Stellar Stogies: Montecristo 2008-07-10 05:26:06 If you tend to smoke mostly Cuban cigars as I do, it’s practically impossible that you haven’t smoked a Montecristo. Montecristo cigars are the most popular Havana cigar, and account for 50% of the Havana’s yearly cigar export. If you like Cubans, not having smoked a Montecristo is like not having seen a John Wayne [...] Read more:Stellar

Stellar Stogies: Romeo y Julieta 2008-07-24 05:10:54 The “Romeo y Julieta
