.K.A Connie but just in case you don’t here it is. Consuegras are some of the only true seconds sent out by cigar factories so therefore can be hard to find because they do not make them on purpose. A “second” is a cigar that did not ...

Smoke Notes: Bock Y CA Robusto
2007-12-26 10:00:00
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll. These came from JR Cigars and was my bargain cigar purchase for this month in my pursuit to find quality smokes for the cheap bastids in the world like me. Bock Y CA is made by Altadis and they come in either a box of 20 or a bundle of 25 for the same price of $27.95. I ordered the box because I read that they come in a “humidor-quality” box that I wanted to check out. Much to my surprise the box turned out to be exactly that, a very well made very tight fit humidor (minus the humidification device). So you think I’m a sucker now don’t ya, it’s okay at this point I thought I was too. I thought the cigars might just be that bad that they needed a nice presentation. I thought I would be stashing these at the bottom of the coolidor never to be seen again. Surprised again, these are not bad smokes. With a Sumatra Clara wrapper, Habano Claro bind...
