Some say Habanos will not sell there tobacco leafs to competing NC manufacturers which sounds reasonable , so they will have to compete with there own tobacco which explains the move of some manufacturers trying to discover the European and Asian markets . Whats your opinion?

I am in need of someone to construct my own cigar. PM me for details.

I notice more and more that many of the most well known cigar manufacturers (as well as some of the small ones) are family owned and run businesses. I personally think this great. I would love the opportunity to work with my children in a family business when they get older. I often wonder...

Not really a joke, but I thought it was funny (not the drugs part, but the ideas they came up with). See link for high res pics. http://www.dea.gov/pubs/states/newsrel/sanfran031606.html
