Can Cubans Be had in USA?

Ruger1v · 10-11-2006, 01:54 PM

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not but I am new to the cigar thing. Less than one year…. I hear a lot of things about Cuban cigars…. I have smoked enough sticks now to have an idea of what is good and my pallet is getting more refined in its youth of smokin’. Any suggestions on how to get a Cuban? Is it worth it? Can I just order one on line? If so, any suggestions on an economical Cuban smoke that is considered a good deal…. And where to obtain it…..
I apologize for all the questions; any answers would be appreciated….

Thanks Bill H

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.

It was just a question, Sort of feel like the new kid in school with that reaction... Like I said, I am new to this so the etiquette is not well defined to me at this time. So if I was a seasoned smoker the question would have been proper???? I am not trying to disrupt your “Good old Boys” Cigar club mentality. I just had question and thought a forum would be the correct stage to present it. I have heard many things about Cubans being legal and not legal, all in smoke shops and all different. A little clarification is all I needed...

If you plan on staying here how about reading the second stickey thread in the Cigars forums?

A little advice...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am reposting this sense it seems some people just aren't getting the point. Pay particular attention to #5!

Recently we have had an influx of dumbasses come through these parts and to avoid you going down the same road as them I would like to point out a few things:

1. Respect ALL the members here all the time!

2. If you do something wrong or just plain stupid, expect to be called on it and take your criticisms like a man.

3. USE the search tool!!! Odds are the question you have has been answered if not many times at least once.

4. Relax and be thick-skinned. Remember that the population here is 99.9% male and guys as you know can be brash without ill-intentions. So take everything with a grain of salt before you throw yourself into a flame war with an established member.

5. If there's something controversial going on and you don't know the WHOLE story, stay out of it!

6. Participate often and contribute to the board.

You already screwed on #1, #2, #3, #4. Takes your licks like a man and move on. How about posting an introduction about your self.

I was just thinking the same thing.

This dude had his feathers lightly ruffled (compared to the beat down I have seen people get after such a stupid and inappropriate question). Then he has to respond with a bunch of violent talking Bullshit full of spelling and grammar errors to boot. You would think he could at least clearly write out his macho man intentions. What a freaking joke.

clarification for you...

noobs should read the "rules and regs" section. you should have used the search button.

and if you had lurked or even used the search function, you'd know that thin-skinned, quick tempered folks don't do well.

i'd say it was nice knowing you, but... it really wasn't.
