He is one actor on my list of "must meet before I die"

Also, on the show I have heard references to Montecristo as well as Cohiba. Most of the cigars Tony Soprano smokes are not banded. Also, in the opening credits, Tony seems like is smoking a Monte #2.

I really like the CAO Soprano Soldier. It's a great big smoke. Columbian tobacco. Very smooth. Thought i must admit..a bit boutique-ish but a good smoke.

Not sure what exactly they smoke on the show, but the Sopranos line from CAO is an excellent cigar, IMO. I've smoked the Associates and I enjoy them very much. I've read that the Boss line is even more liked than the Associate, but I haven't smoked any of my Bosses yet (I bought a VERY hard to get complete box of 20 from City Cigar in Vancouver, to which I had to FLY down to pick up since it's illegal to ship from province to province), I'm letting them age and settle before I start digging into them

That said, if I ever get a good deal on more Sopranos, I will for SURE be picking them up

I've only had the boss and i found it to be a great smoke. I looked at picking up a box, but at about 250, it was a little rich for my blood. I do like to grab one at my local B&M every now and again though.

Better sit down for this one then. $560 for a box of 20 Soprano Bosses.

I was sitting down and it still took my breath away...holy cow! And here I am worrying about the price of a box of cigars after the SCHIP bill is passed in a couple months. Sorry to hear that bro.

Yep...I got a killer deal on the Tony Soprano's a while back and dropped $50 for six....normally that would be around $90 ($15/stick).

CAO advertises that they smoke exclusively Anniversary Maduros. They didn't start making the CAO Sopranos line until much later down the road

Welcome to Canadian tobacco taxes In the Yukon it's even worse. We don't have any cigar shops up here, but if we did (because I looked into opening one up), the tax is 130% on the wholesale price per cigar. So if I buy a stick for $10 wholesale (shipping has to be included in the wholesale price), the tax is an additional $13. It's ludacris. I've been trying to fight the territorial government for a while on it, because they lowered some restrictions on alcohol, yet they say the reason for a higher tobacco tax is because tobacco abuse affects your health. I keep trying to argue that alcohol affects your health negatively just as badly, if not worse.

Anyways, Canadians pay an arm and a leg for tobacco due to the taxes, and even worse, we have some of worst smoking bans in the world too. I personally am getting pretty pissed off.
