so… we all know that many of the artists won’t give a witch’s brass bra about cigars… how do we sign up to be recipients of the castoffs?

You know, RB, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the left coast smoke Nazis make a stink about this.It’s great for Camacho if some of the nominees are photographed smoking their Honduran treats.
Good for Christian and Dyan. They are personal friends and great peeps.

I’m scrounging to snatch up another box of Camacho Negros before they vanish forever.. I had a cigar shop owner tell me that they didn’t exist; “oh, I have the band right here in my wallet…” He was all over me like a cheap suit; I think that he thought I was a shoplifter… No big, his humidor smelled like mold.

I sure hope they know how to take of their cigars, I’m trying not to think about how many people don’t.
