Probably not, but I don't consider Trenton a major city.

Now, I'll freely admit that the only place I have been to in NJ is Newark, and no city deserves to be compared to that. Good grief is that one butt ugly city.

No I was wrong about this. It all fit together but I managed to find a single picture of a box of them and they are different. So I am back to square one on those. I wrote to cigar.com, they sell aged and rare cigars in their luxury collection. They referred me to someone who works with the cigars in the luxury collection. I wrote so I am just waiting for the reply. But they might not recognize them either. I would like to get in touch with one of those guys in Hong Kong who deal in rare cigars. I am sure they would know but I cannot find a way to contact them.

Update - I was able to send messages with photos to two of the Hong Kong guys, hopefully they will write back.

Trenton IS the state capital, and has been an influential city since before the Revolution, which is why it was important when Washington took it.

Trenton Makes, The World Takes

Well once upon a time. Trenton is a considerably faded rose.

Just reading now...

Ringo- in post 5 you wrote the la coronas arent clear havanas at all, but as you describe them, you are describing exactly what a clear havana cigar is. ie a cigar rolled in the US made entirely from cuban tobacco. And of course by definition, clear havanas are also pre embargo.

I know that! So I don't know why I said that. I'll have to have a smoke and think about this.
