Hi, new to this site, fairly new to cigars; been smoking them for 9 months now. Have tried many brands and types, Habanos are legal and available here, though expensive. My standard for excellence is the Partagas Series P no. 2 Cuban and the Alonso Menendez Double Corona made right here in Brazil. I pay $16 U.S. for the Partagas torpedo and $9 U.S. for the Menendez double corona. You can imagine which I purchase more often.
