At least they are not sold over the counter to a normal person like me. Making the best of it I am studying the locally available cigars again. After spending 8 years in Chicago you can imagine that I am not a novice to non-Cuban smokes, but after three years in Geneva I had to brush up on my inventory.<br \/>\nI still like the Padrons which are really a great deal, as well as the CAO Brazil cigars which are a bit more flavorful. But there are also some new ones which had not tried. Right now for example I am sucking on a wonderful cigar from Alec Bradley (Vice Press). This is really as good as it gets, flavorful, a big gauge, which I do like when I have the time.
