Now, who's broke, again? Hell, they probably give them to him or he strong-arms them out of a box or two, har! Looked online, most expensive Ghurkas I saw were the The Royal Reserve sticks, cheap @ $25 a pop. Of course, El Cheapo Delux Cigars, Inc. online shop won't handle the fine, pricey stuff... Me? I'm happy with a Drew Estate's Acid Blondie--not your typical RD Dun 5 for a buck @ the beer store, oh, no...

The thing is that most cigar smokers will tell you that there is not a whole helluva lot of difference between a $15 stick and $100 stick.

Recently while in the Caribbean I bought some decent Cubans. They were good. But at $60, I did not enjoy them as much as the Padron’s get here.

To each his own I guess. These days I can afford $8 Hauptmanns.

I am not nor have every been a slick willy fan.

However, in this case, good for him.

When you have the big bucks enjoy what you like. For me, I like Magners Irish Apple Cider. Costs me about $5 a bottle, but I enjoy a great cold one.

And it will be fun to tell the next lib berating me for enjoying my over priced cider that they are funding BJ Clinton's cigars.

It’s not so much the actual cost of the cigars but amortizing the hourly rate of the humidors.

As a fan of premium cigars I can say this is total BS. Nobody smokes $1,000.00 cigars. You might pay a $1,000.00 for a whole box but not one.

Probably supplied to him by his Global Initiative. Claimed as a business expense. The Clintons have never paid for anything out of their own pockets.

"Bill Clinton enjoys a Gurkha cigar, "the Rolls Royce of the cigar industry." "The cigars are close to $1,000 each," says the cigar boss."

That seems right in character for BJ.

Who does he use for a humidor these days?

As I was saying, when Dubya did the icebucket challenge and challenged Bubba, give him credit for going right to the one living ex-president most in need of a cold shower.
