ISOM suggestions

[ash13brook]

I'm going to Aruba in about a month and found out the LCDH store is only about 2 miles from my hotel. So, I'll be getting my wife situated on the beach each morning and taking a little trip.
I've been through the Review section looking for stuff that sounds good, but a little more advise would be appreciated. I would like to try at least one Cohiba.
I'm looking for medium to full body, probably close to Corona in size.
On another note, does anyone know smoking policies in the casinos down there. I'm pretty sure my wife will be in one every night. I don't gamble, so I'd like to at least be able to smoke cigars while she gambles without having to sit outside(actually, I'd love to sit outside and smoke while she gambles, but, you know, it's vacation with her...).
Thanks for all suggestions.

Be prepared for sticker shock...

It very much depends on how much money you want to spend.

Cohiba - highly recommend the Magicos or Secretos. Also - Behike. I believe the size of the regular Cohiba you're probably looking for would be the Siglo III or IV

Montecristo #4

A very nice cigar - reasonably priced and not too big - the Por Larranaga Petit Corona.

Also Ramon Allones Specially Selected or Small Club Corona

Sancho Panza Non Plus

my absolute faves - the Partagas Serie D No. 4 and the Vegas Robaina Famosos. (Both are Robustos)

Cheap (machine made) but good - Quinteros Brevas or Londres Extra


And they still allow smoking in the casinos. At least last I knew....

Aside from the ones George mentioned above (all excellent choices), I also really enjoy the following:

- Romeo y Julietta Churchill
- Bolivar Royal Corona

If you can find them, you definitely want to try the Partagas Series D No.4

Have a great time!

Hmm-mmm...maybe I should stay longer. Thank God for Amex.

Bolivar Royal Corona! Yessir! There' a nice cigar. Great recommendation
N!

And if they have 'em - try a Bolivar Gold Medal!

Should I take my travel humi to keep them in while I'm there? Or should a zip-lock-type bag that I assume LCdH probably will have take care of them for the short time they last?

Ziplock

No torch on a plane, checked or carry-on - although they keep changing the rules.

Even though you are not supposed to I have always tucked one in a corner of my checked baggage. Never had an issue

Yep -that's my experience as well. But - as a measure of safety, I always take my cheapest torch lighter in case it is confiscated. It won't hurt nearly as bad as losing my more expensive lighters.
