Cremo Cigars- Anyone Heard of Them?

CIGARS

For over 25 years manufacturing premium cigars and cigar accessories. Cigars, humidors, cutters, private label cigars, it's a boy, it's a girl.

A great shop in Miami. I'm still eagerly awaiting the re-release of the Santos de Miami, but it's been several years, so not sure if that's still coming to pass. The La Tradicion Cubana is a phenomenal blend at an affordable price.

If I were in Miami, I would prioritize visiting El Titan de Bronze and wherever Pete Johnson is having some of the Tatuajes rolled in Miami - used to be Garcia's El Rey de los Habanos, but I believe that factory has since closed its doors.

You could also wander Calle Ocho and check out whatever cigar factories are still operating there.

And cigar prices aren't going down anytime soon, except for the coming crash of premium & Havana brands.

I don’t see any website for Jameson, I found jamesoncigars.com but it’s no longer active.

Reading around various sites, say that the Santos de Miami are rolled in the Dominican Republic.

I see there’s a website for El Titan de Bronze;

Handrolled Cigars - Miami Factory & Store - El Titan de Bronze

Official website & store of El Titan de Bronze Cigar Mfg., located in Miami, FL, USA. Producers of elite cigar lines for Drew Estate, Warped, La Palina, Padilla, Cornelius & Anthony, and more. Exclusively handmade premium cigars by Cuban master rollers in our boutique factory located in the...

Pepin Garcia has a shop called El Rey de los Habanos in Miami? My FatherI I know, are any My Father rolled in Miami?

Ok, so I googled and Calle Ocho, an area of Little Havana. I won’t be able to wander over there… LoL

All in all, who rolls the best in Miami?

Thanks

Jameson used to distribute Santos de Miami. They are now rolled and distributed by La Tradicion Cubana - if they ever decide to re-release them.

My email I sent to Cremo Sunday, no word at 4 business days later.

That’s seriously bad business support!

Does anyone think when you send an email to SPC, 4 days later no word, no, not at all.

Forget Cremo, if they can’t reply in a prompt professional manner, which is 2-3 business days, and 3 is a stretch too in ecommerce for customer support.

Actually a very serious and professionally run and staffed business will actually on many occasions reply the following day.

This to me is serious BS, no reply 4 days later…

To be honest, they are a small outfit that sells what are fairly affordable cigars. You asked them when they're going to sell them cheaper. I would've binned your email, too. If you want cheaper smokes, buy cheaper smokes from somewhere else.

I actually sent them an email inquiring about a few things, not just costs. I also didn’t ask them when they were going to sell cheaper, I asked if they might offer less expensive cigars in the future.

There was nothing wrong with the email I sent, asking a few varied questions about their products.

Sorry you misunderstood my last few replies, I thought I explained ok before.

Aloha & be well @pantsBoots

Incidentally, Mr. Hill presented Mr. Crosby with a terrier dog who the latter named Cremo (imagine that!). The dog may be seen in this image together with Mr. Crosby and his first wife Dixie Lee (whose real maiden name was Wilma Wyatt).

Here, Wilma demonstrates the incredibly smooth and nick free shave that Cremo provides her delicate and petite armpits. Unfortunately, she had forgotten that she was still wearing clothes.

Just ordered their corona sampler...thanks!

Cubans have been ridiculously priced for a while now, but I hadn't looked at the pricing on super premiums for a while until I got the inkling to order a box of Fuente Don Carlos No. 2's. Holy Shit! $342.37! Not.

I can't imagine that they sell many of those.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

No, but I do enjoy their shaving cream.

The flavor is ok, but I find it hard to keep lit.

Let us know how those Coronas are. I know the factory from the special releases they're commissioned to roll. Have heard good things about the factory tour, too.

Fuente seemed to jump their pricing along with the Cubans. Don Carlos are great, but I don't pay their MSRP. Same goes for the Hemingway. Too many other good cigars out there at less cost.

I started smoking Fuentes 30 years ago, before the “Cigar Boom”. They were very affordable. It doesn’t seem possible, but I think the 8-5-8’s were well under $50 a box. $27 sticks in my mind.

