i smoked the Fonseca today. a very good smoke for about $7. if you try the 601 La Bomba it has a warning label due to its strength. It was not recommended for the weak or on an empty stomach.

No Padron. I have some of them in my travel humidors and wanted to find something new. I smoked the Undercrown by Drew Estates yesterday. All in all it wasnt a bad smoke but I discovered that you better be outside when smoking it cause man that thing really smokes

I just now noticed exactly where Stephen picked up his smokes. I used to get the Finck catalog and got curious enough to visit them in person while in San Antonio a couple years later.

 

At that time the store/factory was in a none-too-savory part of the city, just across the interstate from one edge of downtown. How about now?

Well the store is still right off the interstate but the factory is downtown San Antonio. But I was disappointed in the undercrown.

stopped by yesterday picked up EP Carrillo Maduro and a box of EP Limited 2009 box. I would of stayed but the lounge looked a little full. I like the shop and the staff are friendly.
