Exile Cigars

I tried one a few weeks ago. I remember I liked it. Had a unique taste, but could'nt locate any at a discount. I noticed them today at the b&m but didn't really consider buying another at $5-6. They are a little gimmcky with the cuban connection and the individal wrappers are recreations of the cuban embargo headlines from old newspapers. Would try again if they were to become more widely available on line and chaper. Oh yeah, the bands and boxes do remind you of Perdomo counterfiet cubans.

the counterfeit cubans were mike's project and a reason for the friendship between mike and lew rothman.
one of the reasons that mike's company sells some altadis product...friends helping friends....

I thought those counterfiet cubans were not half bad for the $, but only the robustos. The churchills I tried had burn issues. If I had joined this forum 5 years ago I would have joined as Perdomo Fan.

I recently was given an Exile to try and have to admit it was a decent cigar. I liken it to the new CAO Vision that I paid a much heftier price for the previous week. I told the owner of the shop who gave it to me that it reminded me of the Big Brother of the Vision. Seemed to have the same flavors only more pronounced. Actually not a bad smoke for the price.
