Anybody know of some good tobacconist shops in or around Toronto where I could pick up some Cubans?

I'll be there for a few weeks on business next month and would like to pick up some...

Being a relatively new herfer, I really have no clue what to try in regards to the isoms...

How about it, any advice on favorite embargo-busters you'd like to share?

Thanks!

Be prepared to spend BIG BUCKS. All cigars are expensive in Canada. Cubans are double and triple. Cuban Cohiba Esplendidos were $40 CAN per stick. Now that was in Victoria, so Toronto may be different. I wouldn't expect much difference though.

I was in Toronto a couple years ago and checked out the SOMS. Way too expensive for me. Canda has some of the highest tobacco taxes you can imagine. Even the doggest of the dog rockets are very expensive.

I was up in Toronto area for a week earlier this summer. You gotta REALLY want an ISOM to kick those kinds of prices. I guess I didn't.

I was there two years ago, I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the shop. It was close to the Hockey Hall Of Fame. The sticks there were expensive to a college kid with no money. I could tell you what I was looking at, but it was $17.00 and I wasn't biting. I was a big cigr though 7x50. I know most cubans aren't that big.

Anyways a big turn off are those stickers of the guys gums that are completely rotten away from some tobacco product. They put it on every pack of cigarette and cigars that come in a paper box. It must have been some kind of dog rockets he was smoking.

Remember kids STAY AWAY FROM THE DOG ROCKETS!
