I worried, but the Cigar Factory New Orleans is most assuredly still around and in business, thanks to the following update on its website:
WE SURVIVED KATRINA AND ARE ACCEPTING PHONE ORDERS. PLEASE CALL 1-800-550-0775
100% Hand Rolled
Personnally, I’m fond of the Churchills.
Also, since I’m discussing N’Awlins businesses that survived Katrina and are worth your hard-earned buck, the pralines at Aunt Sally’s are amazing. Hey, I don’t get a single shiny penny for these endorsements — they’re from the heart. Enjoy.
