Short story first. I finally did a search on the rtda.org site to see if I could find a closer cigar shop. What do you know, the one that I knew of 10 years ago that disappeared while I was in college moved to another location on a street that I never go down and it is only 35 miles away. Small shop, great people, small but nice selection and some comparative prices per internet research. The shop even has herfs every other month plus many other benefit. This beats the hour and half I was having to drive previously to a cigar shop.

Question: Has anyone heard of an "Official Cigar of the Kentucky Derby"? These were in a glass tube, this years Derby and priced at $12.50 each. I did not purchase one nor did I have the opportunity to ask for any details on them.
 
I believe thats Maker's Mark cigars. I guess the connection is bourbon..?
 
I'm guessing on this, but was it sealed with gold wax? :D Here are a couple. I love makers mark, so I've seen tons of these things. They have a Tennessee one, (sealed in orange wax) but I can never find them. I figure these are more for makers fan than stogie fans, but they are good. Just don't put them in with the rest of your cigars! lol

This last one isn't a derby one.

I have one in my Humi. My buddy was stationed at Fort Knox KY and picked one up for me last year. I think it was $10.00 at the time.

Thanks for the links. The second link for the "Derby" was the one the cigar shop had. I am sure I will be that way (cigar shop is in a different town) again real soon and I will have to try one.

Thanks for the information.
 
That's funny... I was just looking at these this morning...

Nice...Are they as good as the drink?







Not even close...

Run, don't walk.

Reminds me of the drunken days of college and nothing to do but watch Monty Python's search for the Holy Grail. :laugh:

Coconuts clapping, runaway, runaway, runaway :D
