Dannemann Tubes (Pure Havana Filler)

**Corona Gigante** · 09-20-2005, 03:36 PM

I'm just guessing, but I'd be willing to bet that these are short filler, machine made cigars, made in Germany with "pure Havana" tobacco which was not of a good enough quality for use in premium, long filler, hand made cigars. Note that there is no indication where the wrapper and binder leaves come from.

They might be OK, but they're probably not going to be wonderful.

Try to find a Montecristo #2 or a Bolivar Belicoso Fino or a Hoyo de Monterey Epicure #2. These should be moderately priced and should give you a better idea if you want to know what all the fuss is about "Cuban cigars."

Hi all,

Today I had some spare time so I tried one of the cigars. I lighted it with a cooking fire as I thought it would be a good as it capable of lighting everything up at one time with a good gas. Not that it mathers that much..

The smell was not quite as I was expecting, it didn't have a rich smell. The taste wasn't that great either but it was soft all the way! It didn't have that sharp taste at the end (wich I don't like). It had a long warm taste to it. But as I sed, not that great of a taste.

Well I guess I was expecting too much from a 2,70€ cigar, I just assumed that they would be worth around 5€ here, as I bought them taxfree.

Thanks for your suggestions, i guess I will try one of the suggested brands.
