Cubans

I think you and ggiese are right. Any tobacco that makes it out is probably the crap.

Considering some of the cuban low end brands that are mixed filler, the stuff shipped out, unless it fetches a pretty price, is probably junk.

I like some of that low-end brand mixed filler machine made Cuban cigars (i.e. Quintero Brevas) with age... Blows away similarly price NC stuff that's available at the gas stations...

Yep, but my last batch of JLP's cazadores where all crap. Super tight roll and the wrappers would never burn on any of them.

My brevas have been good though.

That being said, I'd buy a box of JdN Cele. consouls (which run in the 40 dollar range) over either JLP or bevas

I've had mixed quality JLP Cremas and pretty bad drawing Cazadores in the past, but my last 5 boxes of JLP Cremas have been excellent. I haven't given the Cazadores a 2nd chance.

JLP Cremas are by far my favourite cigar under US$2.00 (NZ$2.30 to be precise).
