Punch Coronations. Small, not that spendy, long on flavor.

Cohiba is numero uno but very pricey
The rest of the list would be

Partagas,
Ramone Allones(Sadly many of the good ones are being discontinued)
Vegas Robaina
Boli
Monte

Its not even necessary to have connections, you can just order them online.

I recently placed an order for some Cohibas off of www.absolutecigars.com

A week later i got completely authentic sticks in a never before opened box.

if they were to get discovered during shipment somehow, could I get in trouble?

See, I keep hearing conflicting statements on that. This thread talks about a total fascist like ban on Americans smoking Cubans. But then I here that you’re good to go up to $100 worth of Cigars.

I for one wouldn’t take the chance ordering online. I like my Dominicans enough to not care. But many people have had nothing but luck doing it.

Good Luck!

More than likely not.

Customs officials wouldn't waste their time hunting down some guy that bought a single box of cuban cigars, they would just take it.

there are ALOT of people in the states that order cubans, they wouldnt waste their time on just you. Even if your cigars were taken, the absolute cigar guarantee: "Our Guarantee is simple: All our cigars are 100% genuine Havanas. Nevertheless, should you have any concern over this after receiving your cigars, we will happily accept a return and give you a full refund for the purchase price of your order. No arguments or questions asked." insures that you always get what you pay for.

I am a fan of the Cohiba, but I have had several monti's in the past while stationed overseas and they were absolutely phenomenal.

Motecristo for the # 2. Also quite paritial to Punch and San Cristobal. I feel that with a Cohiba you are paying too much for the label and the quality just doesn't justify the price, having said that the Robusto is lovely.

While I like Cohiba, out of those, I don't see Trinidad or the sleeper company turned huge, San Cristobal. San Cristobal is the best cuban IHMO. :smiley37:

The Fuerza is a monstrously good smoke.

While I am a big Cuban Romeo Y Julieta Fan, I am a big Montecristo #4 fan. The #1-#4's are very versitile cigars and set the standard to which all other Cigars are measured.

Mine is the bolivar corona extra. I could smoke those everyday. But, not on the list. So as far as the list goes, the Monti, specifcally the #2.

I like just about all Cuban brands EXCEPT the five you listed so I didn't vote.

CC, you like San Cristobals?
09-16-2005, 02:34 PM

Bolivar
09-16-2005, 03:06 PM
Corona Gigante

Bolivar. You always remember your first time.

Also Ramon Allones: the Specially Selected is a classic.

Of the ones listed, HdM.

I don't think I've ever met a Cigar Smoker who didn't like the Montecristo #2.
