There are so many great cigars legally obtained that I have found no need to use sites like Cuban Cigars to obtain them. I am quite pleased with Oliva Serie V torpedos, Rocky Patel Decade and Camacho 1962s on the less expensive side and Padron 1964 and 1926, Fuente God Of Fire on the more expensive side.

I started out smoking Cuban cigars. I was given a humidor and some RyJ churchills. then I went into a three way box purchase trying different cuban brands.
it did get to be expensive but I've gotten to try quite a few brands.
now that I'm broke, I'm trying to get the feel between DR, NIC and HON cigars.
it's just that the B&M stores here can get expensive buying singles.

I tend to agree with you dmk005. I'm a huge fan of the Nicaraguan and Dominican makers of cigars. I was impressed with some cuban cigars, but they aren't in my opinion worth it to go all out for. I like having them, but they certainly aren't a necessity.

Cheers.

Zach

They (customs) will usually just confiscate the smokes. Definitely breaking the law bringing in Cubans like that but it is not illegal to have them at home.



Actually. It is illegal for any US Citizen to buy, sell, trade or possess any Cuban goods. The only people who can have them are Cuban refugees that have obtained permission to bring back a certain amount of Cuban goods but they must keep those goods and not give them to other US Citizens.

Bill, its the 26th of June, but you should expect something from me if you have the audacity to bomb me again.

. Btw, do you still have an affinity for craft brews? If so, let me know and I'll hook you up with some of the wares from Appalachian Brewing Company. Not the best, but not a bad beer either, well worth a try.

Cheers!



Zach, I rarely drink anything now. I still have a ton of beer in my fridge that I have not touched. Thanks for the offer though.

As for Cubans, anyone that wants a legit cheap CC site PM me.

Thats definitely a proper celebratory cigar, Bill.

I just started smoking a Camacho Select, which I believe you sent, unless I've gotten my bombs mixed up. So far I'm really pleased with the flavor profile. Its woody, but aromatic at the same time. I'm only about half an inch in, but its looking like it will be a good smoke before work. I'm saving the Opus X for my birthday, when I'll pair it with a big bottle of Three Philosophers I've been aging for a few months.

Cheers and happy smoking!

Glad you are enjoying the Camacho. It is one of my favorite Cameroon smokes.

The Opus would make a good birthday cigar if you have never had one. I think the one I gave you had some age on it as well.

I will burn the ESG for my birthday.

Tomorrow should be a good day too. Will post pics if all goes well.

A wonderful Friday night during a thunderstorm with a light show that would rival a Pink Floyd concert gave a great time to enjoy a great San Cristobal.

Saturday was hotter and I smoked a quick LA Leoninos. Not a great nor bad smoke. Something to keep for yard work or give out to the non-cigar smokers who want to join you. IE it won't turn them away for being a dog rocket.
