I really like Uncle Lee cigars. Since they have all but turned into unobtainium, I find only 2 more in my humidor.

I find myself wondering, do any of the current offering taste anything like Uncle Lees? Anything close?

    Now I'm in a spot. I have one. I can either send it to you or I can smoke it to give you my "tastes most like" assessment. But then you dont get it.

    I think I have one left as well. Maybe we can set up a Uncle Lee go fund me. If 5 BOTL send him one boom he’s got a 5r!

    If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience :D
    If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....

    Did they get released with a $5 price tag or was that the close out prices?

  • VisionVision Posts: 8,623 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes. I would be in for a couple of 101 for that price.

    I don't see any chief cool arrows in there.

    I never took a shine to Uncle Lee. Much preferred Chief Cool Arrow. Uncle Lee was a fun cigar to bomb out, though, but I'm out now.

    I bought two boxes blind of Uncle Lee, based on a recommendation of a trusted source, back when they were being closed out / discounted. It took a while for me to warm up to them but maybe they were only good for me after a few years rest. It had a lot of unique, desirable characteristics that I cannot describe.

    And based on my experience with Room 101 as a brand, I would probably buy any of them blind, expecting good things.

    I did the same, a couple of boxes on closeout, probably paid ~ $40/per. I think I still have one in the aging cooler, it is yours @Diver43 if you are interested. Wish I could tell you what other cigars are like Uncle Lee, truth is I'll smoke (almost) anything, even Backwoods Naturals, back in the day even partially smoked cigarettes in the ashtrays outside of the mall. :)
