Cuban cigars!

[Richard K]

Just got back from touring western New York, central and western Pennsylvania.
While on the Canadian side of Niagra I spotted a cigar shop.
Since there was no place to park I dropped my wife off to get me a single, small Cuban Macanuto while I drove around the block. She came back with a Macanuto Cohiba for $67.00 US.
It was good but it was NOT $67 good. Lesson learned.

Yeah, that sucks. I get Cubans sometimes, but always at Overseas airports. Way cheaper.

Whoa!
I've had a few good Cubans in my day... I remember in Seoul getting a Cohiba and a glass of The MacCallan for about 60,000 KRW...
Couldn't manage to bring myself to submit it on the expense account...

[Richard K]

In the past I've gotten them on cruise ships but never that expensive. Should have gone to the duty-free shop.

I used to spend a couple months a year in South and Central America fighting the drug war. Always had a nice Montecristo, R&J or Punch to burn. Back then you could get a box of Turbos or Churchills for $75. If I wanted to slum I would get a box of Cohiba #4s.

Add in a 4 litre bottle of Cuervo for $20 and you had a party.

Ahh the good old bad days.

Cubans are way overrated. If they were legal in the States they would be rated much lower. But to each his/her own.

At least you paid that much for something that is reasonably difficult to come across at home. We made the mistake of ordering drinks at a club in Vegas. 2 rum and coke doubles, 1 vodka redbull, and 1 water was $73. That club sucked too.

You got suckered at a tourist shop. I've never paid over $20 for Cohibas, R&Js, or Churchills. Cases are less than $400.

We were at the Intercontinental - A beer was 12,000 KRW.

Wow . . . combining the world's best cigars with arguably one of the world's worst rotgut mixto "tequilas" blows my mind. I'm guessing you were in your early twenties when you perpetrated this act?
