Kit highlights: Bundle of 5 Cuban Cigars - Custom Rolled by "Alex" at the Hotel Comodore
These cigars come from Alejandro “Alex” González Aria. He is the youngest level 9 roller in Cuba and rolls his cigars at the Hotel Comodoro in Miramar, Havana. His clients come from all over the world, many of hem famous, including Michael Jordan.
Half Wheel featured Alex this past year here: https://halfwheel.com/portraits-alejandro-gonzalez-arias
These cigars were rolled like a Behike 56 and contain an extra leaf of ligero and a slightly darker wrapper than normally found on a Cuban cigar. They were rolled in December 2017 and picked up in January 2018.
Due to the tight controls the Cuban government places on un-banded cigars, these cigars are more difficult to come by than regular production cigars.

Opening bid: $50 ($5 minimum bid increments)
Kit highlights: Bundle of 5 Cuban Cigars - Farm Rolled

In 2008, Hector Luis Prieto became Habanos S.A.'s youngest ever "Hombre Habano" (Cigar Man of the Year) in the production category.
To put that into perspective, only 6 have ever won the award in the category, 3 of whom have passed, and 2 others who are in their 70s. It was quite an achievement as Hector won the award at the age of 36.
These cigars were rolled like a Behike 56 and contain an extra leaf of ligero. They were rolled in January / February of 2018 and picked up in February 2018.
Due to the tight controls the Cuban government places on un-banded cigars, these cigars are more difficult to come by than regular production cigars.
