I have the very good fortune of having befriended a man who is generally considered one of the best, if not the best, cigar reps in the South East US. He may be the best in the country. I first met Chris Harper when he was working for another cigar manufacturer. He now works for Perdomo and apparently they recognize his talents as well because he has quickly risen through the ranks there and has gotten himself a nice promotion that has expanded his responsibilities to a national, rather than regional, level. Chris is one of the friendliest and most genuine guys I have met in the cigar business. One of the great things about being friends with Chris is that he is a very knowledgeable and passionate cigar guy with an insider’s knowledge of the industry so he is full of great stories about cigars and the cigar business. He once relayed to me the story of the Perdomo family which is a truly amazing story. Here is a brief synopsis of what Chris told me. You can also find a more detailed version of the story on the Perdomo website.

I wanted something special. My father had just passed away, so I wanted a good, not-TOO-expensive cigar to help me think. (Unfortunately, I didn’t have too much walking around time, so I enjoyed it back in Chicago…while I was, um, thinking.)

More info about purchasing Padron cigars...

This a very very well known, expensive, hard to find and hyped up cigar. Padron Anniversaries appear almost monthly in CA and consistantly receive 90+ scores. Are they worth the price or trouble finding them? I say yes to both. They live up to all the hype and probably then some

More info about purchasing Carlos Torano Exodus Silver cigars...

This is one of my “go-to” cigars. Its fairly cheap by the box, but if you try and buy it as a single stick its gonna cost you. I have seen these in stores for $6-$8 each, so save some cash and buy a box if you like em enough. The box comes with a humi-pack so you can be assured that your cigars will be kept at 69%, which is important because these gars are very sensitive to overheating due to low humidity.

More info about purchasing Padilla Signature 1932 cigars...

I am a fan of Jose Garcia and dare not miss an opportunity to smoke one of his creations. He is tops in my book. A friend gifted me one of these early this year and I have been stocking them ever since. Incredibly, an online vendor ran a special in mid-November for a Padilla sampler where I was able to pick these up for $3.55 a stick (including shipping). An absolutely absurd price considering MSRP is now $12 US! Couldn’t pass it up.

Underrated Hermoso #4 reaps big-time dividends in the taste department. This stick was reputed to be a favorite of Mr. Frank Sinatra back in the 40’s when he made regular trips to Havana.
