Question
Dear Bill-

Occasionally, I find a store which has the above cigars.  As the Ornella Cigar Co. (to my knowledge) is no longer making cigars, I'm always surprised when someone informs me
of a dist./seller who still has them in stock...from way back when?

Do you know of anywhere in the USA or otherwise, where I could purchase them?

Thank you-my cell phone is 248.563.4300

Answer
Jeffrey,

I haven't seen Ornelas cigars in a long time - not in stores and not at our annual trade show where just about every cigar available in the US is represented. It may be that they are available in Mexico and someone is bringing a few in, but I wouldn't know where you could find them.

Sorry I can't help.
Bill

Expertise

I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.

Experience

In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
