Cigar Induced Insomnia?
bigfunkyg replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Its funny because its true. On an occasion Ill have a smaller cigar (PC or half corona) and maybe 1 or 2 beverages to go with and I'm wide awake and can't sleep. My normal is to have a larger cigar (Pyrimide, Churchill) with 3+ scotches and I sleep like a baby. -
Tobacco in Hawaii
bigfunkyg replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Kauai is my Hawaiian island of choice. Ill be there again this coming winter. As for the cigars I have tried the Kauai Cigar Company selections on a few occasions but have never been impressed. I believed the were the Island Prince series but I will seek out the Hawaiian Vintage on this trip. I tend to bring my own "unbanded" selection with me when I travel. As for the coffee, the Kauai Coffee is very good. It's generally available at most Costco's and although it isn't what I would call a dark roast its a very nice everyday coffee. Interesting to note in the article where i -

Ditto on the Dip #4. They were discontinued around the time I was starting to get serious about CC's and I managed to get my hands on two boxes. -
End of Year trip to Cuba Question

I'll throw in another vote for Turks & Caicos. Best beaches I have seen and the restaurants along the ocean are fantastic. I went there with a group of family and kids and thought to myself that this would be a place I would come back to with just the wife if I had the opportunity. -
I don't recall seeing much in the way in the duty free shops there either. The Providenciales airport is a very small airport. I remember getting a bottle of Zacapa XO from duty free there but didn't see anything in regards to cigars. Definitely bring you own and maybe you get lucky finding something.

I wouldn't go with much expectations of bringing home a huge haul. I was there in 2014 and stayed in the Grace Bay / Providenciales area. There were a few shops who had some stand-up humidors with some Cuban standards. Didn't inspect closely enough to determine if they were legit or not. There was a small place on Grace Bay road with their own local brand. I had sampled and I don't recall it being anything to get excited about. Defiantly bring your own supply for smoking during the trip. Wonderful place, probably the most amazing beaches and turquoise water I have ever seen in my
