One **** "CIGAR" ?

Enzyte Bob

In a country where you can buy a pack of Marlboro Cigarettes for 75 Peso why can't you buy one Cigar without mortgaging your house or selling your youngest child. Every now and then I like to chew on a Cigar while doing some complicated work that requires thinking. In this country one cannot just go to the Supermarket or Seven Eleven to buy a Cigar.  One Cigar store wants 1196 Peso for their cheapest five pack of Cigars, which comes out to $4.50 per Cigar, not bad. I was in a local Casino that wanted $42 dollars for one Cigar.

How about this: I bought a bottle of 1,000 baby aspirins on Amazon $8 and had it Fedex'd to Manila. Not knowing 81mg aspirins is required by customs to have a Doctors prescription. I had to pay over $7,000 peso storage fees while straightening the prescription & paperwork.
