Granada Cigars, a Nicaraguan cigar company, has come up with a presidential cigar by the name of Obama 44. The tobacco is lovingly hand-rolled and wrapped with a gold band that has Obama 44 prominently displayed in honor of the 44th US president.
Though the new president has kept the White House smoke-free so far, it is unclear if he has quit smoking completely since according to him, it is tough to kick a 20-year old habit.
Maybe cigars bearing his own name will help president Obama quit cigarettes (and shift to smoking cigars). Let’s hope so (Link to Yahoo News article).

The Cigar sounds interesting. Sounds like the Cigar Boom of the 90′s. I would love to know who is selling them in NY?
We are having a Cigar Meet Up at J&R in Whippany NJ. On Feb. 11, 2010 7PM. Maybe J&R will have them.
