My Grandfather smoked Muniemakers. We were all in Connecticut, and this economy priced cigar used good Connecticut wrapper.

My dad sometimes smoked Phillies with the plastic tip until he got lung cancer under 40.

My father-in-law was fond of Rum River Crooks, even going to a ‘factory shop’ two hours away. Mostly chewed them to death. Wouldn’t know what to do with a great cigar. Died of old age and Viagra. Stubborn bastard , would drink just about anything alcoholic. Gave him two fingers of ‘shine, and he sat still in a comfy chair for two full hours. Great conservative would have loved Trump. , moreso than his daughter. Miss the sumbitch, knew him since i was sixteen.

Connecticut valley cigars. Munimakers,were my favorites. My girl friend would send me a box every month when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg [$5.00 for a whole box]. They were worth their weight in gold as my platoon Sgt and company top kick soon developed a taste for them. Needless to say I was exempted from numerous bullshit jobs thanks to Ct. wrapper leaves. A lot of the southern boys could not believe we grew tobacco in Ct, or that I actually worked on a tabbaco farm.
