Friends of Habanos, on any forum

[canadianbeaver]

You guys can tell how much we enjoy our cigars and how much I enjoy participating on this forum, right? Another forum or two as well.

Trading cigars is an activity I enjoy occasionally. Last night, for the first time, I smoked a famous custom rolled "Monsdale" cigar. I love love loved it! Today I looked to acquiring some.

A similar friend brought home a bundle from a roller named Jorge. 

Turns out we met Jorge at a cigar store a few years back in Toronto. Blew the guy away with this photo collage. So now we will have cigars from Jorge, but from his home.

Awesome!

Come back to New York City again, and I will give you a monsdale, or an Alex, Reynaldo, Yolanda, or Maria custom roll.

Thanks.  

We will have to find a new deli, as Carnegie has regretfully closed since your last visit

As sacrilegious as this will sound, as a NYer, I've always found the beef at Montreal's Schwartz's to be no match to Carnegie, 2nd Ave Deli, Katz's.

I have been an FOH member for a couple of years now and have always been so intrigued with custom roll cigars. Unfortunately, I have never had one from any of the rollers you mentioned and I'd love to try one. I live in Minneapolis, MN and don't travel much but it seems like I'm going to have to go to Cuba to find these rollers or what do you suggest?

Perhaps I need to start trading my cigars and get to know some of the folks in the trading room. I pray for some guidance and support from my fellow BOTL.

Can either of you two, or anyone of the FOH suggest how to get started on the road to custom Cuban cigars?

I have been to Schwartz's in Montreal, and I thought it was pretty good.  Carnegie was my favorite.  Then 2nd avenue.

 Katz's was/is my least favorite.

Yes.  It is.  Although merchants East closed since I last saw you.
