Eh, from what I understand, Fidel has hosed the Cuban cigar industry along with the rest of the Cuban economy.

Maybe Red China has good cigars...anyone know? I am sure they would be at a lower cost...WalMart should check into it.

But how will they prove that a particular stogie isn't a "pre-ban" stick?

I smoked some "pre-embargo" Cuban tobacco once.
Bloody awful.

"The question is often asked whether United States citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States may legally purchase Cuban goods, including tobacco and alcohol products, in a third country for personal use outside the United States," the notice said. "The answer is no." Yet Walmart can sell, in America, the products of Chinese near-slave labor. Sheesh.

The Cuban cigars I've had recently are not as good as a quality Dominican or Honduran smoke.
They are prohibitively expensive too.
I'll stick with my Fuente 8*5*8s and Punch Double Coronas.

Why do we restrict Cuba so much? Why cant we travel there and buy things from there?
Red Communist China is the real enemy, the real threat. We should ban imports and exports of all kinds, esp anything involving technology or manufacturing capabilities, i.e. we should have absolutely no trade at all with china. Anyone who buys anything made in china, should be prosecuted. Anyone who helps china build a factory or who gives china any technoolgy should be sent to prison for a very long time.

I smoked some 2 weeks ago, and it was a wonderful cigar.

You do understand my sarcasm...right?
To: All
I for one will be glad when Castro kicks the bucket.
I look forward to a good "Legal" Cuban cigar.
Not to take anything away from some of the other great cigars out there but I have to say the best I have smoked were from Cuba.
I do have to wonder though that part of what makes them so good in my mind (and perhaps others) is the fact that they are "taboo". Just a thought.
To: martin_fierro
Americans are barred from buying a Cuban cigar in other countries, even to smoke it outside the United States. Oh, well, I guess that makes me a criminal.
