The Kristoff Ligero Matador and Lancero are amongst my favorite smokes...Loads of flavor and great construction from stem to stern make them very easy to nub.

@maxx @Skip Martin New taxes have to clear a Republican controlled house first being put up for vote in the Senate. Unfortunately, that firewall against the rampant theft of freedom currently taking place is very weak...

@Capttrips Cigars and tobacco products are already taxed to the hilt. I don't know where you live, but here in California, the prices for normal run of the mill smokes are through the roof. Taxing something, so as to make it prohibitively expensive  that only the well heeled can indulge in even the most mundane and pedestrian level smokes, let alone our beloved HTF and high end stuff, will surely kill businesses as readily as any smoking bans will.

I'm pretty sure our overlords would love to ban all forms of tobacco, but are in love with the revenue it brings via "sin taxes", and claiming "its for the children".


Skip is correct, all spending initiatives must originate in the House of Representatives.

The band reminds me of the ones on older honduran Hoyo de Montereys.

@AronL Ha hah...what's up man? I'm sure the millions of Gurkha generated dollars will go a long way to soothe any battering their egos take in the comments here....

I'm sure to all of our dismay, these will sell. Damn, there's a thousand of them; looks like well over a quarter million Gurkhas will be taking residence in the humidors of low information smokers.

Great news. Crowned Heads puts out quality stuff, and another line from them is good for those of us that appreciate a fantastic smoke.

Interesting choice on the size. Smaller RG's are always welcome in my humidor.

The best Dominican Partagas ever and one of the best cigars I've smoked since it came out.

I agree with the smaller RG being more flattering to the Fausto blend. The Short Chruchill is, in my opinion the best of the regular Fausto vitolas.
