Cigars on Sale and in the News
Monday November 13, 2006
- An attempt to roll the longest cigar in the world will be made in Ybor City during Tampa's annual Cigar Heritage Festival on Saturday, November 18. According to tbo.com, the co-owner of a local Tampa cigar store is planning to construct a cigar that is 101 feet long, using $5,000 worth of tobacco (also making it the most expensive cigar in the world). I think that I may have to drive up to Tampa this weekend and see this one for myself.
- Thompson Cigar is offering 50 cigars with an aluminum travel case for only $39, until 2/28/07. For other special deals on cigars, visit our Cigar Bargain Hunter.
- CAO was the exclusive cigar sponsor to the 31st Annual National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) Convention held on October 20-21. President George W. Bush made an appearance at the pre-show gala on October 20, featuring Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, which continued a three-decade tradition of every U.S. president attending the Foundation’s gala weekend. CAO Chief Financial Officer Adam Shepard presented Italy’s Ambassador to the United States, Giovanni Castellaneta, with a personally inscribed CAO Italia Humidor containing 100 CAO Italia Gondola cigars. In attendance were Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, Jr., Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, baseball greats Yogi Berra and Tommy Lasorda, actor Alan Alda, actress Anne Hathaway, and singer Jerry Vale.
