    La Gloria Cubana, Series R

    Thanks Road Dog,
    This will give me something to go by. I live in a small town and we have a grocery store that carries a wide variety of cigars, at least this way I can go in with some names so that I might not look like such a flunky.
    Happy New Year

    I can't imagine that a small town grocery store would have much more than Swisher Sweet, Crooks, Roi Tan or Dutch cigars. Mostly Machine made and lacking.

    If you have the time to order them on line, try FamousCigars, JRCigars or ThompsonCigars. They have a better variety; they are less expensive.

    Might even have gift certificates, so the person you are buying for can make his or her own choice.

    And....if this is someone you are romantically inclined towards, nothing is sexier than having a beautiful girl trim, light and present that cigar to them.

    By the way, I had cigars given to me by several people at Christmas, and, while I wouldn't have personally picked out any of the brands they got me, I loved that they thought to get them for me.

    Well Road Dog for your information the owner of the grocery store happens to enjoy a "Good" cigar himself so therefore he sells them to keep his supply in stock. LOL They even had your favorite, just incase you are ever in podunk town Missouri! I got him your favorite for $4.99 (not sure if that is a bargin) and then the owner's favorite but I got the lighter wrapped one because he said that not all men like the darker wrapped cigars. Thanks for your help I appreciate it!!

    And the funny thing this cigar is not for someone that I am romantically invovled with, it is for a man that my mother had begun seeing....and I had to make sure that you weren't from Missouri because he looks a lot like you! He rides a Goldwing and I don't hold that against him as hubbie and I are Harley riders! ;)

    Arturo Fuentes makes a very good line of cigars. They are moderately expensive but very consistent. Your best bet is to go to a local cigar store, one that has a walk in humidor, and ask the manager for recomendations.

    Great choices Dog! My faves are Romeo Y Julieta Exhibicion No.2 and Montecristo Sublimes. Even us ladies like to smoke a great cigar once in a while.

    When I used to smoke, hubby smoked cigars and this same one was my fav. I would have one or two a month. I often wonder if I could get away with smoking a cigar and then not want to smoke cigs anymore. It's been 2 1/2 years, not sure I want to risk it.

    I am right there with you.... and I feel like quite a hypocrit with this gift. As I despise smoking, since it took my dad's life. But it is for a person that I know absolutely nothing about other than he does smoke a cigar. I really wanted it to be a gift that he would use and really appreciate and that is about all I could come up with. I thought about the standard generic HIckory Farms summer sausage and cheese gift but I know he got a deer this year and processes his own. So that is out. We live in a very rural community so gift cards for food chains were out. Very limited with my gift choice, so I bit the bullet and am just going to be a hyprocrit with this gift.
    Actually thinking about signing my hubbies name to the tag so that I don't have to feel as guilty! ;)
