HDGSN Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 There is obviously the Puntilla, and I know he is a fan of the Behike. Does anyone have any experience with any of his other vitolas and what they are like? I have seen photos of a ridiculous Double Lancero that he rolls. I am curious about that too.

Lucass111 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm dying to try some custom rolls. Need to find a way to get my hands on some.Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayepatz Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I can’t speak to the Double Lanceros, but the normal ones are excellent, as are his Churchills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have 2 bundles of his coronas.... they are awesome! Will be picking up some La Puntilla in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtrade Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I like his pyramides. And nice rich taste if you dont mind larger ring gage the sticks on the left are called Prince 58x6 very good smoke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 What is a double lancero!? Sounds fantastic! I just finished the last of some Carlos Fernandez "Behike blend" lanceros that were somewhere around 8.5 x 42 RG. Those were mind-bogglingly good. And riiiiiiiich... I've had various sizes of Alex's rolled in '16 and '17. They're good, but I failed to find all of the hoopla I keep hearing about - could easily be luck of the draw with respect to the tobacco he used in those particular cigars. They're good cigars, but I'd rather have a more-reliable branded cigar and the prices I see people paying to receive these second-hand is silly. I've seen people buying bundles that are priced nearly on par with Cohibas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also speak for the Alex Churchill's and say that the one @ayepatz brought back put my on my arse the other sunday, April '16, I'd say these need at least 5 years down for me.

anacostiakat Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Salomons, Canonazos, Lonsdales and Talismans are all excellent IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemuri Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Can alex's custom rolls be aged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madandana Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not only is he a great guy but I love his sticks. Churchill, Sig V1, Genios, BK, Sublime , Talisman and of course Corona. I also have some Jaw breakers from him but they need to sit a while longer as well as the new La Puntilla that I have thanks to a generous BOTL Always a big highlight of my trips is hanging with Alex and having some cocktails. He’s also very gracious to Dana, keeping her wine glass full.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topdiesel Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I've had his Robusto, Lancero, Coronas, Lonsdales (second favorite size) but my favorite size and blend is the puntilla. I don't think you can go wrong with anything he rolls. He is a master roller for sure and his sticks are a thing of beauty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I just landed some puntillas, I smoked one fresh, and was greatly impressed with it. Alex is a really nice fellow, very accommodating and humble. I would highly recommend visiting him at the comodoro if you are on the island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 After smoking what I think was a "Prince" that was gifted to me from a fellow member on here and along with another unrelated forum, is the only way to purchase Alex's customs by visiting him?

Yup. Or a Mule. He communicates through Facebook, so you can order cigars from him that way no problem. I'm sure there is one, but I am not aware of any shipping options to get customs off the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is perhaps the most accessible of the rollers. There are no shipping /courier /mail options to get customs off the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
