I played and won the free 25 cigar give away through Cubin Crafters, I picked these for the win. Have not got them in yet, but I am exited to test them out. I have talked with alot of people who say these are worth the money.

[...] overpower this crisp, spirited drink. A Connecticut-wrapped smoke like the Nub Connecticut or Cuban Crafters Medina 1959 will go perfectly. On the other hand, I also found that a medium-bodied maduro like the Romeo y [...]

Considering who makes these, the blend used, the fact they are crafted in Miami and the absolutely flawless construction of these cigars, it is no surprise that the 1959 commands the price it does. Like ALL Cuban Crafters cigars It's well worth every penny and then some.

My apologies for some misspellings – I was typing my comments on my Iphone while smoking outside.

The 1959s are excellent. I purchased a box if the Rothchilds. Yes – they are mild. I love the nuances if a mild smoke. The 1959s are extremely smooth and creamy and yes there is a hint of butterscotch. The burn is flawless and the ash is tight. The aroma is wonderful – if you have friends that are put off by cigar smoke; either get rid of them or smoke the 1959s around them.

I smoked several so far- the 1959s pair well with coffee in the morning and they complement any kind of whiskey and/or single malt in the later hours of the day.

I'm not a big fan of blogs but I am sold on the Stogie Guys. The reviews for the 1959s and Ybor City Handmades were excellent and true to the exact flavor/body of the cigars.

Thanks for pointing these beauties out.

Just purchased a box of the Robustos knowing cigars could very well be taxed out of existence after last night.

Looking forward to smoking them . . .

Just smoked one of these monsters. It was by far the best CC I have smoked and I am very inexperienced, but didn't come away overly impressed by any means. I would smoke it again, as there are 4 left in my humidor but I think there are better cigars out there for the price.

I received an e-mail this morning from CC also advertising the Medina series and 5-pack samplers. I went ahead and purchased the robusto sampler. Can't wait to smoke these beauties soon.

I heard about these cigars from a friend and he was able to get me a few to try. I have through the years smoked several authentic cubans, and was a bit skeptical to try these. So i had my old man try them with me since he has smoked pre-1959 cigars back in cuba. We were both extremely pleased with the smoothness and fabrication of the cigar. It had a great even burn until the end. I highly recommend picking one up, i searched this morning and they posted some sampler packs in their website cubancrafters.com