I was just thinking the other day, when I first started smoking some of the nicer brands of new world cigars In the 80s, prices really seemed fair. But now I am really shocked how expensive a lot of new world brands have gotten, and it makes me think the Cuban insanity has everyone jacking up prices.

Padron’s 60th Anniversary is retailed at $75 a stick… sheesh

P.S. I bought a Don Carlos #4 still, sitting in my tupperdor since January this year, it will be the first Don Carlos I’ve tried, whenever I get around to it, not sure when… It was like $10…

It's crazy because in many cases like the Padon Anniversary sticks and the Habanos, they aren't even really attempting to justify the price with any special processes or tobaccos. I hope the bubble bursts on some of these cigarmakers. Habanos S.A wants to go full capitalist, they can enjoy your little tulip boom bursting if the mega-rich markets they're serving eventually start to wonder what they're paying for.

I just started back into cigars this year, quit in the mid 90s, and we all know everything goes up in life.

But I swear back then, the market just seemed more fair/balanced.

I’ve read, people are saying with the costs of prices today, everything going up, shipping costs, labor, materials, and COVID making an impact, it plays a part in the higher prices, among all the other rises in inflation, costs of living, fuel, etc…

I’m not sure I buy into all this, because seriously, New World cigars, didn’t have high prices like we are seeing today, this seriously looks like the market is just trying to capitalize on Cuba’s extreme hikes, and it makes perfect sense, they’re going to do it, they’re saying/thinking, might as well jump on board while Cuba is going insane.

They seriously must think we all have our heads buried in the sand, or hiding in a cave clueless here, as if there’s really any justification on the insane new world prices today.

You know what the problem is, because the wealthy cigar smokers of the world don’t care, and buy into all this, that is what’s keeping this a float.

Because, if the cigar world, only had the working class to make a living off of, you’d never see these prices happening at all.

This is plain and simple, the cigar industry, is just riding the Cuban Wave as long as it can.

But I tell ya what, if the New World cigars with all their jacked up prices don’t really deliver just like Cuba, sooner or later the cigar smokers will wake up and stop supporting it.

Look at social media, the likes of Instagram, pretty much every pic, is high fashion clothing, watches, cars, style with their so-called showing off of their high end cigars, and the ignorant are buying into it. This does help keep prices jacked up!

Don’t get me wrong, there are truly good people, and some good on Instagram, but there is also way to much damage.

Cuba, and Social Media is the damage, they’re not helping, and it’s really the facts here!

Cuba cigar supply is WAY down, which drives prices up (some estimates have only 10% of the factory workers and about 50% of the farmers still in place - the rest having either fled the country during COVID or else moved on to different crops and jobs). The non-cuban cigar market has responded and there are now more non-cubans available across the world as cigar stores struggle to keep their shelves stocked where Cubans used to dominate. This results in higher demand and lower supply for non-cuban, which drives prices up. I'm definitely recognizing companies like Fuente and Padron have raised prices beyond what I consider reasonable, but it's not just flat-out greed across the board.

As mentioned above, look into budget cigars - there are lots of great deals out there.

 

[PipeIT]

The Cuban supply is down, but there’s still a lot around the world in circulation, catching attention, and still paying. A demand of sorts is still there, but so called Cuban Prestige, it’s scarcity, or it’s high prices, could push, or is pushing the idea of a New World Prestige, with a higher price tag.

I‘m sure we can all agree that not everyone is after greed. But can we honestly say, some didn’t look at Cuba and go why not.

I believe the Budget Range Price on cigars is like $2-$6. I am not a Budget smoker, but I’ve been considering to try smaller inexpensive sticks in between the regular cigars, like possibly Fuente Natural Cubanitos, Fuente Natural Exquisitos, or Davidoff Mini Cigarillos. But if there's some seriously inexpensive cigars out there crazy good, or bundles I’ve yet to run across, then I’m certainly up for trying. So far I’ve yet to find a budget inexpensive cigar I liked.

With so many brands out there, why even bother spending exorbitant amounts of money, on something you might not like, it’s a gamble.

P.S. Speaking of Budget stogies, has anyone had the Corona Bundle from El Titan De Bronze?

11 year old review mentions ex- Cohiba Cubans rolling them, that's a good start. Wonder if they're still there?
