I forgot to refill my portable humidor yesterday so I stopped by Martinez Cigar on my way home.  The Passion is a nice cigar but expensive and under-filled.  It served its purpose but you don't expect an $8 corona to split, unravel, etc.  The draw was decent but the burn was a bit wonky too.



Nothing as disapponting as a smoke that underperforms. The good thing is you can try again today with another selection.

Think it was a storage/humidity issue or general construction?

Is that a Martinez Brand Cigar?  Band doesn't look like the Garmirian's Passion that I am familiar with.

Damn Atl...makin Famous look BAD!
Dear Shaun Harrison,

We are pleased to inform you that your order is on its way!

Your order tracking information is listed below.
I think they are the best.  Smoke Inn has the nice hand written note thing, but they can afford that for what they charge.
Their prices are either on-market or just absurd.  Need to find someone to get Tatuaje TAAs from...I don't think ATL is a TAA member...
I posted a link yesterday for those, did you see it?
For them at ATL?  I see Corona Cigar just got em, Emerson's, and Smoke Inn...but not ATL...
Oh no, I posted Emerson's link
I need a promo code for them, haha
Who has the lowest price on them? I know it ain't SmokeInn
Everyone is in the $190s from what I can see
Pull the trigger cheapo!
2,800 boxes...plenty to go around and wait for a deal :)

Not related, but the Tat Blk CG's are gone on the deal at Famous... not surprised. I think there was 14 when I left out yeasterday. Glad I picked one up.  ;D
Got Mine - yeah that was too good a deal to hang around too long.

Yeah I posted on the Tat board after we all could rape them first...don't think they lasted long.  Such an unbelievable price!
Way to go Dip Stick what if some of us wanted some more.

Made right there on the premises in NYC.  Unfortunately I think it was shitty construction.  Flavors were fine though.

It is indeed the Martinez brand.  This particular one is called 'Passion'.  The photo sucks but I didn't look at it until today.

Was thinking the same. He must be trying to make friends on his 'other' board... 2-timer. Minus another 5V GoldStar, I say!

That damn Famous had a new 601 called Steel Rod this morning on the regular daily deal 5/$25 or 26 wanted to try them but thought too expensive.  Now they show them on the Mash as sold out for 5/$22.   Frik'n dicks

I saw these on the sale email yesterday. Looked interesting.
There is a cpn for them if you'd rather a FREE 5-pk instead of the discount options.

Will use which ever opportunity comes first.  I generally like 601 stuff even though for some reason the Blues once my favorite have gone to crap.

The LaBomba's are a staple for me. Definitely my favorite. Still need to sample the Warhead as well.
