Thanks!

Is the new Quintero, Petit Quintero Tripa Corta? I heard I think on here, that it is a new "super" tripa corta? Something finer grade or smaller?

Well done Trevor!

I wonder if anyone on FOH has tried all 181 standard production? I would guess yes!

Guilty - with the exception of most Fonseca, Piedra and Gonzales as they aren't my thing.

But all others I'd say yes, including many discontinued

Fantastic information!

Referred a friend to your website. He is green when it comes to Cuban Cigars. He was very impressed with all the information. Great educational tool! Thanks for all the work you put into that.

as we can see far to many Petit/Coronas have been culled

I agree. I love those sizes.

Awesome Trevor...thank you. Minor nit though...aren't both the PLP and PLMC mixed filler ?

PLMC are definitely long filler - at least for the last several years.

To the best of my knowledge, only the Por Larrañaga Panetelas is short filler but fully handmade.

The Por Larrañaga Montecarlos has been long filler & handmade since c2002.

Prior to this it was a machine-made short-filler.
