Whatever Happened To... ?

[Jfire]

I'm liking this thread because i have been wanting to find a good short smoke cigar that doesn't break the bank for a box, but still has great flavor.

Parta Shorts???

It's the only cigar I've owned 4 cabs of at once and smoked thru. Need to order another I'm down to only one full cab left.....

the BOTL 12 lance is the best I've had in quite some time. Also, for a treat, the La Aurora 100 Anos lance is fantastic--these are available. Give them a try. I prefer the CG in the 7-20-4 but the dog walker is great as well.

The DE Baitfish is one tasty short smoke. Had a couple of these just last week. Excellent.

I have not...
What's the story with 7-20-4 cigars? Not sure I've seen one around here, but i haven't looked for one either. Guess I'm going to have to try

I'll probably be corrected on this but they used to be manufactured in Manchester NH as far as I am aware and a local shop guy bought the company recently and now has them produced else-where. They used to be a New England exclusive basicly because the distrobution was not the best but they are available pretty much nationwide now.

Try to find some aged Illusione 68's. Have a box of 07's or 08's (can't remember what year) but just opened them and I was amazed how they have held up.

Lots of good suggestions, but I'm gonna look into a cab purchase... Along with a few other ideas that i heard in this thread

I wracking my brain right now and can't come up with the blend, but within the last couple weeks I got an email from one of the shops advertising a new blend that comes in a 3.5 x 50ish. Struck me as a strange size but is pretty close to the Firecrackers.

Might have been this one. PG Symphony 20 The Bombones (3 1/2 x 43)

There's going to be a Brickhouse in a similar size, I believe. I'd be interested to try it.

Yes, the 7-20-4 has some serious history throughout NH and New England in general. So much that back in '83 when the city of Manchester wanted to renovate the old building and turn it into condos they were only allowed to under the conditions that they left the exterior of the building intact, advertising banner and all.

BUT, that's history! The new 7-20-4s are a very good smoke for the price. Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, Costa Rican binder, Nicaraguan, Honduran, Mexican, and Colombian fillers. Extremely unique in flavor

The dog walkers are a fuller body than the rest of the line, nice and spicy too
