I read this thread with a big smile on my face...

Guess at the end of the day, everyone is thinking they can get a deal of the century but truth is, it doesn't happen. I learnt that the hard way too myself. Thankfully, I found a source in Shanghai who deals Cudan domestic (his dad living there since the 60s) and he sells these bandless Cubans and give them number tags on the box. Rarely you find great ones but all of them are smoke-able. But they aren't $2 after transportation costs factored in and neither they glow in the dark nor develop colored stains that would intrigue a NASA "deep space life form" specialist.
