the Kremlin is in Washington DC!

yes, here in America we still cannot buy Cuban
cigars! Children that never took a breath in 1960 are
still handicapped by the Kennedy administration that
embargoed Cuban imports to the USA.

Puffers as opposed to smokers wouldn't know the
difference. In America the tobacco companies
spread the fairytale that cigars are for puffing and not
inhalation! If you ever spend any amount of time in
Cuba, Nicaragua or Venezuela you will realize that
you have been duped!

Common sense says that cigarette tobacco is the
lowest grade tobacco(H? in america) cigar tobacco
is better and premium pipe tobacco the best grade.
So if you inhale 20 cigarettes for $4 a pack, why
would you puff and blow out a $5 Montecristo or
Macanudo? Well if you dont know what you are
buying you will probably get a Honduran blend or
cheap Dominican brand. Honduras produces
tobacco that is favorful but very harsh and cheap
dominicans are better but funky tasting because of
demand for the premium priced tobacco.

Both are subject to chemicals added or sprayed on
that are cancer causing and used on all major
cigarettes in America and Europe with government
warning that they cause cancer. YOU are being
poisoned!

I would continue but anyone got a response on
government chemical warfare against its own
people and the cover up?


----------------
cigarette smokers/ smoke Bali Shag from a Danish
pipe manufacturer or Tekel the Marlboro, Dunhill,
Gaulosis from turkey for the true TOBACCO taste.
Dont be afraid of the lack of a filter and getting used
to them, your lungs are full of chemicals and YOU
WILL COUGH until you get used to the change!
Remember the American Indians smoked tobacco
as a mainstay and would die after about 120-130
years of age!. Not saying you are better to smoke
tobacco than not, but you are better to smoke REAL
TOBACCO without filters than CHEMICAL CANCER
with filters!

I went to Varadero Cuba a few years ago (US$ 1,200 bucks a whole week in a suite, all included even airplane ticket is a bargain) and the first thing I asked for was Cohiba Cigars, but the mother fu**ers of the hotel sold them at US$ 120.00 the medium class 20 cigars box.

An employee of the hotel saw that I refused to pay the price and told me he could sell me better cigars at a cheaper price.

So I rented a motorcycle (2 bucks per hour) and went to his house a bit far from Varadero (Depressing, all the family grandparents included lived in a two rooms apartment with a salary of 20 bucks a month) he took a case from bellow the bed and there they were, all the Cohiba boxes with official seal (You can't take the cigars out of Cuba if the box doesn't have the seals).

I bought 2 of the most expensive De Luxe Wooden Boxes at US$ 25.00 each one (plus two 3 Kilograms Coffee bags), he told me that the official price is 20 bucks, but the resorts have bought the rights to sell them to idiot tourists so they raised the price.

I had doubts of the authenticity of the cigars, but the clerk at the customs open my luggage, took the coffee and cigar boxes , checked the seals with ultra violet light and a magnetic sensor detector, then I  knew it was the real deal.

Really excellent cigars and even better coffee.

Being 50% Cuban (My father was born grew up in Cuba and left when Castro went first into power, he was about 16 at the time), and living in America, the first thing that people ever say to me when I thell them that I am Cuban is, "You got Cigars?"

It get's old.

When I went there was a fellow who sold wooden boxes of Romeo and Juliet for 20$us a box. I was sceptical but he insisted I smoked one before I bought any. They were real, i brought them home and sold an entire box for 5$ canadian a cigar, which is less than 1/3 of the stand price for the cigars i had in canada (about 16$ a peice). Quite a tidy profit that was.

Cuban Montecristos, Cohibas, Partagas and Hoyo
de Monterrey are excellent.

If your in the states you want to stick close to the
dominican Montecristos, Avos, and maybe Romeo y
Julieta vintage and nicaraguan Padron Anniversarios
and if you are willing to pay the price Davidoff(but be
ready for a BIG cigar). A, Fuentes dominican lines
Ashton(better), Por Larranaga(good) and Bauza(not
bad) are exceptable, as is Macanudo vintage,
Partagas vintage, Zino Mouton-Cadet; OK are the
honduran premium blends Hoyo de Monterrey
Excalibur and Punch Grand Cru.


-----------
cheap cigars = government poisoning the masses!

I'm not a big cigar smoker. I'm a small cigar smoker.
But, unlike a former president, whom I respect, I did
inhale. How can you smoke something and not inhale?
(pandora's box statement...sorry)
Anyway, if you don't smoke, good for you.
If you do, enjoy it too.
As for myself, I smoke those conspiritorial cigarettes.
As well as the occasional bowl.
God have mercy on my soul.
Not to mention my lungs.

Wearing feelings on our faces when our faces took a rest...
