OH Osthaus nailed it... wishful thinking on my part Daryl.

That's a really nice on you have there Daryl. I'll bet you'll keep it for a long time after you shoot the first few rounds.

Thanks for the memories Dave. My grandfather always had a De Nobili hanging from his mouth but he never smoked it... he just chewed on it for hours. I would love to find an image of a pack of De Nobili cigars and post it but it would take me days.

ps; Thanks again for the help over on the Fox site.

Thanks Dave
I have often seen that box but never partaken. Around my Connecticut River Valley, if I am smoking a cigar, my farmer friends want to know where the binder, wrapper and filler are from and it better be Connecticut Broadleaf, Connecticut Shade or all of the above.
We grow it and send most to the DR to be stored and rolled there.
There is a local brand- Topstone/Topper in New Haven that uses Broadleaf for all 3- wrapper/binder/filler.
I will try to find some Parodi's.

Darryl, just looked it up. That gun is only worth $350 in excellent condition. I'll give you $400.

Parodi's!! A blast from the past!! I enjoyed cigars for years. I must say though that I only ever smoked 1 Parodi. There was a reason for that!! Tasted like I was smoking a two week dead possum!! Don't ask how I know what a two week dead possum tastes like. It's a long story!!

Seeing as how I only paid $125, $400 sounds real good Mike.

Dave - I grew up in Delaware, and those Parodis were known as "Guinea Stinkers"
