I searched for a thread on this and didn't see it so hopefully I am not being repetitive. If so, Kuzi will kill me and everyone will be happier.
Does anyone have any tinned cigars they recommend? I saw a few things about the CAO Brazillia tins. But any other ones worth mentioning?

    I've heard that Ashton's are decent as well...

    And I've seen (I think) some Gurkha's before.

    no... im a douche bag...


    ok i was kidding.
    ill still post that bit about everyday cigars. part of it is a joke. part of it is because there are tons of good cigars mentioned in the threads i linked to.


    as far as tins go... i have a list of threads that are on this forum....

    just kidding..
    i like the CAO Italia in a tin. i hear gurkha makes a good tin smoke. Cohiba makes em. iduno... just never got into the tinned cigars.

    Haha, I didn't take it hard at all. I know how frustrating a repetitive thread can be. I like the idea of a tin. Transportability, quick smoke, multiple smokes. I don't know where I would use them. But I like to think I could use them

    What's the difference between a cigar in a tin and a cigar shipped in a spanish cedar box? Is it kinda like wine being aged in french oak as opposed to stainless steel?

    tinned cigars are usually small. 36-40 ring. 3- 4 inches. 5 pack kinda thing.

    ya know, now that i think about it many of the women that i know who are into cigars at all like the tins.

    not only that but they seem to like a smaller ring gauge in general.

    maybe a larger ring is a bit to Phallic for them... or maybe they know that the wrapper to filler ratio tastes better.

    CAO Italia, Gold, and Criollo are all great tinned cigars. Punch tins are also great.

    The CAO Cameroon and Maduro tins aren't bad IF you are looking for a quick (25 minute) smoke. These 2 are machine made and dry cured. Kinda nice if you really need to squeeze a cigar into your lunch break or something. I wouldn't compare them to the other tinned cigars out there that are handmade.

    Strangely enough, I purchased a tin of CAO Mx2 cigars. 4x38. Not a bad stick little smoke.

    Honestly, the Onyx tins (I believe they are called Impulse) aren't bad. They are a little rough, but the taste is very good, they produce a good bit of smoke, and have a decent kick for the size.

    most tin cigars I have come accross are dry curred, nothing more than glorified hot burning cigarettes. for example, sancho panza tins I bought once, terrible. kahlua tins, terrible. I stopped trying tins after that.
