Plasencia makes it easy to buy cigars by the pound

You know that anyone who sells cigars under the "One Pound Of" brand name is someone who thinks outside of the box, and who has a touch of whimsy in him. You'd probably guess that the resulting cigars are either really great or really terrible.One Pound of cigars

But if you knew they were being made under the direction of the legendary Nestor Plasencia, Sr. you'd probably guess the former, and indeed these One Pound Of cigars we sell at Thompson Cigar are 16 ounces of tobacco-y goodness.

Plasencia specializes in cigars with Cuban-seed filler tobacco, grown on his properties in both Honduras and Nicaragua. These cigars feature that quality tobacco in every stick, with a combination of long fillers and short fillers. That is why they are known as "sandwich cigars," and the name is kind of appropriate if you think about it. We buy the ingredients for a lunchtime sandwich by the pound, so why not buy our after-lunch smoke the same way we purchase meat and cheese?

One reason to consider this is that buying cigars by the pound turns out to be as good of a deal as buying your pantry staples out of the bulk bins at the supermarket -- and you don't even have to try and wrestle those coffee grounds or grains of cereal into the bag. One pound of One Pound Of cigars costs $69, and gets you a box of 30 excellent smokes. And I'm kind of proud and amazed that it took me that long to break out the "one pound of One Pound Of cigars pun.
