    Cuban cigars are illegal in the USA and have been since JFK's embargo on the country. The buying, selling, purchasing, or consuming of any Cuban cigar that was produced post-embargo is strictly forbidden. Therefore we do not discuss cuban cigars here unless we are from countries other than the USA. It's just bad etiquette, especially for someone new.

    Correct. I however smoke Cubans (cigars) all the time.. One of the few perks of living in Canada. If I remember correctly as well, the penalties in the United States are very stiff.

    The above holds true for any post-embargo cigars, however, there are some cigars out there that are made with pre-embargo tobacco, Pinar makes one. They're ok, but hell the tobacco is over 50 years old so...... you better hope it was stored well.

    Also you can spring for pre-embargo boxes of cubans made in the cuban factories but

    1: Good luck finding any someone is willing to part with; and,

    2: I hope you're one rich S.O.B. because those will be thousands per box.

    Otherwise, there are many, many great non-cuban cigars that you can develop your taste for cigars with.

    Yep, there are many different awesome cigars out there worth trying. Your pallet has a lot more work ahead of it.
