Tampa Sweethearts Cigar Company does not sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21 and does not ship tobacco products to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, South Dakota or Utah.

Sucks that people and businesses think it’s illegal to ship to Hawaii, because no one seems to understand the law, or care to just meet the requirements is all. :(

Oh well I can’t buy from them, I should give them a call some time and explain it to them, and see if they’ll correct this.

After my transaction today I bet they would take the time to listen!

Around a million and a half population, Hawaiian Cigar Cruises, Tour Vacations, etc., heck, even setting up a cigar or Fuente business in Hawaii. Seriously who’s not getting any of this. A World Class Tourist Destination and the cigar industry isn’t capitalizing on this. Someone is seriously a sleep behind the wheel, and I don’t just mean Fuente but the entire cigar world.

hmm 🤔

My brother and I were talking about this the other day. Because of the volcanic soil. Why isn’t tobacco grown in Hawaii also??

Kauai Cigar Company grows their Filler tobacco on Kauai for their cigars, and then it gets rolled in Nicaragua, with Nicaraguan leaf.


I actually just spoke to them, they said the environment is good in Hawaii to grow everything, but for some reason, they only grow the filler tobacco in Kauai and make the cigars in Nicaragua.

Damn you Thompson Cigar!

I opened up an old gmail inbox yesterday and found 35% discount code for Father's Day and free shipping.

I ordered a box of Four Kicks Capa Especial for $118. Impossible to pass up as I paid $225 for the same box last year from my local shop.

I also picked up a tin of Dunhill Scottish Mixture for under $9 after the discount.

Picked up a few Fuente "Unnamed Reserve" 2021 today at the local shop

These were apparently rolled in 2016, then rested for 5 years until their 2021 release. I suppose they then sat and box-aged for a few more years until they landed in St. Paul. Excited to try! I probably won't wait too long...

Land availability and cost?

There’s actually a lot of cheap land on the Big Island, you can buy one acre starting around $9K-10K, which is in heavy volcanic soil, my understanding is good for growing cigars.
