Give me some names and I can check and see if any shops on the rez has anything you'd like.

! This is cool. What cigars do you enjoy smoking?

I would love to go to Cuba one day. I want to go to a cigar factory, and see how they produce the cigars in mass quantity from start to finish. And then to be able to buy them, smoke 'em, and bring a few boxes home.

LOL.. Wryly is a good friend of mine. We hang out whenever I get back to Toronto (at least a dinner in our usual haunt, the Brownstone)

You know, you can do cigar factory tours in DR and other South American places. And I think there's one (the last one) still in Florida.

Linus,

I had no idea about you and Wryly. I am so happy for you guys! Where is the tobacco plant in Florida? I would love to go there.

I went to the Dom. Rep. about...12 or more yo with my adopted sister. Back then you had to stay within the resort. It was very unsafe. However, I did bring home some nice stoagies from the resort. The golf course was beautiful, and that is where I ended up making my purchase. Just a great great time. Long flight

, but well worth it.

J.C. Newman (makers of Diamond Crown Maximus -- one of my favs) is based out of Tampa, Florida. They are the last (over 110 years). Not sure if they still allows tours or what.

Andrew, Jr. · 12-10-2009, 04:05 PM

JC Newman's...for some reason that sounds familiar. Let me go look at my notes. Be right back.

Linus,

It is a very small world. They are not doing tours any longer. However, they have a museum on the 2nd floor of their office in Tampa.

In the Dom. Republic - that is pretty much a no no for tours. And the cigars I bought, I got A. Fuente's. I think I may have gotten 2nd's, but they were still good. I am not complaining. From my notes, the cigars were all thumbs up. According to what I wrote down, there was a huge political debate going on over the taxes & laws between the US and Dom. Republic, and the shipping issues. I am going to find their website, and see if it is any different now.

I love talking stoagies. For me, it is like

Andrew -
I've known Linus for 4 or 5 years, I think. Waaay back when hy first came out. We met on a different site, PMed back and forth and then met up - been buds ever since. When hy lived in Toronto we'd try to get together and do dinner, PRIDE events, etc. Then hy had to go and get a life and all! the nerve!

I'd love to go to Cuba too - someday.

I'll keep a lookout!

Andrew - I was reading an article online (I forget where) and it was about a place that has a school, shop and lounge all in one! You can get cigars chea because you're buying that aren't perfect 'cause they're what the students made. I'll hunt around and see if I can find it.

Andrew, Jr. · 12-10-2009, 06:45 PM

Wryly,

I am looking forward to that info. As for Linus, he is a good soul. I just think the world of him. So now, we can say we're the 3 cigar smokin' mustakeers!

And we will have to plan a trip to Cuba one day. WooHoo!
