But he has a Cigarette flag on the wall.

(I feel envious seeing these things advertised in the U.S. I’ve done the import thing 3 times now and it’s getting more expensive every time!)

I had a closer look, he’s also got Skater, Apache and Corvette up there. Wonder how much he wants for the wall? 🙂

Years ago a redneck buddy of mine was in a pub when a guy walked in wearing a cigarette jacket.


As soon as my boy had a chance, he quizzed the jacket wearer about what kind of cigarette he owned.

The guy replied that he actually had a Baja but it was the same thing!

Once my buddy stop laughing he educated him on the difference and told him he should not wear that jacket anymore :-)

I speculate that the guy could have been one of the up-and-coming members of the Tijuana Cartel in Baja Norte. I bet he got a Top Gun eventually.

I got locked up in an El Paso immigration camp back in the '80s when a Swedish buddy of mine and I were on our way from Los Angeles to the Florida Spring

Break season and some Swedish au-pair girls we knew there. We played soccer with the Mexicans in the camp and thereby got protection from the Haitian and

Cuban gangs in the camp. One middle-aged fellow that was transitioning from a 5-year jail sentence, due to drug charges, to being deported back to Colombia told me

that he had a Midnight Express and a Cigarette Cafe Racer in Florida which his older brother was a caretaker of. He invited us to his place in Florida since he was expecting

to be back there in a couple of months. My buddy and I didn't go to Florida until a decade later and by then we had enough solid friends who had nice boats there.

No need to hang out with the Escobars' or the Tony Montanas' in the Florida boating community.

At some point, you and I need to share a few beers and stories!

PS, see you one, raise you one!

Now if that story was told in 2022 (Ruiz ownership) I think the Baja jacket would be the cooler option!
