Some good Cubans to start off with.

I'm not a fan of the Belicoso Fino. Some swear by it but it doesn't suit me.

For starters, try some:

Partagas Shorts, D4, Serie Du Connaisseur #3, 898 Varnished

Punch Punch

Montecristo #2, #4

Por Larranaga Petit Corona

Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas

I consider these blockbusters: Partagas D3, Cohiba Siglo II, Cohiba Siglo IV, Cohiba Siglo VI, Montecristo #4

Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas

Official Policy on Cuban Cigars

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

As much as it pains me to do so, I would like to officially declare that the sale or trade of Cuban Cigars (ISOM’s) are not be discussed on this board. Please do so in private. I am not enacting this policy because of any particular post/thread. I simply want to keep this board a clean, fun place for everyone’s enjoyment. The bottom line is that Cigarsmokers.com is owned and operated in the United States and Cuban cigars are illegal here. Black market wares bring nothing but trouble.

If you would like to discuss an experience or post a review about a Cuban cigar, that is fine so long as it does not involve buying, selling, or trading with in the United States.

Sorry guys, but I'm not going to jeopardize this community or myself for the enjoyment of anyone.

As soon as it becomes apparent that the trade embargo has been lifted, or someone can prove to me that allowing these type of posts will not fall back on the forum, then this ban will be removed.

Thank you all for that input, it's good information.

CLS515, I apologize, for asking that question, I wasn't aware that I was crossing a threshold of sorts by doing so.

My question has good intentions.

Regards,

Mark

AndrewH - you should take the link off your post. Any discussion of ISOM sources, even if you're a Canadian, isn't good form.

Fainc07 - I don't think it was you that brought it up. I attribute that to SpiffyKyle. Some things are better left unsaid SpiffyKyle - but thank you for showing your smarts on the legality of Cuban cigars.

Fair enough Maui, I just wanted all to know that I hadn't any intentions of ruffling any feathers. I learned something new from the post, that's for sure :)

Stay cool in DC in the next month or two...I spent a summer out there when I was younger, and can remember sweating through my suit on the walk TO the office at 7:00 a.m. Plus, all the damned tourists muck up the Metro system :0

Cheers,

Mark
