Tony shares some of his views on cigars



My grandfather on my mother's side loved Dutch Cigars in the old Shanghai days.Cigars appealed to me as I spent the cold winters in Canada as a kind of warmth.As a senior in boarding school, we were allowed to smoke pipe or
cigar, no cigarettes as that's for the working class.  cigars were then port-dipped cheapies.

Cigar is a luxurious way of relaxing myself after a long day of work; it’s a treat to myself. Of course, too much smoking is not good for your health but a few cigars a week wont break your bank
or affect your health.

Cigars - especially from low tech Cubans, are as natural as can be. That’s why the colour of the wrapper varied a lot and sometimes

there are green spots and bug bites in the cigars.all items n their natural and pure states have their good and bad elements, red Indians in north America and the western tribes in china all used tobacco as a kind of medicine. Its only when you adulterate tobacco with the habit forming chemicals and scants, coupled with mass advertising, t will be dangerous to your health.

My cigar business started in 1996. It was relatively easy marketing at that time as consumers are getting into cigars.   The problem is how to sustain the supply of good Cubans. One very interesting incident occurred when I obtained leftover official visit cigars served at the banquet for Clinton in china during his visit.  No
one wanted the cigars, but when Lewinsky hit the news, however few boxes left were sold in one day.   Angry words were received from customers.   The news agency even sent a reporter here and my photo
was seen world wide.

From 1995 when we started the cigar business until now, cigar brand from all corners of the world landed in Hong Kong.   However Cubans
are still the most in demand.   Prices still fluctuate as it all depends on the supply.   Controlling Cuban quality is a big problem.  We guarantee our goods are genuine and we do our bet to provide the best quality and the best value.
