Has anyone tried these or any of his other Drop stuff? Any good?

[Coloniales]

Yes I like them, good pricing and pleasant smoke.

Planning to smoke his mareva tonight. Great size and love the back story- based of his experiences in Pinar del Rio.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Certainly one of the better new world cigars I’ve had on this new world journey I’m exploring. In profile it is very close to a montecristo. Reminded me of a box of aged Monte 4 I had from 2015 - lots of refined cream and cocoa (without getting too dark) in its profile. Highly recommend. Brilliant smoke.

And the size is just an absolute delight. Really taking a liking towards this slim profiles.

I smoke the marevas.

I really enjoy most stuff that Kyle does. Warped and Padron have been top of my New World rankings for years. And Bits of Havana goes right along with that. Very enjoyable makes IMO. I still need to snag some of the Gellis Series smokes.

Bits of Havana is listed as a full-bodied maduro. That accurate in people experience?

I didn't actually eve realize that there was a maduro version of any of the vitolas. Looks that this one is a LE that I hadn't seen before. I've only had the Robusto and Petit Corona naturals. I'd say that the two that I've had have been solidly medium bodied. But again, haven't ever come across the maduros.

Thanks, this is great info. The image I posted was the only vendor I found for "Bits of Havana," and I didn't realize that these weren't the standard line. Is teh standard line discontinued? If you have any leads on where to get the standard version in the US, please send me a PM. Thank you!

Drop Cigar Club is the first party vendor. May be some third party vendors around the country as well. But I've always purchased direct. The vitolas tend to come and go. I'll shoot the website over.
