He retrieves one of each and they don't look completely awful. Then rather than offering me one, he lights the Cohiba, gets it going, and then hands it to me to "share". I oblige by taking a pull and giving it back. When he tried to pass the cigar to me again I politely decline to which he says "Aw, you're going to make me smoke this whole thing by myself?".
As if this wasn't enough - I buy a round of tequila shots (remember we are in the heart of Mexico) and he takes a sip from the shot glass and passes the rest to me. Whatever. I drink it. Fortunately my penchant for the booze outweighs my desire to cry "party foul". We soon part ways while his Coheeba dies a slow quiet death.
I never made it to a LCDH but I did manage to snag the above smokes in the duty free shop on the way back home.
Thanks for reading - I don't know anyone else that gives a fuck.
That's a great story. I don't think I'd have had the balls to actually take a puff off of someone else's cigar though.......one never knows what they may 'have'.

I like the Monte #4's and I wager you will too. They're a decent smoke and there's no doubt in my mind those are legit.

So with the changes in restrictions on Cuba, you folks in the US are now able to legally bring Cuban cigars into the US. Is there a limit?? I'm coming down in June and want to bring a few along for the trip. I just don't want to hit the border and find out there's a limit and I'm over it.

I could spare one for this though.
