Dissappointing smoke.

For Padron Annis check out R. Fields or Tobaccos of Hawaii.

Have you been to swam in Aiea? They have a nice selection of quality, boutique brands and the owner Jill knows what they all taste like. Not to mention she is an expert in Wine and Scotch!

I love SWAM, well I did before they stopped carrying my 7-20-4s. Besides Tamura's it is the closest shop to me. The wife and I are taking a little road trip around the Island today and I'm planning on stopping in there for one of these I saw them last week but the artwork scared me off.

7-20-4 s are a great smoke. I could be wrong but it just may be that they were selling slow for them or maybe they were just out of stock and waiting to put in another order. Did you ask them? As for the Zulu Zulu make sure to try both blends. My fav being the Connecticut which is George Ricos daily cigar but I know others that like the Habano better.

Hmmm trip around the island...breakfast at Cinnamons or Boots and Kimos in Kailua, garlic shrimp in Kahuku for lunch, shave ice in Waikele (better than Matsumotos in Haleiwa), fried chicken at Taniokas in Waipahu for snack sounds about right!!!
