Look what I got in Cuba (pic)
 

Just got back from a friends wedding in Cuba, While there I bought as many of these bad boys as I could legally take back to Canada (100 cigars total or 4 boxes)

I know many Americans are salivating now LOL

Even if you are not a cigar smoker these are the tastiest cigars.

Nice!! :)

Got any pics from Cuba?

cool have fun :>

great! always wnated to smoke one like this .. how much $$ was a box like this ?

How much do they cost there?

Ok I want some ... NOW !

LOL, i though the thread would be about AIDS

Let's just say they are not cheap even in Cuba but they cost 3-5 times as much to get them here IF you can find the real ones (and they are not easy to find)

The paperwork these came with was amazing. Govt tax stamps, holograms and exit passes to leave the country with them legally.

It took an hour to buy 4 boxes at a government store.

Here is another pic (the 4th box was already given to my friend as a gift for looking after my house and dogs)

Yeah ...your're real cool; you communist asshole.

I thought about posting a pic of a wart covered cock LOL

You can legally take back as many as you want. Once you go over the limit you have to declare them and pay a fee, but I just stuffed 7 cases of esplendidos in my bag. Great cigars. If anyone wants some let me know and I'll pick you up some.

Are you serious???

I went there to see my best friend get married. Pretty sure that doesn't make me a communist. :)

You got ripped if you bought them from the government store. Cubans will throw cases of these things over the fence, at the Cohiba plant, to their buddies to sell. I get a box of 25 esplendidos with all the stickers to attach and paperwork for $50USD, and yes they are real :thumbsup

Yes Cuban Cohibas rock.
:pimp

I would rather live on that island drinking and partying all day than live in a country that is materialistic in goods and christians control what everyone else does.

There are lots of Cubans selling fake, dried out or B grade Cohibas. I feel better knowing that I bought them from a reputable source in a walk in cedar humidor.


You can't put a price on piece of mind my friend ;)

nice find but never go to the government store like the US they are here to rip you off

It's all about research my friend. My buddy Lacial, or however you spell his name, gets 'em fresh that day I request them. Never buy from guys at night, cause you can't clearly see the quality of the ring, the cigar itself, and contents.

Don't get me wrong. I know there are deals to be had out there and I am sure you managed to get the real goods as some people do.

I had lot's of friends at my hotel get scammed into buying fauxhibas or dried out Romeo and Juliets. I am not experienced in the Cuban black market cigar trade so I spent a few extra bucks to make sure I got the real stuff. I still scored on the prices compared to buying them in Canada.

I am keeping them all as either gifts or for personal smoking so the price was not an issue for me.

And where may I ask do you live you idiot?

Canada and the states a few months of the year. And I am an idiot for giving my opinion? I guess getting a PhD in medical science makes me an idiot as well...

You are an idiot for closing a logo design contest (which I did not enter btw) that was not even finished and where a lot of people put time in you asshole. :disgust :321GFY

DeadFidel,

Obviously you have some personal issues with Castro, Cuba and communism which is perfectly understandable.

However insulting me and others is not necessary. For the record I am a serious capitalist and would not have visited Cuba on my own accord. However I would have gone anywhere to witness the marriage of my best friend and he chose Cuba so my wife and I went.

Visiting a communist country does not make me a communist or an asshole. ;)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks PP!!!!!

Plus:

Step out of your air conditioned beach front hotel room and drive 60-70 miles inland and see how the people are living; you worthless piece of shit.

Fair enough.

Ummmm I do when I visit. My neighbours wife is cuban and we go down every year to visit her family. You know nothing about me. I'm glad that I will have a PhD then when idiots life yourself come into my office asking for medical help I can just slam the door in your face.

Why are Cubans illegal in the US? I have no clue. Can someone fill me in?

you scored large, that's awsome!

Agreed, the average living conditions for Cubans are horrible. It's a very poor country with a very poor political system. Many people turn to crime, corruption and prostitution just to pay for food. The average Cuban makes $15-$30 per month and has to pay full price for lifes necessities.

I knew what to expect before going there but seeing it in front of your face is a very sobering experience.

Einstein; it's neighbors not neighbours.

Love cigars, fucking hate communism (capitalism is 1000x better despite its flaws); just wanted to let everyone know!

ohh your're British, now I see :1orglaugh

How much for a box from you?

:pimp

We had some trouble you could say during the JFK admin. Russians + some nukes= no cigars for me

looks great..I wish to have one now and a glas of Port Wine :winkwink:

becuase they are cuban and there have been import export levies for political reasons

Because the US government denies American's the freedom of travelling to and/or doing business with Cuba.

very nice

Here I am enjoying a fine Cuban cigar while there.

This is a good read: http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa384.pdf

Monte Cristo #2's are excellent.

oh shit.

You spell check me and you are wrong. Wow. You are one stupid person. Do you help turning your computer on?

I sell them to my buds for $250USD. ICQ me at 4175-3012 if you're interested and I can pick you up a box when I go next, hopefully in February

Cubans will rip off a tourist faster than anything. They steal the rings, boxes, and stuff, and use 9th grade floor sweepings to make fakes. They will look great, they will be in the right box, they will smell fine, and they will have all the draw of a wet rag.

You might as well smoke the lawn from the front of your hotel.

If you are going to go all that way and want to bring home a quality smoke, it pays to shop where you know they are real.

Yep, that's what I thought... or a babe... a Cuban Babe!! :thumbsup

I know it sucks. That's why you give them $5 to test a random cigar of your choice before you buy anymore.

I have to start smoking cigars
