Excellent choices...not many people know the Florida brands. If you notice in the bottom right of the walk-in picture is a box of RyJ Vintage IV.

 KICKBOXER !  Man that's wild .... a man of many talents ... huh ?  Exceptional piece . I'll bet eyes bug when you open that baby up when guests come over ! Did you ever get to the Keys ... I bought a few hand rolled there .... asked the girl if she'd roll a few between her thighs .... LOL  You should have seen the line to get them ... a tanned cuban girl in a thong doin them ... if you bought her cigars ... she'd sit on your lap for a picture .... they could have tasted like crap ... no one cared . But they were darn good . Wife got p*ssed ... but who cares . Going down for the Fantasy Fest this year ... already got my invitation ... sister in law lives there. The women only wear paint .... no chlothes ! Of course I'm only going for the cigars ...... Wink

Steel, Thank you.. I am more a collector than smoker.

Merc, I haven't been to the Keys in a long time. I have smoked a few of the "freshly rolled", but they are actually supposed to age for at least 3 months after rolling to let the tobaccos blend. However, freshly rolled on tanned thighs...would HAVE to try that.
Fantasy Fest sounds like a real kick. Only paint... interesting concept.

The one with the Texas Star is a table top humidor. A guy in Gouldbusk, Texas built it for me. Man, did he have a spread... 600 acres on the Colorado right outside of Gouldbusk, some of the most beautiful hunting land you have ever seen. More deer than I have ever seen in my life. Turkeys everywhere. He and his wife split up and I have not heard from him in 9 years... he just "disappeared". He made furniture out of wood he harvested and processed off his land. Had a 40000sqft shop. It is a shame what can happen to a man when a woman does him wrong.

He went into town with his "crew" to deliver some furniture they had finished and when he got home, found a note saying she was gone, don't try to find her, the divorce papers would be delivered.  He didn't even know she wasn't happy.  A friend and I went out and stayed a week with him, but I could tell he was on the ropes.  Have not heard from him since.  Phone was cut off the week after I got home.  I have tried to locate him, time to time, but no luck.  Very sad.

Too bad, they probably didn't smoke cigars...
remember "A woman is just a woman, but a cigar is a SMOKE!!!" Some famous person said that... can't remember off the top of my head who.

Kipling...yes, from The Betrothed

Open the old cigar-box, get me a Cuba stout,
For things are running crossways, and Maggie and I are out.

We quarrelled about Havanas -- we fought o'er a good cheroot,
And I knew she is exacting, and she says I am a brute.

Open the old cigar-box -- let me consider a space;
In the soft blue veil of the vapour musing on Maggie's face.

Maggie is pretty to look at -- Maggie's a loving lass,
But the prettiest cheeks must wrinkle, the truest of loves must pass.

There's peace in a Larranaga, there's calm in a Henry Clay;
But the best cigar in an hour is finished and thrown away --

Thrown away for another as perfect and ripe and brown --
But I could not throw away Maggie for fear o' the talk o' the town!

Maggie, my wife at fifty -- grey and dour and old --
With never another Maggie to purchase for love or gold!

And the light of Days that have Been the dark of the Days that Are,
And Love's torch stinking and stale, like the butt of a dead cigar --

The butt of a dead cigar you are bound to keep in your pocket --
With never a new one to light tho' it's charred and black to the socket!

Open the old cigar-box -- let me consider a while.
Here is a mild Manila -- there is a wifely smile.

Which is the better portion -- bondage bought with a ring,
Or a harem of dusky beauties, fifty tied in a string?

Counsellors cunning and silent -- comforters true and tried,
And never a one of the fifty to sneer at a rival bride?

Thought in the early morning, solace in time of woes,
Peace in the hush of the twilight, balm ere my eyelids close,

This will the fifty give me, asking nought in return,
With only a Suttee's passion -- to do their duty and burn.

This will the fifty give me. When they are spent and dead,
Five times other fifties shall be my servants instead.

The furrows of far-off Java, the isles of the Spanish Main,
When they hear my harem is empty will send me my brides again.

I will take no heed to their raiment, nor food for their mouths withal,
So long as the gulls are nesting, so long as the showers fall.

I will scent 'em with best vanilla, with tea will I temper their hides,
And the Moor and the Mormon shall envy who read of the tale of my brides.

For Maggie has written a letter to give me my choice between
The wee little whimpering Love and the great god Nick o' Teen.

And I have been servant of Love for barely a twelvemonth clear,
But I have been Priest of Cabanas a matter of seven year;

And the gloom of my bachelor days is flecked with the cheery light
Of stums that I burned to Friendship and Pleasure and Work and Fight.

And I turn my eyes to the future that Maggie and I must prove,
But the only light on the marshes is the Will-o'-the-Wisp of Love.

Will it see me safe through my journey or leave me bogged in the mire?
Since a puff of tobacco can cloud it, shall I follow the fitful fire?

Open the old cigar-box -- let me consider anew --
Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should abandon you?

A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke;
And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke.

Light me another Cuba -- I hold to my first-sworn vows.
If Maggie will have no rival, I'll have no Maggie for Spouse!
