I am in minesota working with the BP and I am thinking to go to canada on one of my days off. I am planning to buy some ISOM's. Any sugestions out there? Thank's in advance Fellow Smokers

Being a young cigar novice, I've only had two ISOMs so far (I've got about 6 or 7 sitting in my humi, but they look so pretty laying in there that I'm always reluctant to smoke them)

The Cohiba Siglo III is about a corona size and is a great smoke, very VERY full-bodied, but never harsh or bitter, always smooth and creamy. I believe most of the Siglo series is available in little cardboard 3-packs that have big, ugly Surgeon General-style warnings on them.

The San Cristobal de la Habana in the El Morro size is another good smoke. It's more of a medium-flavor, and might be a little tight. Mine had a plug near the tip, but I just massaged between my thumb and forefinger and it loosened up and the draw improved considerably.

the one and only cigar that everyone likes to some degree and no one dislikes, is a monte cristo #2.

it's on the mild side, it can be counted on to be consistant. it will run beteen $10.00 and $15.00 in canada.

All I will say ... is be prepared to take out a second mortage on your home to pay for them ...

... the tobacco taxes are about 126% (or somewhere close to it), if I am not mistaken ...

Try $15 to $20 US. Buy a few smaller sticks which can Sometimes be 70% to 50% the cost of a smoke an inch longer.

Cohiba Siglo VI in Vancouver C$54.00/each.

Good luck

Man, sounds like Canadian tobacco tax is a total buttrape!

Well, I guess that's the price you have to pay to get free healthcare there.

I was thinking about buying a box but with those taxes I think I only buy two so that I can say I try them and save the rest of my money to bid here. I am not going to maintain d--n Canadians.

You will pay top dollar for the Montecristo, Cohiba, etc etc. I was enjoying the tissue wrapped Fonseca's. I believe it was a petite corona. They were about $5 Canadian apiece.
