Just thought I'd let y'all know, that I'm watching the episode where Susan's dad gives a box of CCs to George, then gives them to Kramer. In the scene where he hands them to Kramer, you can clearly see a box of Ramon Allones Gigantes! Way to rep RA (my favorite brand :-) )

Never noticed that... I always wondered what Kramer was smoking!

That's great. I've also been wondering what the cigars are in the Todd Gaak episode ("Producto de Peru?!?")

LoL...Hey now...Todd Gack was paid handsomely for those fake Cubans

Kramer at Todd's apartment
Knock , knock
Kramer : You Gack ?
Todd : Yeah .
Kramer : Here's your money .
Kramer throws a bag full of change at him

I read an interview with Michael Richards many years ago. He said that the cigars he smoked on the show were Big Butts made by Altadis in Honduras. http://www.altadisusa.com/cigar/bigbutt.asp
Only once can I remember seeing him smoking a banded cigar. I couldn't read it clearly but the colors looked right for this brand.

A scene that I like is the one where Elaine is smoking a cigar with her feet up on Peterman's desk. "It's a peach!"

That, and the "fake Cubans" rolling the crepes...

:-) And Kramer seems to smoke a stick in every episode.

The first time I saw that episode at the Magic Pan I had beer spewing out my nose when Kramer said of one of the "Fake Cubans"
"Look he's rolling a double corona":-)

I'm new here, but I've posted this same thread on other forums about the RA Gigantes. I never got much response, but I'm sure glad to know there's somebody else who cares about the important things in life like what kind of cigars George gave Kramer. :-) Cigars were in so many episodes of Seinfeld, I doubt that would happen in today's PC climate. I think the cigar stories probably come from Larry David, co-creator of Seinfeld. He's weaved cigars into a couple episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm too.

RA is also my favorite brand. There was also an episode where kramer went to the cuban embasadors office and traded him his suite coat for cuban cigars and they hung out and smoked cigars. I loved that show.

Werent the "fake Cubans" from DR? Dominican's never roll to tight, but if the crepes had construction issues, I would believe that they were Cuban....yep Im a masshole alright :-)

Gaak? What is that, dutch?
[Reply]

They just don't make shows like that anymore......

I love that show. I'm trying to remember that episode and I think the box of "Cuban" cigars from Todd Gaak that were Producto de Peru is actually a box of Partagas #10's.

Another show with a few cigar references was Newsradio. They smoke a box of Partagas 150's in the episode where their building catches on fire.
