I was in the Grand Caymans last year and bought the most legitimate box of Cuban Romeo & Julietta Churchills at a hotel. The box was perfect with the correct stamps and the cigars were perfectly constructed. Half of the cigars were so bad that I couldn't smoke them. I don't smoke very often but when I do I usually purchase dependable brands of Dominican cigars like Davidoff, Arturo Fuente Opus X or the Romeo & Julietta Vintage. The Opus X is very close to being as good as the better Cubans. Wish you were here, we could enjoy a good cigar, some port and talk about photography and Leicas. Have a great weekend. Bob << Bob and Jim, Thanks and I will look up Paul B&W series. I think there is a possiblility to visit Cuba through any Canadian travel agency. It is really a good photo opportunity. Unfortunately the Cohiba's etc. are verrrrry expensive. Lots of fakes offered in the streets, with a smile! Will post the webpage on the LUG. Sander ----------------- >>
