Gurkha Park Avenue – First Impression
First I must thank Cigars Direct for sending me this cigar in their care package. As the name implies, this is the first Park Avenue I have smoked, hence “First impression.” The band doesn’t have the word Gurkha anywhere on it. Instead it has the company owners name, “Khansotia & Co.” Intrigued by this cheap [...]

They think that the Cuban cigar industry is in some sort of time warp.

Not My New York
What happened to New York? When I was a kid growing up in Connecticut, New York City was always the big, mysterious place with a little Wild West thrown in. It had a reckless side, a rebellious side and a seedy side.

The Fact of the Matter
People in the Cuban cigar industry were not pleased with recent reports in the foreign press on the reduction of this year's tobacco plantings. Among others, Reuters reported that the plantings of tobacco on the island was being cut by 30 percent, which would mean a 16 percent reduction in the tobacco harvest.
