Royal Jamaica Cigar history question.
When did the production of Royal Jamaica cigars cease in Jamaica??
I ask because I found a 4-pack of Royal Jamaica New York Plazas in the bottom of one of my coolers, and the packaging states made in Jamaica. These bad boys are damn old. And let me tell you, still one truly tasty smoke!!!! I am enjoying the hell outta this cigar. Glad I got three more. Last edited by bsk; 05-16-2017 at 08:59 AM. |

I probably didn't pay anywhere near $35 for the entire 4-pack whenever it was I bought these.
$35 for a single is kinda crazy. |

Yes, we made lots of ALTS in Jamaica
I was pretty friendly with Robert Gore (the owner) Their family also owned most of the Blue Mountain Jamaican Coffee FWIW: Robert Gore could hit a golf ball further than anyone I have ever seen - and that includes professional golfers. |
