Cigar notes from a long time cigar guy Bought some Cubans about six weeks ago; Upman #2 $10.90 ea, and Montecristo #2 $8 each. I then purchased the much cheaper Romeo y Julieta Rothchild En Tubo Natural (rated 91 by CA) $3.40 each; and Henry Clay H2000 Corona Gorda Natural (91 by CA) $2.40 each. Both of these cigars are the equal or better than the much more expensive Cubans. Everybody has been saying for years that Nicaragua was about to catch up with Cuba and they have. The Clay is Dominican. Both are really good cigars.
