$10 a cigar from an unknown source and an unknown supplier that was picked up after being abandoned in some "B" grade factory?  I think I'll pass.

I saw that, strange how the "related" items at the bottom were from Merlion
And from 2012/2013 with the supposed age of these cigars being from 2012.  If true, I was not particularly impressed with the Merlion...overpriced, generic type smoke.  A distant follow-up to La Sirena.  Although it seems La Sirena is doing the same sort of thing with cheapo line extensions Jaxx and Stixx which were basically cigar surplus that was bought and rebranded.
...and Merlion was made in the La Aurora factory in the Dominican.
La Sirena has a new offering, Oceano that has gotten good reviews. I almost bought one at Hamburg

They now produce at La Zona

Yea, I wouldn't mind having a visit with Arielle Ditkowich's Porthole....
I remember reading that and thought the association with Espinosa to be a little odd as he is the one that produced the shitting tasting parallel cigar, La Sirena Mermaid that caused a lot of confusion on the Devil a while back...people thinking they got a great deal on La Sirena's only to get these and smoke them....http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/99549/la-sirena-mermaid/
I definitely wouldn't kick her out of bed for puffing on my corona too quickly.

Tried it a while back, wasn't overly impressed.  Very mild with good tobacco flavor and not a lot more.

Portholes don't seem to be available at too many places...Pipes and Cigars is all I found.
I believe they were meant for only B&M release.
