You think Costa Rica, with the ideal climate for growing just about anything, would be a contender in the cigar industry or at least tobacco?

Yes, the climate is decent here to produce, and they do make decent cigars here. I have had over 20 different cigars made in Costa Rica (maybe more) mostly made from Cuban seed. Some of them are decent.

Eventhough my website features only cuban tobacco, I have to say that Nicaraguan tobacco is good,*however not as good as cuban tobacco because of an unique reason; disregarding the quality or emotional situation of the cuban rollers, the quality and characteristics of the soil between Nicaragua and Cuba will never ever be the same, and that´s all it takes for cigar quality.

I have to disagree with you here. Why? The main reason, is the soil in Nica land and more importantly on Ometepe island is unlike any. The soil is extra rich and better than Cuba. In fact, I read a serious article about the cultivation of Oliva's on that island and it was all about the soil. This was about 5 years ago. Nicaragua produces fantastic all around cigars that cater to all smoker. Cuba is awesome as well.

What kind of deal can you make me on the H.Upmann #2?

Oliva series 5's are great. A little heavy but those are very popular here in the States right now. $6 is a great price Gaming Dude, they are more where I go, but granted that's a Cigar Bar.

HM, get in touch, I lost your email.

Usually, you'd think it would be. But Costa Rican cigars are so foul, I can't stand to smoke them.

S&S...perhaps you are right in regards Nica soil, but until history, reviews and tradition make a switch in regards highest tobacco quality, I'll stick with cubans (besides I have to stand up front for my product LoL!!) :103631605
