Ok, so a while ago I had a post about unique cigars. I got a lot of responses!
Now I have a more specific question. Who makes Culebras?
So far I have:
Davidoff Special C
Fuente Opus (which no one will ever see in real life)
Illusione 23's
Partagas ISOM Old Style
Partagas ISOM New Style
Drew Estates Medusa
I'd like to try to get 1 of each, and am looking for some knowledge here!
Thanks, Mason

For a good culebra stick with the Cuban Partagas new release, they are cheap and best of all they are all hand rolled now. From 2000 to their discontinuance a few years ago they were machine made. They are cheap, and come in a 9cigar box, or 3 culebras.
I've smoked the Davi's, not bad either.

Did a google search found out that LaFlor Dominicana made a culebra, (Hey Rob! You got one of those?)
History of the culebra
The origin of the culebra cigar?
This is a 3 in 1 twisted cigar, having actually 3 cork screw-shaped cigars bound together. The physical appearance of this cigar is like no other. They can be smoked all at once or separated and smoked one at a time. This unusual cigar was an invention from the 19th century cigar factories, which kept workers from stealing cigars. Each employee was given 1 culebra cigar, usually unbinding it to smoke separately throughout the day. It became very obvious to the owners, which employee was smoking their allotment or which was smoking the profits.
A popular cigar available at DCW is the LaFlor Dominicana Culebra.
Try the search for yourself, there were quite a few companies that have made them, however I would only look at the ones that Partagas is puting out now. Or the oliva serie V if you can find one.

Yeah, I searched google but the info is always sketchy at best, and you never know what is worth a darn. I heard LFD actually makes 2 different one. A normal and Gorda with 2 maduro wrapped and 1 natural!!!
