| Karl lights up a fine Fuente cigar | Mark Weissenberger, of Cigar Aficionado Magazine, stops at the Fuente Cigar's display to get data for his (now published) article on Cigar in the Bottle | One of the perks for Cigar Aficionado Magazine's Mark Weissenberger is that he gets to sample the fine Grand Pommier that is custom made in France to "perfectly" accompany the Fuente Fuente Forbidden X Cigar. Johnny Soyak shows Mark "Grand Pommier's" lovely legs -- resulting from a simple swirl of the brandy snifter.The apples are aged for up to 40 years! |
