What Should You Be Smoking Instead of Cuban Cigars

This week on The Cigar Authority LIVE from the Toscano Cigar Sound Stage… We ask what should you be smoking instead of Cuban cigars? In the first hour we smoke a cigar that some say is Cubanesque from the Care Package, the Bandolero Barbaros.

In the second hour of the cigar we fire up a Cuban Cohiba Siglo VI and compare it to cigars available in the American market that we feel are better and in some cases less expensive.

We will have this and all the usual suspects including Versus, Offer of the Day, Cigar News and a peek into the Asylum.
