    Rob,

    Many Cuban refugees arriving in the US in the early 60s arrived with very little cash, and sometimes only owning a cigar tradename, sometimes this was sold for needed cash, sometimes not. So, yes... their are Punch cigars from Cuba, and from Honduras. Same with Hoya de Monterrey and many other brands. (Punch and Hoya de Monterrey are brands, in the US, of General Cigar, which I believe is now owned by Swedish Match, and are both made in Honduras.)

    I'm always glad to answer questions, so ask away!

    I just picked up a box of the Perdomo Lot 23's belicosos, and they're very nice. I also like the AVO Domaine.

    I was at a tabacconist the other day, and they were launching the new Churchill (the brand/line, not size, obviously) made by Davidoff. I'm curious to try one, but I had already picked up a box, and a few tins of pipe tobacco, so I took a pass.

    Another cigar smoker. Yeaah!!!
    Ghurka G3 Toro Maduro 6x52 is my current brand. I get them from Jr. Cigars. They are the Jr. Alternatives and run about $33 for 20. The only difference between the Jr.s and the real thing is the $ I get to keep in MY pocket. Rocky Patel The Edge, or LaGloria Cubana Serie R #5 Maduro. Jr, Thompson, and Cigar King all have 5 packs you can buy and sample. I guess I'm still looking for that one cigar that will suit me. Sorta like kilts!!!

    Hey guys, I'm not a moderator or anything. But this is way off the topic of kilts AND there's a perfectly good section of The Pub dedicated to tobacco which is just begging for posts.

    http://www.xmarksthepub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=11

    Hope to see you over there.

    Well, yes, it is off topic - that's why it's in the "Off Topic" area.

    Sorry to say, I just don't have time for any more forums to check, so if it wasn't here, I wouldn't see it.

    Just tried that link, "out of order". Frankly I didn;t know the pub existed.

    Maybe he doesn't want to register in yet another forum. This IS the "Off Topic" section! ( incase you didn't notice!)

    Had a couple of Davidoffs last week. Really quite good.
    Have to make another trip to Cuba to get some more Cohibas as well. And rum. And coffee....
