Hey we can gather around the embers to keep warm! Just smoked a Montecristo a few minutes ago...it's only 6c, but in the sun it felt a lot warmer.

Speaking of cigars . . . where do you buy them? I have an itch for a Bolivar Belicoso Fino. My supply from my last trip to Cuba is long gone.

I am officially out of hibernation now. I brought my car home today.

Thanks, Arnaud. I wonder how badly Customs stomps them on arrival? The prices are as good as I paid in a gov't store in Hoguin. 25 Bolivars BFs are only $207 CAN.

Customs, what Customs? The web site says "Duty Free, 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed". My little finger tells me that this is true...

Duty free shipping out of Spain. Unfortunately, it also says they don't ship to CA - as in Canada . . .

Try the Smoking Cigar on Bayview Ave a block and a half south of Eglinton Ave E., on the east side. Trey is the owner ...

Thanks, Jaak. I'll call him. My wife works at Eg & Mt Pleasant so I am in the area frequently.
