I understand why Big Frank likes NOLA

With a cigar store on nearly every block in the quarter, I am guessing Frank that you probably get something custom made for your tastes. I watched a few being rolled by skilled hands doing what they do best.


For me, I picked on something cheap and sweet that I will light when I finish my patio extension. Hopefully that project will be done by late May or early June if I have problems (or if this darned winter doesn't end soon-snowing today again). By then, the cigar will probably be dried out and not good at all. But since it is like christening a boat, it is more for effect than having fine wine by the fire table that will be going into (or onto) the new patio. That will be fully for enjoyment.


Oh, to add another note, we also enjoyed New Orleans. Just not enough time to eat everything I wanted.

NOLA is great, and there's NEVER enough time to eat what you want while you're there. I go a week at a time, and still run out of time before I run out of places to eat.

I am guessing the one you saw rolling is the one I buy frp, I know the owner well and my picture is on the wall. Id you mentioned me to the owner that would have gotten you a discount. BTW the Owner is a Female

I last went in October of 2013, and I updated my post on recommended places to go and eat. Check here.
