Todays Cigar 08/07/08

The cigar I picked for today was one of my favorites a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Epicure from CigarBid.com. 5/25x50 size.

The Excalibur is the premier line from Hoyo De Monterrey, with top-quality Connecticut shade wrappers and the very finest fillers. The Excalibur Epicure features the full-flavor and strength of the regular line, with a rich, creamy taste.

Top25Cigar Rating : 6.99

I must disagree with this rating, I thoroughly enjoyed the cigar. It was smooth, mild and was consistent in its taste and burn throughout.

Today I decided to try a cigar that never had before. It was a Gurkha 8 year Legend box-pressed toro. I got a 5 pack of them from CigarBid.

Same Cigar Vendor ?

I was listening to a podcast of The Cigar Alliance and one of the guests mentioned that these 3 online sites have the same mailing address.

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/contactus.asp
http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/contactus.cfm
http://www.cigar.com/info/index.asp

What would be the reason for this ?

I have found that CigarBid is a division of Cigar International.
