    If you search for the trading with the enemy act you will find the law that says the possession of Cuban products, including cigars, is a violation of said law. Also, the US has personal jurisdiction over its citizens anywhere on the earth. Therefore, citizens cannot possess a Cuban cigar anywhere on the earth.

    That being said, do some research or contact these guys

    They are the certified Habanos S.A importer and distributor for Cuban cigars in Mexico. They should be able to point you to a shop where you can get real one.


    Edit - when I say search, I mean on this forum. I discussed this law a while ago.
    When I say research, I mean google the habanos S.A shops in Mexico. On the Iept.com.mx site they list a couple of stores, but it's all in spanish, which I don't speak.

    I searched Habanos SA, Mexico in google and found this La Casa Del Habano in Tijuana.

    Default Mexico makes a great smoke.

    When in Mexico you should seek out these, "Santa Clara 1830" there is also a nother brand called "Te Amo". Stay away from the Te Amos...They suck. I am sure you will like the Santa Claras- You can find them at any good smoke shop in the area you are staying. Try and stay away from all the places the rest of the folks from the US go. Ask around and see where the locals go to buy their sticks.

    I was turned on to these a fews years back when I was in Mexcio City. There is a chain of stores called...Sanbornes. They sell them there and the price is always fair. Buy a few singles and if you like em, pick up a box or two.

    Hope this helps...

    I'll have to agree with you spiffy, on both counts:
    1. Santa Clara 1830's are pretty tasty
    2. MaduroMan is a sneaky bastid who can't count worth a shit when doing trades.
