I'm not sure of any places, but the people at www.clubstogie.com should know exactly where you can get them. Always ask for the glass top Cohiba's, they seem to be the most popular:smiley20:

I agree. The glasstops are simply awesome. Unfortunately I don't know of a site to get them from. I usually happen upon them while on vacation down in Mexico.

Hey Guys - Seriously

For anyone that hasn't read or doesn't know - there is an official board policy on the discussion of buying, selling, or trading Cuban cigars - and it's not allowed.

See link at:

I am not enacting this policy because of any particular post/thread. I simply want to keep this board a clean, fun place for everyone’s enjoyment. The bottom line is that Cigarsmokers.com is owned and operated in the United States and Cuban cigars are illegal here. Black market wares bring nothing but trouble.

If you would like to discuss an experience or post a review about a Cuban cigar, that is fine so long as it does not involve buying, selling, or trading with in the United States.

Sorry guys, but I'm not going to jeopardize this community or myself for the enjoyment of anyone.

Suggest folks edit out posts. Not many rules on the board, but this is one of them. Unless you're looking at Club Stogie, of course.

If that's the case I should have been a senior member long ago. Better check my PC clock. It's probably slow a little... maybe 30 years or so.

I dunno Sid, I was kinda hoping he'd stick around. Even though we couldn't help him out with his initial request ya never know, he may just wind up liking this place and sticking around. Having a member here from Beverly Hills sure sounds cool to me!:smiley20: I like his screen name too, reminds me of my teenage years when I used to watch "Dukes of Hazard" wasn't that Dodge Charger COOL AS hell?\.:smiley32:

Technically, unless you give up your U.S. citizenship, going to Mexico and buying a Habano is still illegal.

It's legal for Americans to smoke a Habano only if no money changes hands.

Basically, our Cuban embargo works a lot like prostitution. It's legal if its free, illegal if you pay for it.

(Thanks in advance to everyone who replies with speculation about me and prostitutes.) :smiley26:

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Even a gratuitous Cuban cigar is illegal for a US citizen to posses anywhere on earth.

No Cubans Here. None. Aero. Zilch. Nada.

Yeah. We can't even accept them as gifts. No smoking them overseas... no possession of ANY kind.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the way it is.

REALLY! I thought it was limitied to possesion in the US. You mean if I go to Mexico on vacation and smoke a Cuban Cigar I can (technically) be prosecuted in the US when I get back?

That's insane.

It's not my fault I was born here!

Ya? I'm with Dru. I thought if we went out of the country and bought one, it was perfectly fine. From what it sounds like, as long as I'm an American citizen, it is illegal for me to smoke one anywhere? Seems like if this was true, they would need some kind of identification when you were buying cubans overseas.

Key word is it is illegal for YOU to smoke one, and only under American law. It is legal under say Canadian law (I think) for an American to smoke a cuban in Canada. The person selling you the cigar doesn't care where you are from, they are not breaking any laws in their county. Hypothetically, say I send an American a Cuban cigar, I cannot be prosecuted. (as far as I know).

Found at tobacco.org

"Intro:
The United States Treasury Department has tightened its prohibitions against U.S. citizens importing or consuming Cuban cigars.

The department's Office of Foreign Assets Control has announced in a notice posted on the Internet that even Americans licensed to bring back up to $100 worth of Cuban goods will no longer be allowed to include tobacco products in what they carry. Previously, those licensed were exempted from what was otherwise a total import ban on Cuban tobacco products.

The notice also clarifies that Americans are barred from not only purchasing Cuban goods in foreign countries, but also from consuming them in those countries."

Now, I don't know who is going to enforce this overseas. Consider that we have hundreds of thousands of laws on the books in this country and most of them aren't enforced anyway (except those having to do with motor vehicles.:smiley21: )

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the way it is.

You are mistaken. There are plenty of LEGAL ways for Americans to smoke a Cuban cigar.

If you are delivering medical supplies or charitable aid to Cuba, the Office of Overseas Assets will give you permission to spend money in Cuba. This still does not allow importation of Cuban products into the U.S., but it allows Americans in Cuba to spend money (even on cigars).

Citizens with family members living in Cuba can go visit their relatives every five or six years. They can spend money while there.

Journalists and anyone else with a constitutionally-protected reason to go to Cuba can bring back 100 cigars per excursion for personal consumption. This is how Dave Letterman got his -- CBS reporters in Cuba.

And, yes, if someone gives you a Cuban cigar as a gift while outside America, you can smoke it without any worries. The Cuba embargo is enforced by the Department of the Treasury, not the State Department. You can consume Cuban-made products without purchasing them.

Furthermore, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRICTION ON TRAVEL TO CUBA. The only restriction is spending money. Since Cuba charges $50 for a visa, that's why most people cannot go.

Here in my home town, lots of people go to Cuba regularly -- hell, you can sail there in about 3 hours. Once in port, the visa is paid for (illegally) and stamped on an index card. When these illegal visitors leave Cuba, they toss the index card. When stopped by the Coast Guard and asked what they were doing in Cuban waters, they answer, "Fishing."
Naturally, if any Cuban goods are found, the boat owners are in deep ka-ka (they'll lose their boat, and it gets worse from there).

I'm not sure that your facts are correct, but even if they are, those "plenty of legal ways" are just a tad inconvenient for most of us, wouldn't you say?
