"As you know, we love to compare our house product with the nationally distributed brands that sell for $4, $5, $6, and $7 per stick, especially when we can offer our own fine product at a fraction of their price, prices so low you can save $75 to $100 a box. Enter Honduras Finas. The cigars in this box of fifty are designed to supply the dedicated smoker with as good a taste as you can expect at economy prices. Our manufacturer Nestor Plasencia grows, packs, and cures all his own tobacco, exercising the most extraordinary control over the product from the seed to the finished cigar. Honduras Finas are basically a Cuban-seed cigar embodying all the characteristics you expect from Havana tobacco. The only exception is the Maduro wrapper grown from Cuban seeds in Costa Rica, a country that has only lately become an important Maduro leaf supplier. There, growers benefit from steep hillsides, avoiding the morning sun and allowing the wrapper tobacco to luxuriate in the afternoon sun and absorb the nutrients that give the Costa Rican Maduro a unique and delightful taste that connoisseurs are raving about. The Natural wrapper is Connecticut seed, sun grown in Honduras without shade. This growing process yields medium shades of Natural wrappers containing the tastes desired by today’s smoker. Try the Honduras Finas in the 30-count sampler. This is an unprecedented way to explore not only the variety of sizes and shapes of Honduras Finas but to do so in depth. The 30-count box affords the smoker a number of examples of each cigar, allowing first impressions to become lasting impressions. In the long tradition of Thompson’s providing value for the money, the Thompson Honduras Finas is the latest and most satisfying example" |
