Title: Frank Llaneza 1961 Magnum
Post by: wescat on 07/01/2018 06:41 AM
Cigarpage has Frank Llaneza 1961 Magnum 5 packs for $15, with free shipping, which is about as cheap as these get:   https://www.cigarpage.com/five-packs-galore-plus-freebie.html

Check out Nathan's review of it here:   http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigars;area=showcig;cigar_id=27790&t=Frank_Llaneza_1961_Magnum

If you've never had one, consider buying a 5 pack. It's not that it's the best cigar you've ever had, the deal is that this cigar was Frank Llaneza's opus, it is no longer being made, and Frank Llaneza was the real deal, an ooooold school tobacco man. He owned Villazon, in the '90's they made 30 million cigars per year.

Here is an interview of Frank from 1999:  https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/interview-frank-llaneza-of-villazon-7362

Thanks for the info Kevin. I ordered a 5 pack. Sounds like a good cigar and definitely a good deal.

These are really good.  Jared (theburnward) turned me on to these a few years ago and I have burned most of a box of torpedos.  Might grab a fiver myself.

It makes sense that Jared likes them. I picked up this box of Double Coronas back in 2011, off of Thompson Auction. Tasty. I remember that LowPro liked them too.
