Thanksgiving Day Cigars

Thursday November 19, 2009

Thanksgiving in the U.S. is November 26, 2009. This is the day to give thanks for all of your blessings, and a day to enjoy your biggest meal of the year. Having a cigar for dessert, together with an appropriate libation, can help you relax and digest all that great food. In addition to the cigars on our lists of patriotic cigars and flavored cigars, here are a few more recommendations for those of you who prefer a more robust blend to accompany that glass of scotch or port (or even a cup of strong coffee or cappuccino) after a large Thanksgiving Day dinner:

JFK and Cuban Cigars

Tuesday November 17, 2009

We are coming up on the 46th anniversary of JFK's assassination in Dallas, which occurred on November 22, 1963. Although some of the circumstances surrounding our 35th President's death are still a mystery, there is no mystery about his love for Cuban cigars. Last year, we obtained some inside information about Kennedy's passion for H. Upmann cigars, courtesy of a retired executive from the old Consolidated Cigar Company. If you are interested in U.S. history, presidents, and cigars, read more from Dick DiMeola.

Cuban Cigar and Two Beers for $3

Saturday November 14, 2009

Juggie's Place

Americans are suckers for Cuban cigars, often paying top dollar for phony cigars that are not really Cubans. This can happen anywhere, especially while traveling abroad. However, there is at least one place on this planet where you can get two cold beers and one authentic Cuban cigar, all for only $2.99. Sound too good to be true? Well guess what, it isn't! The place is called Juggie's Place, located on the Caribbean island of St. Maartin, in an alley across from Little Switzerland on Front Street.

Juggie's may be the world's smallest bar, but it undoubtedly has the world's greatest deal for drinkers and smokers. Granted a small Quintero is not comparable to a Cohiba Behike, but it is still a genuine Cuban cigar that can provide about 20 minutes of smoking pleasure. Several brands of cold beer are available, including Bud Light in 12-oz cans and Corona in 7-oz bottles. If you can find a better deal than this one, please let us know by posting your comments, below.
