I've got to hand it to the Colonel, or rather, salute him. Although I often say that whatever cigar YOU think is best is the world's best cigar, even if you like cigars made with doggy doo, nonetheless, the Colonel smokes only the world's most highly approved cigars. And I say that based on what I've seen the average, every day Joe/Jane Cigar Smoker say at various times and on more than one web site.
The two cigars the Colonel named are two of about 20 to 30 different brands, both Cuban and non-Cuban, that hard core, decade after decade cigar smokers consistently refer to as being the most flavorful and satisfying in every way that a cigar smoker could describe.
Well, what else would you expect from a Colonel? And you don't really need a Colonel's salary to afford these, . . .
