    I remember how big of a deal it was to get drunk when I was a teenager. Now that I'm in my 20's and can drink whenever I like it's not so exciting. Although I do have a bottle of absynth just because I'm not supposed to. I feel Cuban's are sought after because you're not supposed to have them. Some people have told me I haven't had a good Cuban, which could be true. The Cuban's I have had were given to me by people who I wouldn't really consider intelligent about cigars, so they may have been fakes or not cared for properly. But I still hold that it's not worth the potential fines, as dumb as the embargo is.

    I can walk down to my local tobacconist and all they sell is Cuban cigars. IMO, they ARE a big deal.

    Give me a $6 Cuban over a 6$ non-Cuban any day.

    I've had my fair share of cuban cigars, and I have to say there is a considerable difference. Quality, flavor, aroma - just all around different experience. I'm not saying cubans are the only thing worth smoking because that's obviously not true. But for the most part, in my opinion, you can't beat a good quality cuban. But I also agree that a lot of the hype is the forbidden fruit syndrome here in America ... that and the weed that's in there.
