"There's something about smoking a cigar that feels like a celebration. It's like a fine wine. There's a quality, a workmanship, a passion that goes into the smoking of a fine cigar." -Demi Moore

Has the date for the cigar safari been announced? I have friends from Nicaragua, I like them, very hard working people. I have been in Nicaragua several times, it is a very nice country. Cost of living is cheap but there is a lot of poverty. There are many good things there besides premium cigars, but the government it is not trustworthy, not at all, and it has been that way for many years. I have nothing against Nicaraguans, but the government is a dictatorship, so you can expect anything from them in order to quell the social unrest throughout the country. I have been living in Costa Rica for 24 years, and believe me, today in Nicaragua the situation is not good. Daniel Ortega fought with the Sandinistas and he wants to be President for life and his wife Rocio is the vice-president. Hopefully peace & order will be restored before the cigar safari happens. Some of you may remember the Contra War. The Contras were the various U.S.-backed and funded right-wing rebel groups that were active from 1979 to the early 1990s in opposition to the socialist Sandinista Junta of National Reconstruction government in Nicaragua. The Contras lost. Does the name Oliver North ring any bells? He was recently made the President of the NRA. In July of 1989, North and other major contra-gate figures were barred from Costa Rica. The order was issued by none other than Oscar Arias Sanchez, president of Costa Rica and winner of the 1987 Nobel Prize for Peace. President Arias was acting on recommendations from a Costa Rican congressional commission investigating drug trafficking. The commission concluded that the contra re-supply network in Costa Rica which North coordinated from the White House, doubled as a drug smuggling operation. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?zx=1hlzi99qliac0#label/BME/163732725814e0c0
