Cigar Smokers of Getbig

[El Diablo Blanco]

is it legal to bring Cuban cigars across from mexico?

No, but chances are any Cuban cigar purchased in Mexico is going to be a knock off fake so in reality it's not even a cuban.  There are only a handfull of legit resellers name La Casa Del habanos that are ran by the Cuban distribution company.  Problem is there was an asshole that worked at the one in TJ who stole from people years back.  You'd grab a legit box of montes off of the shelf, go to the cash and pay and as he went to put the box in a bag, he'd pull and old switcheroo and grab a fake box he brought in and put it in the bag.  Most loser americans didn't know the diff until he tried to ripoff a man in the know and they busted his ass.

Sorry to tell you that 99% of "cuban" cigars sold in mexico are knock offs.

Just check out this site.  www.justfakes.com.  You can litteraly buy a $10 box of cigars and turn them into a $400 dollar box.

Just got a Cao Brazilia as a present. Smells great, can't wait to light it. Not today though: storms and cigars don't mix.

I can see a new smoker not wanting to spring for a humidor.  The bags are a good option but you'd probably do just as well with a ziplock.  Tbh, I don't see anything wrong with a 10 cent jar, provided he doesn't have the sponge in direct contact with the cigars. 

Trailer Approved.

The bags have the little humidfier pouches inside them and are way thicker, and they are cheap. I don't see why someone would spend good money on smokes then store them in a little jar with a sponge.

Depends on how many he's buying at a time.  I know I like smoking, probably a little too much, so I spent for a good sized box that looks nice in the living room and can accomodate a big order.  Looking pretty hollow at the moment, sadly.

I got a nice 50 count box and didn't pay that much compared to the cigars I put in it.

I bought two CAO's that are now sitting in their wrapper and waiting for me :-D



The other day I downed a Romeo Y Julieta Churchill - was damn good!

What type of CAO? Looks like I'll be huffing my first CAO tonight. Smells great; really heavy, creamy, and chocolaty.

They're both CAO Cameroon!


Enjoy brotha, can't wait to light mine up!

The wife is already heating up the cognac, so I can get started as soon as I get home.

I was just given a box of Tabak Especial Toro Dulce for my birthday.  Delicious.

The Cuaba Exclusivo from Cuba.  Amazing smoke if you prefer something smoother and less aggressive, as I frequently do.  Mid price, mid size perfecto/torpedo.  Longest smoke I've ever had.  The thing just wouldn't sour.  Only had one but have ordered 10 more and see a box in my future.  This could be my new go-to cigar.  I was that impressed.

The Padron range.  Nicaraguan, so available in the US.  Only tried 2 from their standard range (Panatella and the 7000) but was impressed and have ordered a few more.  Didn't suffer at all from the usual one dimensional taste of non-Cubans, so my veulta abajo snobbishness is no more after these.

Ramon Allones.  Cuban.  Their specially selected/selecion especial continues to appeal to me when I want something a little earthier and with some bite to it.

I have given up on my Punch. Their tobacco is awesome but the idiots have basically forgotten how to roll.  Draw issues have forced me to look elsewhere.  I have recently had to return 16 petits, and their flagship Punch Punch is so hit & miss it feels more like gambling than buying a good cigar.


What are you reaching for these days?
