About the Book

Smoke Rings follows a group of friends who use their youthful experiences smuggling marijuana to form the basis for smuggling cigars into the United States. Now in their mid-forties, attorney Jorge Montes de Oca and his best friend, John Davis, a medical doctor, find themselves lured into this adventure by another friend, a Cuban exile and political activist who must finance his activities against the Cuban regime. As they become more involved in the adventure, Jorge and John risk their professional lives to engage in the cigar smuggling. At the same time, the cop who had pursued them during their marijuana-smuggling days is hot on their trail again; and this time, the stakes are so much larger! Examining the intricacies affecting Cuban politics and the love of Cuban cigars, Smoke Rings is fast-paced thriller filled with action and the beautiful scenery of Miami, Havana, and the Florida Keys.
