Quote of the Day

"The cigars I smoked in Seville were my first since I was in Cuba … 15 years ago. Strange, all the egalitarian advances in that decade and a half (first names all round, the slow death of the tie, affordable restaurants ...) and yet, thanks to the US trade boycott, the Cuban cigar continues to burn brightly as the plutocrat's prop of choice."

Columnist Robert Crampton waxing lyrical in The Times, London, about great Cuban cigars.
