Price: $2.75

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? Yes

Visited La Villa del Tabaco in Tijuana, Mexico. Cuban prices were higher than wanted to pay, but had heard house brand was pretty good. This shop had a nice relaxing atmosphere and served Cuban coffee. Had a very good smoke while drinking a cappuchino and chatting with the shop girls.
