the Pink (Island Smoke Shop) Plaza is a must stop on the way to KW

Obviously, go to Bill's shop. I had the El Original before my pallette was ready to experience it, I think... I keep meaning to revisit them. I bet I'd love em now... back then I though maduro = strong and I stayed away from them.

As far as places in Key West, I went to a place called Sunset Cigars facing the water (in the Mallory Square area)... huge shop with many options and a guy in the window rolling smokes. Go buy one of his coronas... trust me... it is definitely worth the $6 it'll cost you. I kicked myself for a couple months for only getting 1... it was a GREAT smoke.

A lot of people will be selling "cubans" down there, too. Be careful of that.



Have fun and make sure to rent a scooter... $60 for a day of whipping around the streets of KW is worth it... WAY too much fun!

The El Original maduros are excellent. shilala sent me some a little while back.

They're the bomb.

I saw that they expanded/moved. I can't wait to see the new digs.
I'll have to slap together a bomb for the old boy.

Thanks!

Back from vacation/meeting banter! Had a nice visit with Bill (madurofan) & Bob, the owner, at the Island Smoke Shop, in Key Largo, Fl. on my way to Key West. Gave me some great smokes at a nice discount. The El Original Maduro was great, but the El Original Lancero Claro was awesome! Probably the best natural wrapper I've ever had! Check out their website @ www.islandsmokeshop.com or call & talk to Bill (madurofan) @ 1-800-680-9701. Great cigars & 2 great guys!!!
