Swishers- Nasty.

Most Cubans have gone so downhill, I wouldn't be surprised if the counterfeits are actually better. Just give me a C.A.O. Brazilia and I'm happy.

My choice of smokes since 1955, when I was 6. Mmmmmmm, bubble gum.

A box of 25 for $6 and change, about the same cost to me as a CAO.

I Like Hinduran Mach's, boring I know but that's what I like.

CAO's and other premium NC's are uniformly tasty. Emphasis on uniform. It's like fishing in fresh water vs the ocean. You never know what the ocean's going to give up. The lake is pretty predictable. If you want to try out a very nice NC I recommend AVO Domaine or Graycliff Crystal ( the Crystal Taco is a nice PC).

Why not just wrap a banana leaf around some Beech-Nut?

Here in Louisiana it gets a little tough to roll your own cigarettes during hurricane season, at which time I fall back on these....

Who'd have thought, bootlegging a legal product.

Ahhhh, I encounterd a guy smoking those at Yosemite a few years back.

They smelled so pleasant I stopped him and asked what they were. In the course of our conversation he was surprised to find that I was (and still am) a non-smoker, and why did I care?

Because I usually find cigar smoke revolting, and this was rather nice...

C.A.O.'s are alittle strong for me. I like Arturo Fuente Lonsdales in a maduro leaf, myself. Nice heavy greasy smoke!

I remember getting those because they looked like the ones Clint Eastwood smoked in the westerns.
