J.L. Salazar Hermanos

Salazar-Toro-newThis is a really nice full bodied cigar that I got as part of a sampler from Cuban Crafters. This is a well constructed, great tasting cigar. You get great plumes of white smoke. Click here for further details.

Here are what others are saying…

I got a sampler of this one when i got the la carolina campa, it is the best smoke there is. It is not for a beginner.

Can’t wait
I just ordered a box of j.l. Salazar toros and hoping there as good as all the reviews i’ve read. I will write back and let you know. They look so good i can hardly wait for them to get here. Chaldo from wi

The wait is over
Just got home and my j.l.salazars toros were on the table. The wait is over… opened them up. Cutter in hand, lighter in other, the moment of truth has now arrived. Sat down to the p.c. With the toro lit, cocktail in hand. I have to say this is the best for the money you can buy… compare it to r+j maduro or any other maduro you won’t be disappointed i promise you. In fact i will be placing another order when i get done with this review. Chaldo

This one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. I purchased a sample pack which contained this particular brand. To be honest, i thought that this was going to be just a regular low budget cigar, but boy was i impressed by the smooth taste and well balanced aroma. I will definitely purchase this one in the near future. A++++++++ awesome!!!! regards, mark

Spice tamed!
I smoke a good many cigars, but this one is fairly unique in that it\’s a maximum spice stick that is nicely smoothed out. First, this isn\’t for the newbie…it stings a bit early on and is definitely a medium to fuller bodied smoke. That said, it\’s excellent in that it does what it does so smoothly and even has a good measure of complexity that keeps the smoker\’s interest throughout. this cigar comes packaged nicely, but is fairly unassuming as to it\’s super premium quality. If it carried a pretentious label it would have a price double + and a box that cost about three or four times what the simple carrier here is likely to set the maker back. This is exactly what smokers like myself need. It fills a hole in the market place and does so with great aploumb! The construction is a solid 9 or 10 as it is firm box-pressed yet draws effortlessly. The wrapper is a medium brown with just the lightest red tinge to it and it is of medium thickness so it is not particularly fragile. Furthermore, the wrapper looks very nice with only medium amount of veining that seems to insure a very even burn. And so it smokes with no corrections needed as long as you do not lay it down for any extended time. The ash tends toward the whiter side of grey and it holds well. All this seems to indicate the impression of a well blended and constructed stick which actual smoking does nothing but confirm. if cuban crafters can be consistent in the quality of the several boxes i purchased (i am a dealer) they have an absolute world class winner of major proportions. My benchmark cigars are the cuban montecristo el mundo, the cuban romeo y julietta short churchill, and the nicarauguan padron 1964 imperial and this cigar stands right with them and does so at a better price. Like i say, though, it all depends if cuban crafters can consistently deliver this cigar with the same flavor profile as the two boxes i have purchased for sale. if anyone who blended these reads this i want you to know these boxes are from late 2006 and your work is appreciated. Pleass, please, please do not change anything and please, please, please, keep this high standard of excellence!

5 Vegas Classic

I like the 5 Vegas Classic. It’s a medium bodied cigar with a bit of flavor. It’s well constructed, and has lots of great smoke. It’s a good basic cigar, however for the money, I would probably go with a less expensive one and get the same experience.  Click here for the official website.

What others are saying about this cigar…

“What can I say about the classic 5 vegas cigar except that it is an all around 10! Geat taste, construction and burn. It is without a doubt one of the best cigars for the money out there. Thank God C. I. has them priced lower than anyone else in the business and when they have these fanatstic cigars as their daily deal, I jump on those deals the second they are listed! If you don’t enjoy the 5 vegas cigar, then you are not a cigar lover at all. Thank you C. I. once again.”

VB of SAN FRANCISCO, CA
“You just can’t go wrong with a “5 Vegas Classic”. Coffee, earth, pepper and a subtle creaminess, everything about this stick is right on the money. Speaking of money, can you find a better deal? A quality cigar for the price of a cheapie. I don’t know how you do it…….nor’ do i care. Best deal on the market today. Yeah, my box order plus, is in. I’ll be puffing real good this weekend. Is there anything better than a good cigar?”

Z J of , CO
“Obviously, the quality of 5 Vegas is not a secret. I wholeheartedly agree that the Classsic is the best everyday smoke around. I also wanted to express my satisfaction with CI, which I find always has the best selection and prices. I recently ordered approximately 80 cigars and I smoked a number of them within the first two days of arrival. They are always fresh. I have found often I need to let new cigars sit in my humidor for some time before I want to smoke them, this is never the case with cigars from CI.”

SALUTE TO ARMS Marines Corp

Marine Corp Gift Set - $30!

Marine Corp Gift Set - $30!

I got this cigar in a sampler and was amazed by what a nice smoke it was for the money. It has a firm ash, it’s well constructed, and it packs a kick. If you smoke this one too fast, you’re going to feel it in your belly.  Now they have this bundled with a humidor for only $30. I can’t imagine that deal will last long. Click here to see it.

Pleasant surprize
a maduro wrapper cigar that is mild and flavorfull. Got these in a sampler and i am very pleasantly surprized. A delicious easy smoke.

Incredible deal
We recently bought two boxes of these cigars for a promotion party for one of our bosses- the cigars were incredible. Everyone from the seasoned cigar smoker to the once-in-a-while casual cigar smoker enjoyed the cigars. All of my co-workers are military veterans, so the salute to the troops logos was a huge success with the boss. Keep up the good work, and keep saluting our troops- hooah.
