The Cigar Factory

We drove to San Andres Tuxtlas today to visit the famous cigar factories where Sir Winston Churchill bought his cigars. There are three cigar factories here and when we arrived we found the production floor closed because it is yet another Mexican holiday. They have so many! Fortunately, the sales room was open!

Our friend Claude has been waiting at least a month for cigars and this was his chance to stock up and so he did. He bought a box of forty large cigars and a couple of packs of smaller ones. He was very happy with his purchase which cost him less than $100 CAN. I tried to talk him into buying just one of the most expensive ones they sold at $100 Pesos each but he resisted.
