For those of you who didn't know, I've been in the Dominican Republic this week. A little business, a little fun. I had the pleasure of touring the Aurora factory at the Leon Jimenez center and the Charles Fairmorn factory in Santiago and have loads of pictures to share.
I thought you guys would get a kick out of these cigars that were being sold at the beach the other day:

Cool! Try to enjoy yourself, that looks like one rough business trip:smiley2:
Please....Please....Please send me some of those glass-top Cohibas.:smiley20:
Eww... I had to smack one my companions who wanted to take a box back home.. I'm glad I had my camera.
You just want to auction it off! :smiley2:Quote:

cool pic Hex. Incidentally, I can vouch for there being something very nice and worth waiting for when you get back.
Awesome. I hope I can convince my wife to take a trip there some day.
You'll have to tell more about the place when you get back. Have fun
Awesome. I hear they have some alright smokes out there.
Alright smokes? :smiley36: Leon Jimenez makes some of the best smokes in the world including La Aurora:smiley1: :smiley20:Quote:

Hurry back, Miguel - the place is going down the crapper since you left... It's so bad, Shag and CC have not been posting... :smiley40:
A few Ashton Aged Maduros please. I bid $9.00 on the box.

Just got home, safe and sound. What a day from hell. American Airlines can :smiley38:
We get to Miami and have a 2 hour layover to catch a connecting flight to Jacksonville. We have to wait over an hour for our luggage to come out, so we can go through customs and recheck it. We make it through with 15 minutes or so to spare, run half way across the airport, and make our flight just in time. Guess what wasn't waiting for us in Jacksonville? They claim to be delivering our luggage to us tommorrow... lets see what happens.
I bid a dollar two ninety on the Glass Top Cohibas. :smiley37:
I didn't buy the glass top cohibas!
Which is a good thing, because I did get pulled in customs, and the guy saw my Leon Jimenez, and was like "thats not a Cuban right?"
Welcome home to you and hopefully your luggage!
Welcome back Hex

Welcome back, Miguel - the fort is still standing - but just barely... :smiley37:
