    Who smokes Cubans?

    Personally I like any number of Cohiba.

    My humidor also contains some Monte Cristos, Romeo & Juliets, and a few Punsch.

    Who else likes their cigars? Americans... where do you get your contraband from? LOL

      I'm actually partial to Partagas myself. Haven't had a real one in years. You know someone?

                              Yeah, Fuente has some nice smokes.

                              Ever smoke a Padron? They have some very nice smokes if you like them heavy.

                                  Are those reals cubans? or cuban seeds grown elsewhere?

                                      With all candor Cuban cigars are good but not worth the prices. They are more snob appeal then value. Many other cigars are as good or better. Just pick up a copy of cigar affectionado and read the reviews.

                                          Like everything else, blanket statements are meaningless. There are plenty of crappy Cubans, true, but there are some very very good smokes that have yet to be replicated elsewhere.

                                          By the way, the magazine is called "Cigar Afficionado."

                                              Oooooh Padron.... Better yet have you tried the anniversary edition? Hard to find but very good.

                                                  Nope, can't say I have. I haven't been to any of my favorite stores in NYC in close to a year and the selection up here is well, kinda thin ;) I'll keep my eyes open for those in my travels. They do make a fine cigar

                                                      Before I became an anti-smoking wimp, I did enjoy an occasional Cuban cigar. The problem is that half of the Cubans in Montreal are fake. Let's just say it's easy to tell the difference, even for a novice.

                                                              That's what I have heard also. I always get mine at "Vasco", downtown on Ste-Catherine. I've never gotten a bad cigar from that shop.

                                                              In Canada, there is an 800% tax on imported tobacco products. So the cigars themselves are cheap before taxes.

                                                                                          There are some great sticks which come out of other places.  Take Honduras for instance, the climate and soil composition is very close to that of Cuba.  One of the main reasons some of the better companies when there after '58.

                                                                                          Top 5 sticks I like for general smoking:

                                                                                              Padron anniversary are great as is the padron 1926 both impossible to find both for sale at my local cigar shop be some fluke of good luck.

                                                                                              I also love the Opus X in any size (picked up some "A"s at this same shop)

                                                                                              As far as cubans go, they're good but as has been said, they're over priced. I'd rather buy a box of Opus X than a handful of cohibas.
                                                                                              Partagas Listutania (cuban) is a great cigar.
