Tobacconist++;

My favorite HoM scent for cold weather. Cognac and Cuban cigars is a real-life dream for me. Cuban cigars are banned for sale in the US. There’s a black market here, but I don’t know how to reach it. I manage to make-do with Cognac (or Armagnac) and non-Cuban cigars, though :)

I had a brief phase where I smoked Cuban cigars, but stopped about 20 years ago. Tobacconist still smells glorious to me :)

Did you get a few Cuban cigars in the brief window when sanctions got lessened during Obama?

  No, I missed out. I can have my son bring me a few from Paris, or I can pick some up when I visit him. It’s a bit of a bucket-list thing, but I suspect that when I have one, I’ll think, “Oh, it’s a cigar!”

    Exactly 🤣
    
    But it’s going to be nice to combine this with a visit in Paris!

    Yes! Still trying to work that out, but I’ll let you know when I cross the pond😀
