Diablo Picante

i thought they were a great smoke for the money. planning on picking up a more of these. They were a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure what to expect.

Ouch.

Online I think you can find them $5 or less.

My local tobacco shop just had great deal yesterday....a diablo sampler in this mini casket box with a Caliente (5x50) , a Pimiento (6 1/2x45) and a Gran Fuego (6x60) for $11.

That's $16.75 retail, so not a bad deal.

BTW, Picantes only retail for $3.75...locally I pay 3.50

Great question! My 400 count humidor was overflowing....being that I am not made of $$, I could not justify buying a cabinet humidor so I just converted a regular old cooler to a coolerdor. Go to www.heartfeltindustries.com and buy 65% or 70% beads (depending on how you like your humidity)...most habanos smoke better around 65%, but anyway, get a cooler, drop in you cigars, beads and digital hygrometer and ...wwalllaaaa...a coolerdor.

Make sure you let it breath weekly at least. Hope that answers your question!

Where in the heck do you buy your cigars at!!! Holy crap!!!

Actually, these are a decent medium smoke - a bit less spicy than I anticipated. I've put a few to sleep to see how they smoke in a year or so - I'm thinking it might be a pretty good smoke with time...

It seems a lot of retailers are doing specials on these. Our was doing a buy two, get one free - with a free cutter. I've seen the packs they're selling - seems interesting.

Yeah...thats the most common complaint i think...especially for a cigar with such a dark wrapper....compared to most maduros it is a little tame, but I enjoy them...
