I order them quite often and they are a great smoke at a very modest price point.
I had the same experience about 2 years ago as well. Really like them.

Very cool you guys have been to the actual shop and met Carlito. Great guy, and the Flor de Ybor City's are a real sleeper smoke, as i never see them mentioned on the several forums I belong to, and had never heard of them until I was given a few and looked them up. The connection with Carlito Fuente explains a lot about their quality.
Definitely very good for the price.
Very excited to get my Sungrown Sampler and get them resting and acclimating so I can start trying them in about a month.

I got to meet Arturo Jr. He spent a long time just talking cigars with me and even wrote me well wishes in a box a bought as a surprise. Probably one of the coolest cigar experiences I've had (outside of the orgy of course). If you are ever in the Tampa area, you have to go.
