I had the pleasure of visiting Montreal for a few days. Flashman was kind enough to help me out at the LCDH. We also smoked a few with QM and salibas. Here's a shot of some goodies I gathered. I should note, the US (at least at JFK) doesn't consider Montreal to NYC an international flight. No customs involved...strange, but I won't complain.
I picked up the Cohiba, Monte EL, RA Estupendos and the Boli Simones at the LCDH. FM provided the Dante 109 & the JL Obus RE.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and I wish I'd have had more time to spend with you and show you around. So don't be shy next time you're in town mon ami...
And quite a cigar line-up, even if I say so myself...

That looks like Corona Especiales from 2003 Seleccion Reserva (that's the second band). Out of curiousity I've been on a hunt to get at least one cigar to try of the 5 vitolas they rolled, but never made it. Either not available, or cost an arm and leg. I wonder how much you paid for it, Ozz.
Nice lineup, Ozz! Very generous, flashman. I should go plan a trip to Montreal

On your way home you passed through US Customs in Montreal. You just didn't notice. (What with showing identification here, there and everywhere).
A few other Canadian cities have the same deal. US custom agents are posted there.
(I've always wondered if Mexican airports have US customs officers?)
QM Quality does not occur by chance. It is the result of intelligent activities.

I've been to a the Puerto Vallarta Airport in Jalisco and they didn't have any U.S. agents there...I had to go through customs on the way back in the U.S.....

Yes, you're right VO. I thought it was a good oppurtunity to get one... It was about $45. Not cheap. The pyramide size was $85 IIRC.
