Title: Bomba Italiano
Post by: Jackal on 12/13/2015 03:41 PM
I was visiting one of our business partners in Ancona last week.   My contact there, Alessandro, is also a cigar lover.  He gifted me some Italian made cigars.  Gonna light them up during one of the weekday herfs.

Well that's pretty cool. I'm interested to know how they compare to others.

I'd be interested to know how they were. Seems most Italian tobaccos are from a Kentucky strain that was brought over to Italy before the 1800s, Given the soils and climates, it could have turned into something interesting.  

These are machine made though so I guess it will be a harder comparison with hand made cigars, still they might be surprising.

I was told that they smoke better if humidified, but not to put in with other sticks because of their strong odor.

I've smoked quite a few of all the different blends from that brand when I was in Italy on numerous occasions. I do believe I have reviewed the "originale" and one other. Happy smokin'
