Where In The World Is Sarah Bandy??? Part 3


CIMG2643Honduras is Known for their high quality tobacco, which are rolled everyday into exquisite top of the line cigars.

Back in the 1960’s granted by the Castro government, a few professional Cuban tobacco growers traveled to Honduras armed with the best Cuban tobacco seeds and assisted the planters on how to improve their trade. 

CIMG2641Today, Honduran cigars are of considered to be of excellent quality and sales are rated second place in the U.S. only after the Dominican Cigars.

A few of the Honduran cigars always makes the list on Cigar Aficionado’s top 100.

A trip here would not be complete without a visit to one of the best cigar stores.

Jose and Maria, owners of La Plazita Cigars were extremely helpful and patient, might I add, In teaching me the do’s and don’t of cigar purchasing.

As I embrace the Cohiba box brand of cigars, Jose is quick to point out that I have great taste, unfortunately, Cohibas are Cuban made and rolled and not allowed to be brought into the United States.

Sorry Guys! I tried.

Of course Maria insisted that I try first hand for myself the difference between a few of the Honduran brands.

Not being a smoker, this sounded crazy to me but as the saying goes: “When in Rome do as the Romans do”.

As Maria packs away my selections, I leave with a wealth of information and a new respect for the industry.

I will never look at another cigar the same way ever again.

Curious as to which ones I purchased??????

You will have to ask me to find out
