Who likes a good cigar?
Bill clinton does....Who likes a good cigar?
austin said:ticm, I love cigars. My favorites used to be Partagas # 10 because I liked the Cameroon wrappers. Now I tend to go with Fuente OPUS X's when I can get them. I love cuban cigars. Back in the 80's and 90's I used to spend summers in England. Had friends in London. When I got to town I used to head down to this tobacconist's shop on St. James Place. He would take three boxes (one cuban Cohiba, one cuban Partagas and one Bolivar.)of great cuban cigars(love Churchill size) and then he did his magic. I took the Bolivar's with me. The other two-he opened them, took the cuban bands off, put nicaraguan bands on, put them in Nicaraguan boxes, wrapped them for shipping, addressed them to my home in San Antonio, gave them to me, I went a half block up the street to the post office, mailed them home and when they arrived my sister opened them and put them in my humidor. Worked for years until I started playing golf and quit traveling. Cubans are hard to come by here. They sell fakes on the Mexican border so you have to go to the Casa de Habana in Mexico City to get real ones. But I am just as happy with Fuente's. Guess I'm getting old. I don't smoke nearly as much as I used to, but would love to sit outside watching you dig for treasure while I puffed on a good one. Hope this answers your question...By the way, check out Finck Cigar Co. outlet in San Antonio. I am a regular there and Bill, who owns a big factory downtown is pretty cool, even if he is a Texas Aggie. His favorite joke," what is the difference between a tornado and a (University of Texas) t.u. cheerleader? Nothing, they're both gonna wind up in a trailer park.
