Celebrate May 5 with Mexican and Dominican Cigars

Friday April 27, 2007
May 5th may always be Cinco de Mayo, but it is also Kentucky Derby Day in 2007. If you are a race fan, you may be tempted to smoke a Dominican cigar instead of a Mexican cigar, especially since a horse named "Dominican" is running in the Derby this year. However, you do not really have to sacrifice celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Mexican cigars if watching the Kentucky Derby, because the number one selling premium cigar in the United States is made in the Dominican Republic, but also contains some Mexican tobacco. Yes, the cigar to satisfy everyone on May 5th has to be the Macanudo, a mild smoke recommended for beginners and enjoyed by connoisseurs, but also light enough for female cigar smokers, too. Pick some up now and be prepared to party along with lots of Mexican beer and tequila, while watching the Kentucky Derby.


If you are looking for an authentic Mexican cigar, made in Mexico with all Mexican tobaccos, I recommend the Te Amo.

Thanks for the hot tip. I’m betting $10 on Dominican to win the Kentucky Derby on May 5.
