I've had that too, and his cigars are legitimately excellent. WAAAAAY back in the day, his La Gloria Cubana Wavells would sell out in minutes when it was announced they were in stock. Happened to numerous friends of mine, not me; you'd be lucky to get in on the phone and get an order placed.

I just snagged one last week. They’re going fast. CI is offering Drew Estate Undercrown boxes for $50 right now if you’re interested in those.

You outta try out the Vegueros Centrofinos, if you are looking at cheaper Cubans. It’s one of those that I constantly keep a supply of.

Just based on what you’ve said you’ve enjoyed, you’ll like the Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro. 92 rated I believe? Not that those ratings are always the best indicator of quality.

It’s a disease. I’ll buy some cigars just to look at them in the humidor

That was a great deal on those undercrowns. I wish I had room to pull the trigger on em, but the humidor situation is getting out of control.

Have owned quite a few cigar cutters, punch's, scissors, you name it. This has been the best, by far. Xikar-VX2-V-Cut-Cigar-Cutter

I’m trying to convince my wife that a closet in our basement should really be a walk in humidor if she’s so tired of me buying box humidors

Yeah, I’ve not pulled the trigger

I’ve never really used the v cut, but people that have say there’s no difference in drag from the straight cut. It’s really just a personal preference thing as I understand it.

It's a very clean cut and the end holds together really well. I like the draw and it's stayed factory sharp. It is a different type of cutting technique so play close attention to how you do it.

Enjoy!
