This is what I have on the table now but I don't smoke. Any Good?

[TexansFan]

Nothing beats a real Cuban, best cigar I ever smoked. It was a Cohiba, watch out for the fakes though.

[Sam Odom]

Any Good?

probably ok if fresh , a good cigar w/beer

[VegasInsider]

Good smoke? What's the price?

I love cigars, but haven't really experienced many good ones.

What's the one k13 has go for?

[Sam Odom]

What's the one k13 has go for?

5 bucks

mine = 9

[Ra77er]

The one I posted is from Honduras. Military buddy of mine gave me one a few months back, best cigar ever. I;m not postive but I think it sells around $10.

Smells really strong. Picked it up on a trip to Cuba.

A real Cuban like that one will start out at around $5 and go on up from there. need more info on exactly what kind it is.

If anyone wants a few legit cuban cigars you can shoot me a pm and I will send you 1 to 5 to enjoy. Will offer this to 3 posters tops. Got a Staeball cabinet filled with them and between not being in Vegas often and not having time they are just aging nicely for me.

Top 5 of my go to smokes: Partags shorts, Trini reyes, RASS, Siglo I and JL Patricia. Not a fan of the huge ring gauges. Enjoyed the LGC line for a small ring gauge. Only non-cubans I really like are the Padron principe maduros.

[TexansFan]

Looks like this one that k13 has.

A real Cuban like that one will start out at around $14 a piece on the low end.

You can get a legit box of robustos, pc's, tpc's and coronas all for anywhere between $100-$200 a box of 25. Just a matter of finding good vendor. Custom confiscations way up and a lot of overseas vendors got sick of losing shipments to US customers and stopped guaranteeing delivery. Then you have the vendors that sell fakes. There are still a handful of rock solid sources though.

Most here can't visit Cuba, right? I forget who that applies to.

[Sam Odom]

GnG , got these from a local tobacconist. probably not the freshest but...

[TexansFan]

I like the La Gloria Cubanas.

Hey GNG, I would think fakes would be a real big problem. I had a Cuban Cohiba last New Year's and damn, it was so smooth and the draw was perfect. Excellent cigar.

I like the Maduro cigars as well.

Think you have to be a student, teacher, medical to get the exemption. Even then I've been told it is a royal pain in the ass to bring cigars back. Have a big player from Canada who goes to Cuba every few months and gets custom roll bundles from his favorite rollers. He says customs maxes you out at a certain amount of cigars before impsoing tariffs. The custom rolls are something else though. Great fresh and the blends are phenomenal. He gave me a bundle of mini salamones last time I saw him that had a heavy ligero blend. Learned not to smoke them on an empty stomach. Rich and strong.

[battle4life]

lmao i plan to get a good one thinking the romeo and juliet for new years.....

[Sam Odom]

So many fakes in Tijuana now it is not worth risking ones life crossing the border

I'd be skeptical of any US store that sells Cubans out of their store. Why risk your business over it? When I moved to Vegas there was a shop down the street and the owner said he had a locker full of Cubans for sale. I looked at them and he had nothing but fakes. Trinidad torpedos which were never made. Cohiba mini pyramids which were never made either. Sad. He lost his shop and I think he got locked up for selling stolen Davidoff product.

I can steer you towards a few decent sources via pm if you want. I used to really enjoy certain Cohibas but the extra price for the brand wasn't always worth it. I stocked up on the Siglo I's, robustos, and corona especiales. Had too may draw problems with the Exquisitos to make them worthwhile.

The LGC #3 and #4 look like sissy cigars but are out of this world. Tough to find now. Either they stopped producing altogether or vendors rarely stock them.

[TexansFan]

They do seem high GNG. Have you ever heard of Tatuaje Verocu #5?

[Grits n' Gravy]

Yeah. The guy who started the line gave us some boxes a few years ago when he was promoting in Vegas. They are good but too spendy for what they are.

Would much prefer dropping a few hundo on some boxes of cuban Bolivars, Partagas or Ramon Allones than Tats.

I smoke these.. Cohiba's pequenos...small timer

+1 Anybody with a solid business in the industry doesn't need the hassle (and the potential hassle is insanely huge).

Anybody that does it (and is dumb enough to tell anybody that doesn't already know what they're smoking) is dumb enough to get what they deserve.
