One thing that I'd really like to try would be a pre-embargo Cuban, especially after reading the history of cigars that was linked above. Are those legal in the US (I'm just currious, since I'm in Canada and Cuban isn't a four letter word here.)?

Does anyone know where I might acquire one?


I am not sure on the specifics, but I am pretty sure Christie's auctions cigars (maybe once a year?).

Other than that, you may have to find a specialty shop. Maybe Dunhill in London or a vendor has them around. Be prepared to pay the price though.

Pre-embargo Cubans really don't have a market in Canada because after almost 50 years, they are usually dried out turds. There isn't any sort of mystique here.
