Those are Montecristo cigars. When I began seriously getting into cigars, 50 years ago, Montecristo was considered by many aficionados to be the best cigar in the world. A friend and I drove up into Canada in 1975, and I bought a box which I brought back into the states. It was touch and go, there, for a while; we got selected by the border guards to pull into their garage at the crossing, and they commenced a search. The cigars were in the trunk, not very well-hidden beneath the spare tire. Fortunately, the border guards didn’t want to mess with the luggage rack on the trunk, which would have had to have been unbuckled and untied for the trunk to be opened, so we escaped with our loot intact. They did pop the hood, however, and look under the lid of the air filter for some reason, where they discovered…a carburetor.
