I was fortunate enuff to attend the 50th CA Big Smoke 6 April '00 in NO w/my wife. We had a blast. Good conversation, Good food, Good drinks, Great band and dancing, and oh yeah they passed out smokes and smokes. The next day my wife tells me we have go over to this store she found when she was there for a national school teacher convention. You guessed it same store. It is located just down the street from the Mariott heading towards Cafe du Monds and Jackson Square. After leaving a few coins, we left w/a variety of their cigars and great looking t-shirt. The Tres Hermanos is a nice strong smoke. I got to talking w/the shop manager, and he informed me that Carlitos Fuente had been in their the previous day as some of the cigar rollers had previously worked for his dad.
anyway, go to this web site and look down for the info posted below. they do ship.
