Gold Standard Cigars 2.jpg

A little quick, natural light, cigar porn for today. This super rare brand (you're looking at the first, and only, box) can only be found in a valley deep in the Rockies. They are a nice, natural Maduro wrapper torpedo. The flavors are dark creamy chocolate and coffee, with hints of Christmas spices.

I did design the band. These are a sample with hopes of maybe more. Something that can't be seen in this photo is what it says on the back of the band, "Mind your Business". That is the one of the first motto on an American coin, the Fugio Cent. The motto was Ben Franklins idea. I've always like it.

Nice work Bill. Atlas Shrugged? Wow, that's a blast from the past...

Alma, seriously, I believe I just rolled my eyes. . . . . I DO wonder though, how many people out there have read "Atlas Shrugged"? Cuz only those folks will get the significance of the band. Oh, and by the way, Bill failed to mention in his comment under the image, that HE is the one who designed the band and the cigars were custom built just special for him. Wanda
