Good new/bad news. There and back, but not a lot of time to shop. First of all, if you go and stay in the high rise area, don't go to the cigar shops there. Prices are twice what they are in Oranjestad and it's only a $11 cab ride.

Too many functions and company stuff to get away, but did buy a few cc's and all were green and moist. Customs was kind of a joke. Agent asks if we have tobacco products and wife says no, I say yes. "I brought cigars with me and am taking some home". "More than a carton?". No, no search , end of story.

I didn't get to Cigar Emporium, but the small shops in town where reasonable. As I said, easily half the price of shops across from hotels.

And, yes. Both the wife and I hit the casino good this time. Paid for all our breakfast and lunch, cabs, gifts etc. Still put near double what cash we took out of bank back in.

Only down side is I didn't find any place that sold Aruban cigars. If any one has one I'd be glad to trade.

are you surprised about the smokes ?

order them on line and take the with you....

Wheel, you're right about prices. But, one of the folks in wife's Texas branch is going to send me a bottle of Dripping Springs.

By the way, you're not such a grump, just a dirty old man.

Cool !

you'll love the Vodka !

and I'm not old !!

OK, you're not old, short or bald like all your friends say. To me me you're just a cool dude that likes hot chicks and isn't afraid to say it. Some of your other comments may be uh, but I can live with that

Bro ?

I am really not old and short ....

the grower has a web site so I'll look into ordering some. probably wind up costing more than cc's
