Just Got Back From Cuba

**Baron Porthos** · 10-29-2005, 08:37 PM

I can't afford that price but I have some rare LaPrefencia only one dealer in the whole country. I'd be happy to swap you for those cohibas and a couple Montes. PM me

**nhcigarfan** · 10-29-2005, 10:09 PM

Don't listen to him,

I have a fantastic money making opportunity. Maybe we can work a trade. I own this bridge in NY. Its a little bridge but it has a great location. You know what they say, location, location, location... It connects a couple of boroughs. No biggie.

I'm tell'n ya, You throw a toll booth up on this sucker and it's got cash money written all over it.

In fact, I think the bridge is even painted green.

Go figure.

I could meet up with someone in Niagara Falls, Ontario on the weekends (my girlfriend lives here) to open up the box, smoke a cigar and verify that all is kosher. It would be good regardless as I could have an experienced smoker tell me that I didn't get fleeced. Just a thought.

**watty** · 10-30-2005, 11:27 AM

The box of No.4's I am into at the moment cost me £70approx. That was in Spain so postage is not on that but it is a bloody site cheaper than $400.
The other thing is that EVERYONE in Cuba is "related" to somebody that works in the factory, and they can all get the real deal for you out of the back door for a cut price

yeah right!!
why would anyone with a steady government job which probably supports another 10 family members without one, risk it, imprisonment and or persecution to sell greedy RICH tourists the genuine article when the whole island is one big tobacco field.

fact is, a woodworking shop and a half decent photocopier or even access to all the empty cabinet selection boxes that the tourists go through in the hotels etc. and old uncle Manuel who did a bit of cigar making upto his 80th birthday, can turn any old cabbage leaf into a box of montecristo's.
WHY WOULD THEY BOTHER TRYING TO MAKE OR STEAL GOOD CIGARS

Sorry, not being critical....just sharing

**watty** · 10-30-2005, 11:35 AM

Did someone mention a bridge for sale? I'm not interested but I did hear of a fellow in the desert somewhere that's a real sucker for them. Well we got rid of one

bigpoppapuff · 10-30-2005, 11:53 AM

giving the benefit of doubt to cf....he did say that they were purchased at a shop...and NOT off the street.....that said...the price is ridiculous.....my attorney and good friend is probably one of the most knowledgable cuban cigar aficionado's....he's right here in buffalo...perhaps cf could drive into buffalo and the three of us meet.....i'm sure we'd all get some answers.

.....now hopefully,cf will see that we didn't all just fall off the truck.......

**watty** · 10-30-2005, 01:22 PM

wasn't thinking of CF, more what cigarsarge was saying on page one. Should have made myself clearer, sorry mate.
I ain't got the hang of forum timing yet

**cfgunner** · 10-30-2005, 01:25 PM

What ever happened to the spirit of bargaining? In North America, people are too used to seeing a price and paying for it. Haggling can be a fun experience and I am open to a little negotiation every now and then. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that I was quoting in canadian dollars. A good ol canuck buck is all I need. I guess I should have mentioned that in the first place

.

Just wondering about bringing them over the border. Is that a big no-no? I would rather meet in Fallsview or Casino Niagara anyway. They are nice relaxed places with smoking allowed.

I'll take a 5er of each - PM me for my addy. You send your end first and tell me what you want for them. I've got plenty of references you can check out to back up my reputation...

**Island Epicurean** · 10-30-2005, 09:30 PM

I believe I have had the Guantanemera Cristales you are talking about. I usually smoke them while playing golf. I would definitly give them an A. They are definitly the best machine made cigars out there.

**CoventryCat86** · 10-30-2005, 11:07 PM

Why do all these guys with the fake cigars only ever have Cohibas and Montes?

Hey CF, next time you go to Cuba, get some fake Saint Luis Rey, San Cristobals or Vegas Robaina THEN you and I can "haggle"

**cfgunner** · 10-31-2005, 12:11 AM

I know I am the new guy here, so I guess skepticism is to be expected. I took some pictures about 2 minutes ago. I don't know if these will mean anything, but here goes.

**Mazeman** · 10-31-2005, 12:33 AM

Can I get a close-up of that Vaseline?

**cls515** · 10-31-2005, 12:58 AM

these guys can get the same cigars for that price or cheaper, from legitimate businesses. Why would you come on here with that price without having any claim to authenticity and give those prices? Just out of curiosity....

from the current Cigar Magazine.......monte 4's....$127.50...no mention of a siglo iv 5-pack....

**cfgunner** · 11-02-2005, 09:53 AM

The Cigar store by my house Shefield & Sons Tobacconists is selling the monte 4s for $458 - 25. I thought I was offering a good deal for cigars coming out of Canada.

Also, the rest stop on Casablanca rd or maybe Fifty rd on the QEW going towards Niagara Falls is selling the cigars for $18 a piece ($450).

Thankfully I don't have to buy them for those vendors...

I also have some Cuban cigars to sell. All I need is your bank account number, social security number, date of birth, mothers maden name, home address, and telephone number.

Should I PM that info, or should I post it here in the thread so everyone knows I'm for real?

Well, I just spit some lunch on the screen from laughing so hard!

Bring some fake San Cristobals and I'll take a look also!
