Well it sounds as though a few of you are intrested. I am smoking my last cuban Cohiba Sunday night as my last night here on the boat. I will probably pick a few more up in Bahrain before coming home. Will have to try and set up a meet when i get home.
Seeing how I would never be let back into this great country if I came within 3 miles of Cuba, whats the going rate per box if you buy them in Cuba??
Has anyone ever looked into the pentalty's for dealing with cuban cigars? Holly Cow, I am a subscriber to Cigar magaizine and last month they had an article on the Cuban mystique. Even smoking a cuban outside of the US as a US resident is a felony. Purchasing, selling or even par-taking in the forbidden goods is punishable up to 25yrs and $250,000. I love Kennedy, but damn thats rough. And it said how he bought a 1,000 plus H. Upmanns the night before he signed the embargo.
The counterfit is bad, that have replicated the Cohiba wrapper down to every detail. Its all lies in the filler, some swish sweet crap, but I am not that good yet to tell, I guess the price could let you in a little, but I am sure they are not offering "discounted Cubans" Thats why "if" I had the oppertunity I would go with something else other than Cohiba, The Romeo y Juileta medals de oro Habanna is a prize to me!
that was a great article.....loved it. Especially the story behind cohiba....great stuff. Yeah so far this cruise i have smoked the following cubans: Romeo y julieta, la gloria cubana, and a partagas serie d great smokes....
