Cigar Smoker Sues suing Clayton, Missouri’s Over Smoking Ban

Arthur Gallagher used to enjoy a cigar and the newspaper at his local Concordia Park until a smoking ban went into effect on January. Since then he has taken action and sued the city over its smoking ban. The lawsuit states that his 14th Amendment right to due process and equal protection has been violated, and unfairly discriminates against smokers. But, what we at Good Fellas Cigars like most about this suit is it claims that it violates Missouri Constitution’s promise to the pursuit of happiness, that smoking is a fundamental right, and is an ingrained part of America’s ancient history. Best of luck to you Arthur.

CAO La Traviata Divino

by GoodFellasCigars

Wrapper: Ecuadorian

Filler: Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan

Binder: Cameroon

Country: Nicaragua

Factory: C.A.O. Fabrica de Tabacos S.A.

In late 2009 the CAO La Traviata Divino was released without much publicity put around it but it still ended up achieving 15 out of the top 25 cigars of 2010. This full-bodied cigar is a bargain that has a dark, oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that encloses a Cameroon binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The draw of this cigar was easy and had flavors of pepper, leather, and nuts with hints of cedar and anise.  Theses flavors remain all the way throughout the cigar and become more rich the farther you get. This smoke is great for anyone that enjoys consistent flavor throughout their cigar.

CAO Gold Vintage

by GoodFellasCigars

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Seed

Filler: Nicaraguan

Binder: Honduras (Jamastran), Nicaragua (Esteli)

Country: Nicaragua

Factory:

The CAO Gold Vintage is a very smooth mild-medium bodied smoke that can be enjoyed from the most experienced smokers to novice smokers. The silky, vein free wrapper was created from some of the best Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed leaves of 2004. To accompany this wrapper in perfect balance is Habano seed filler tobaccos from Honduras and Nicaragua.  This cigar is very easy to draw with a creamy, buttery smoke that has flavors of leather, hazelnut, cream, and vanilla. The burn is alright with a few touch ups needed along the way. The vanilla and caramel  flavor remains all the way and about midway through a lite, nutty spice comes on making you want more until the caramel finish. The flavorful, sweet cigar will please any smoker’s palate.
