Bourbonmakesmepoop Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Does anyone know when we will be able to get Cuban cigars in the US now that the embargo has been lifted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModestGlutton Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) meh, your not really missing out on much. Given that a lot of great stuff is coming from different regions besides some very old cigars, they aren't going to be pure Cuban tobacco anyways. Edited April 21, 2017 by ModestGlutton I make less mistakes when I'm not sober....go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1gcountry Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'll take Nashville or Chicago women over anywhere I've been in FL. Plus St Louis is home to my wife, and she wins the race hands down.Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 My daughter brought me some Cubans when she returned from a Caribbean trip last fall. Some Cohibas, and Bolivars. I still prefer a quality hand rolled Nicaraguaian like an A J Fernandez but it is a cool curio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she was on a cruise, more than likely non-factory I gave up on Cuban cigars right around 2000; got tired of dropping +$300 and only having 50% -65% of the box being good and the beetles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no tobacco flavor like cuban but I've seen and experienced so many quality control issues (roll, beetles, mold[not plume], etc.) and the rising prices keep me away. Lots of nice Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican cigars out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have been enjoying some Padron Maduro cigars with my bourbon after dinner. So since I have never tried a real Cuban cigar, which brand comes close? To me it’s like hearing about the famous Pappy Van Winkle for $2700 that I probably won’t be buying( I can’t afford), there are plenty of other brands to choose from and enjoy. There must be good non Cuban cigars that are rated just as high. Any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havanahead Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I would consider a Partagas Series D Robusto! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
