In addition, his connectionswith different families like the Fuentes, the Padrons and theGarcias allow Harry to obtain “special cigars that are notsold in the typical market.”For example, one of Harry’s most unique cigars is thePrincessa D, which is only one of the cigars in the FuenteOpus X 2008 Charity Box, of which only 500 boxes aremade each year.“The Opus Princessa D has over 14 different types oftobacco in it, which makes the cigar change flavor fromdraw to draw,” Harry explained. “And I do like to smokecigars, not just look at them.”Harry said the most popular brands requested are theArturo Fuente Opus X or a Cuban Cohiba.“A lot of people ask for those only because they are illegalin the U.S. and like the fact they have something theyshouldn’t,” Harry admitted. “I believe the Cuban marketis not what it used to be.
