My latest "Rare Find" it is a Vegas Robania 1845 (R) Havana.

Amazingly, it goes for 10.00 a stick - that is if you can find it. The local shop owner give me 6 to try....

Can anyone believe how lucky I am???

Regards,

I can't believe he's giving you 5 and me 1! What a guy! You're not too bad yourself!

Man, those are some of the nicest looking wrappers I have seen in a long time. Nice and cocoa brown.

Very nice catch. My tobacco shop owner has given me a number of cigars to try, but not that nice or that many.

don't know what they are or it they really are a rare find? but assuming they are rare, one can only imagine what you had to do (or will have to do) to get 5?

Top of the Morning to you:

A suggestion, conduct simple research before posting something like this "don't know what they are or it (if) they really are a rare find?"

Try using a search engine to locate the cigar. My personal preference is Google. Find the cigar and check for availability, Manufactures Suggested Retail Price(MSRP), actual cost, and product reviews. I don't put a lot of faith in the review because everyone has their own opinion.

Your next comment, "one can only imagine what you had to do (or will have to do) to get 5".

Hmmm, I don't know what you are trying to insinuate but I don't find this comment favorable. However, since the Internet is a one-way communication medium. I am asking you to clarify.

It is my nature to give you the benefit of the doubt and "assume" that your intent with this note was not inflammatory. As a trained combatant of three wars, which I only survived by the grace of God, it is also in my nature to seek and destroy - Your Choice!

Regards,

Rumor is it had something to do with a monkey, a negligee and a trampoline. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Feeling a little sensitive? Perhaps, a chill pill is in order? Nothing meant by the comment or insinuation --- just a very bad attempt at some levity.

I took your advice (using Google for the first time ---will use it again --- thanks) and did a search on the Vegas Robaina (not Robania)1845. Notably, it is a Cuban cigar, so either your local shop and you are outside the boundaries of the US and/or the cigars you were given are of non-cuban origin. As I really don't care which it is, it sounds to me like you really are extremely lucky and are about to enjoy some great smokes.

By the way, which wars? In country? Maybe we can swap some stories.

Justforfun, he's lulling you in to a false sense of security! Don't buy it... He's gonna offer a truce package and ask for your address. Next thing you know? HALO, that's right, High Altitude Low Open jump. He lands on your roof, but unlike Santa, he aint bringing any presents! Ever see that movie with Arnold? Eraser? Before you know it "you've been erased". Very dangerous indeed...
