    Ya man, buy them from the store in the hotel or an actual cigar store in havana or varadero. no junk off the bartenders, pool boys, lifeguards etc. they are all fakes, and poor ones at that.

    Let's see... I bet you, 420seth, a box of Padron 64s that cigars can indeed com in glass top boxes. Ready to put your money where your mouth is? Tell me why I'm wrong. Hell, I'll even let you pick the size of the 64 to send me.

    C'mon - I'm waiting...

    What he said. Plus, read the recent threads. You still need to post an intro, Cheech.

    Hey dipshit. It is well known that the only place to reliably get authentic Cuban cigars are the Official Cuban Government stores. A lot of hotel shops sell fakes. Just like a lot of B&Ms up here in Canada sell fakes...(betcha didn't know that )

    So where in BC are you from anyways? Feel free to post a proper intro.

    Thats not quite true most restorts and hotels are government owned in Cuba looking at the hotel envelope hanging on my board right now... thus they do sell legit Cubans, they however, do it at the same price as stores. And there is a certain amount of bargaining you can do with the sales people. They like western stuff and corruption is pretty darn rampant... I managed to trade the shirt off my back for three Montecristo #4's in a Habanos store, but first I had to find the clerk who was drinking and playign cards elsewhere, drinking rum clearly pilfered from our hotel's open bar may I add.

    Dude, have you even been to Cuba? Doesn't sound like it by the way you talk. Anyways I did not come in here to fight with Neon drivers. Much below my level. Anyhow, I just did not like getting attached to the glass top box crap. I don't really care if they actually do come in a glass top box or not. I personally have never seen one, but like I say, who cares. Not me.

    If you have never seen a glass top, you have obviously never been to Cuba yourself.

    I have been there six times. my goal in life is not to find a glass box. I am going there on february 3rd though and I will keep my eyes open for one. If I find one which I believe you that they exist, I will take a picture of it and post it. are we kewl?

    ok... except 420seth - you can buy the glass top boxes - their very special limited edition. and make sure you put them right in with your other sticks to permeate the beetles... I mean the aroma...
