Heh . . . I accidentally posted this in the Cigars & Related section. . . .

Hello, It's my first time posting here. Recently I spent three months in Mexico and I brought back some great cigars hand rolled in Coscomantepec. The guy who rolls these cigars is from five generations of cigar rollers. Along time ago they had a cigar factory in Mexico City but it was destroyed in an earth quake. Now Raul Martinez doesn't mass market any of his cigars, he only takes orders and makes them upon request. I have five different sizes and I'd be willing to trade a few of them if anyone has any good offers. I also brought back some hand rolled indiginous cigars from Cuatzalan, but I don't think that's the type most people here would like. . . . Tharms

Here's a copy of the e-mail I sent to SteveS

"Hi there,

What kind of information do you want on the cigars? They are box pressed, I don't know the ring sizes but I can give you the lengths in inches. The NPU is 7 1/2 " long, the 165 Reserve is 6 1/2" long, the 130 Reserve is 5" long, and then the Cetros Extras and Perlitas are both 5" long but they are both Cigarillos/Puritas (small ring size). All of the cigars are from whole leaf tobacco except for the Perlitas which are made from cuttings. Although the Perlitas are made from cuttings they are still a wonderful smoke. Raul Martinez uses three different tobaccos in each cigar. He has sold many to Charles Degaul in France and has newspaper articles in his house showing famous people giving praise to his cigars. I know of a place in the Portales in Cordoba Mexico where they sell these, but they only have them becuase Raul frequently visits Cordoba (it's an hour from Coscomantepec), usually they are produced by request.

If I can get any other info for you let me know,

Eric Jorgenson"

I can take some pics with my digital camera and send them over e-mail.
