Actually Todd, just a minor point, but the Canonazo and Genio aren't factory, hence the distinction I made. Not that it matters, they're just excellent.
Good point. I forgot there was a distinction between the factory rolled and the farm rolled... though I'm not sure on the details. If you have some inside info, I would love a PM!! After speaking with John about who rolls the "world famous" ones... I really wanna try all of them! Every one I have smoked has been awesome. Some, due to the nature of them being fresh rolled have had a firm draw, but the flavor has been astounding in every case.
I can't wait to try the shorts and corona extra... Those will be my next purchase... And I have no problem being patient until next summer for what I have now
I really wanna try those 2 as well. The Partagas Short is one of my favorite CC, and because of them I have started trying other "small" cigars. We're gonna have to be quick on the draw to get the corona extras... even with Joe giving me a head's up last time there were some available I was too late. They sold out super fast!

It's literally just like it sounds, at least what I gather that John has told me. His cigars that are labeled "factory" come from factory rolling tables, the "farm rolled" are made by rollers who are factory trained but not rolling as part of a production. The "World Famous" cigars are made by a roller named Santos, who is regarded (as I understand it from John) as the #2 roller in the world. The Genio and Canaonazo are made by Nestor, a factory roller, but not in his capacity as a factory roller...I don't think. The details get a little murky trying to piece the whole picture together based on little bits of info here and there.
Jonny sent me two of those lovely smokes with the carton of Cohiba's I ordered (sorry couldn't resist Cuban Cigarettes) I'm dying to fire one up yet unsure if I should wait or not
So how are the Cuban cigs?
pretty damn strong but reminiscent of miniature Siglo 3's
I got my sampler last week. I smoked a couple this weekend. Doooods what awesome frigging smokes. The smell off these sticks when you open the package is intoxicating. Had one right out of the package and it rocked, but dryboxing the next one made a world of difference. I'm going to get a ton and half more of these.

Thanks to all who have been contributing to this thread, the information is fantastic and I've really enjoyed learning so much more about these amazing cigars. Wish I had more right now but only smoked two, one from Todd BandyT, and one from the sampler I ordered. I'm getting low since I keep sending them out but reading everyone's experiences and excitement has made it so worth sharing these and letting other brothers in on this incredible experience!
If somebody would be so kind as to PM me details on where or how to order some of these, or I would be down for a decent sized split. Just got a big check in the mail for moving to our new house, so I'm itching to spend.
All the info anyone needs to find these is located in this thread. Now that might require reading back through the first few pages, but rest assured it's all here.
After so much praise had to order the world famous sampler #1 here. Seems his samplers are constantly changing as the one I picked up is 9xMag47, 10xShort Piramid, and 6xCulebras. Can't wait for them to arrive and will be sure to post my initial thoughts if I catch one of them before the sick period.
Hey fellas. I want to pick some of these up. Is there anyone interested in splitting an order or trading for some? I wish I could get an entire order but money is kinda short. Thanks.
