I started smoking cigars in 1980 after I had quit smoking cigarettes. This was before the cigar craze had hit the counyry. My favorite cigars were about $2-$5 each. My favorite brand was Arturo Fuente. Fuente cigars doubled in price and doubled again and became scarce. La Gloria Cubana became impossible to find. I used to enjoy sitting in the backyard with a glass of Port or scotch and smoking a cigar.
