Famous sells Leon Jiminez from the Republica Dominicana.  Decent
smokes when you can get them on sale, which you can if you see the
Famous Flyer underneath your "nerdles" in your last shipment from
them.  But try to buy them from the website and they are too
expensive.

Jose' Jimenez on the other hand are not too expensive and received
rave reviews from the left coast contingent just before the snafu
which Tony alluded to.  Lets hope that they can fill those back orders
soon.

Buy cigars from Tony because Bertha wants a fur coat and a Chuck
Mangione record!
Seems like every A**hole has a webpage now.
