right, I got my box, very quickly, today of the torpedo flor de oliva maduro. These are suppose to be 6 x 52, but even as a box press, I think they were very liberal giving it this 52 guage, almost like a torpedo corona. Then there was this astounding new warning on the box, the first time I have seen it, it read, "Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes". Says who? Who the hell is making cigar companies put this propaganda on the box?! Is this a left over from the Clinton tobacco bashing? I think it is atrocious. I will email CI and see if they know anything. Thank God Bush and sympathetic tabacco people are in the white house now, for if Unkle Bill's choice was there, it wouldn't have been long before buying cigars over the internet would have been history, as well as walk-in humidors at the tobacconist, both were recently under serious consideration to be outlawed, as you may know from Cigar Aficianado (not to mention in the least higher taxes on cigars). Anyway my main point is the warning label, the rest can be written off as a procduct of a disordered mind.
