Alex, TRUE story. I would have to search my old issues of Cigar Aficionado where the story is mentioned and the name of the aide that was sent on the errand (who confirms the story) is mentioned. If I remember right the order was to get all the cuban cigars he could find.

Dig, I cannot see how someone that likes cigars would turn down the opportunity of a real habano.
