coocooforroo Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Hello all, it seems like I have found the Holy Grail of cigars and cigar forums. I stumbled upon the sight through chasing links. I believe that Trevor's sight finally lead me in this direction. I have been enjoying cigars for about 10 years now and use a wonderful tobacco shop about 20 miles from my house to pick up my favorite non-cubans. I had the opportunity to visit Cuba this past summer and did so legally which is difficult for a US citizen. I received special permission from the US Treasury dept and a special visa from the Cuban gov. While there, I believe that I only saw one or two people smoking cigars which surprised me. I did have the opportunity to sample several of Cuba's finest and have grown accustomed to them. This week I have been working on the following: Cohiba Espléndidos (just 1, I splurged), a Cuaba Salomónes, a Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas, and a Partagas Série P No. 2 Tubos. These supplemented some of my local favorites. I am actually cigar poor currently, nevertheless, I look forward to spending some money with the Czars. Pupy (By the way, Pupy is a beloved star of salsa music in Cuba)
thechenman Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Welcome to FOH. You are right...this is the Holy Grail of Cuban cigar forums. I envy your trip to Cuba. Hopefully one day I'll get my ass out there...sooner rather than later. You've had some great cigars this week. Just a word of warning...the Czar crew is particularly adept at seperating you from your money. The plus side is that you are at least left with some primo Cuban smokes.
Buch0 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Welcome mate. You will definitely enjoy the Esplendido, full of cream, honey and light syrup.. They are a treasure.
