I'll be in Miami tomorrow morning and was wondering if it would be worthwhile to stop in and possibly pick up some sticks. Has anyone been before or smoked their stuff recently? Any thoughts at all would be helpful. Thanks.

I really enjoy everything I've had from them. They have their own stuff at their shop. Try the my way maduro.
I'm a recent convert too. Been gifted a few sticks from El Titan de Bronze and have been very impressed!
I think you would enjoy them. Nice, complex flavors. I'd definitely go.
Yes, both the El Oso and La Colmena lines are rolled at ETdB. Which is probably why they are so damn expensive. Damn good though.
Thanks for the responses I will definitely grab some of the my way sticks and give those a try. Anything else that sticks out as being particularly good or any other place I should stop by that is in the area?

I heard from B&M owner in Naples, Fla. that Deco Drive Cigars on Lincoln in South Beach is nice.

I visited ETDB a couple of years ago and picked up some redemption sun grown and maduro at that time. Both were great sticks and I am planning on picking up some more when I visit Miami again later this month.
The La Palina Goldie's (all 3 versions) were also rolled there if I recall correctly.
Interesting piece of trivia.....A redemption cigar was used by Lawrence Taylor to make a statement after he was found not guilty of having sex with a 16 year old prostitute a couple of years ago. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/jury-clears-taylor-underage-sex-civil-lawsuit-article-1.1193172
Also, ETDB is where Willy Herrera worked as a blender before going to work at Drew Estate. I'm pretty sure he is the son in law of the owner.

I'm almost positive I was bombed a stick from them, and enjoyed it tremendously. Also love the Goldie so there srnsg
FYI, you can't go into El Titan de Bronze and buy La Palina or Warped as they avoid competing with local retailers who purchase those lines. I believe they have bundled cigars for sale. El Credito across the street carries both of those lines. El Credito used to be the factory of La Gloria Cubana, but it is now just a cigar store. The Little Havana Cigar factory which is also on 8th Street about a quarter of a mile down has a great cigar selection, and amazing Cuban coffee. It's worth going to El Titan de Bronze just to see the rollers at work. I was there a few months ago, and they had about 15 rollers.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I wouldn't head over the El Titan de Branze to grab La Palina or Warped lines that I can get from site sponsors for a discount though anyway, I just really wanted to know if their own in house blends were worth trying or if I should just save my money and time. The answer seems to be that it is worth checking out though and I will do so tomorrow afternoon.
My fiancee and I are flying into the Miami and then its off to the Keys for us, if there was more time to mess around I would have tried to herf with some Florida guys. There's always next time I suppose.
