I love the Isla De Cuba natural cigar. I smoke them till theres nothing left of it. If i really like somebody it's the cigar I'll share with them:) I can only afford them when they're on sale but occasionally I get lucky and find them when they are. Nice work. It's a great cigar. Thank you

I have to agree…pricing seems out of whack but I'll give 'em a shot, JR has them at half price this week and $4 a stick is easier to swallow than $8 a stick. Go JR!

my point is… you can get a Fuente Spanish Lonsdale for $3, a Padron Londres for $2, a JdN lancero for $3, an Oliva Serie O for $3… I don't understand how these new guys think they can sell an everyday cigar for $6-8 and be successful… you can even get a super premium Padron 1964, Ashton VSG or some of the smaller OpusX sizes for $8-9. In my view, you gotta really prove yourself before you can sell your cigars in that premium price range… Oh well, good luck to him.

I wouldn't say he's nuts at all. I bought a box of the Classic Belicosos after reading a review here and have been really happy with the purchase. Tremendous smoke. Only costs about $6 apiece. Well worth the money if you ask me.

this guy is nuts if he thinks $8 is a reasonable price for an everyday mild to medium bodied cigar… does he know you can get a Padron with tobacco that is aged 2-3 years for $2-3 a stick?

I enjoyed your review of the Isla natural, as I do all of your boutique reviews. Seems to me like boutiques are a great way to get wonderful sticks for less cash. Are you guys planning a review from Isla's maduro line?
