FUCK , to protect us from ourselfes. What a ridiculous waste.:disgust

im sure the total amount is now like 999,867 after some agents "lose" them during sorting :P

Achmed can get those back

Contraband is contraband. Does Canada allow them?

yeah, on the way to the blast furnace. All this because the changed the rules for packages over 1 lb :disgust

Yes, they are civilised:winkwink:

Cuban cigars? They did last time I checked.

Canada is where I get mine

real biz with cigars....

For the love of god I have no idea why we treat Cuba like we do. Fucking Bay Of Pigs was like forty fifty years ago. Time to lay this one to rest.

What a waste of resources.

Cuban Cigars FTW

Then guess I don't understand why upset.

This is going to upset Caz

sorry, just find it a ridiculous waste of time, energy and material, to go and destroy something as special as a cigar. Just because of some bullshit political embargo, that should of been lifted years ago :2 cents:

A lot of peoples Xmas treats are gonna go up in smoke for no good reason.:disgust :pimp

Wow, up in smoke

I think his point is that its stupid, uneeded and a waste of time. Not whether or not its legal.

fuck that shit

I just go get my own boxes, simple. Casa del Habano FTW.

Anarchy, FTW.

yes ..... and your point is ?

There wouldn't be much of a demand for Cuban cigars if they were not illegal :2 cents:

Word. and Hawk.

This is a US thing. Does not affect Canada. We have our laws, you have yours.

Was it really that difficult to comprehend?

Cuban cigars are not contraband in Canada. Of course, different countries are different.

A real shame.They charge like 300 bucks for import duties for a box of 25,and they are from the US

Yes. Cuba didn't point nukes at us, so they're allowed to sell their cigars in Canada.

It's actually an excellent revenue stream for some small businesses in Canada. I remember mailing cubans several times to people in the US. Always went to the same friendly shop keeper to buy them. A nice Iranian guy, who knew how to wrap & package them correctly, to give you the best chance of them getting through customs.

Sounded as if a good portion of his customers were Americans wanting cuban cigars, whether it was directly or indirectly.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

because some people are not self-centered and can think things are wrong despite being outside of ten feet from their beard.

waste of fucking money

I haven't bought any in a while, but I always get mine via Miami.

The trade embargo is one of the stupidest things ever. EVER.

I smoke my Cohibas in Havana.

sorry , wrong there, Cuban cigars were always world class and what are others are measured against:2 cents:

Not yourself... Communists... :thumbsup

ah , sorry.......... My bad :Oh crap

I understand the trade embargo, as stupid as it is...

But if they were being shipped to the US, they were already paid for... which defeats the purpose of confiscating them, the money is already in the pockets of the Cubans who sold them ...

If they really want to make it effective they need to stop the money from getting to Cuba, not the Cigars from getting to the US.

I just think it's retarded. Hell, Japan bombed one of our naval bases and we still do plenty of trade with them. It wasn't even the Cubans pointing nukes at us, it was allowing Russia to put their Nukes there for THEM to point them at us. And it's not like we don't have Nukes pointed at anyone else.

Hypocrisy.

California has the right answer, they have a better cigar than Cuba

well, OK . you win :stoned

:thumbsup:thumbsup

It's not like the cigar industry just ground to a halt... You know your stuff, so you can't say that there aren't world class cigars also being made in Honduras, Nicaragua, Dominicon Republic, etc...

cubans need cash

I never said that :winkwink: Yes, there are Great cigars made in those countries as well, smoked a few :thumbsup
