There was a really good sale (50% off) on Camacho pre embargo sticks a few weeks ago. Have any of you tried those? Apparently it's not very much pre embargo in there, but enough to know it's there.

I would like some advice from the more knowledgeable gentlemen active in this thread. My fiance is going to Turks and caicos at the end of the month. I want her to visit the cigar shop on the island that reportedly sells authentic, verified real, cuban cigars. Is there a particular brand/type I should ask for? Is it too risky, assuming she might get ripped off? I know the airport has a walk in humidor, but I'm not sure she could find the right ones there... thanks

Cuban cigars are one of the most counterfeited items.

Be wary

Only purchase from a reputable factory authorized retailer, I've come accross fakes at airport duty free shops

Be very very very carefull

Yea I'm kinda nervous. I read several online reviews of an authorized retailer on the island. The same shop runs the duty free at the airport. I found positive reviews online, from cigar afficianado, so I'm hoping everything works out. I wish I was going to make sure things went smoothly, but that's not the case. I found a top 10 list of Cubans, so I'll give her that to go by. Thanks for the input.

Let me start with

What's the obsession with Cubans?

What do you currently smoke?


i can help steer you in the right direction
With some input from you as far
As what you smoke
Like
And know about cigars in general

I'm relatively new. I have many, many cigars. The obsession is likely due to the rarity/exclusivity of a real cuban. My favorites so far have been padron 1964, 1926, family reserve 46 year, gurkha yakuza, man o war, rocky Patel 50th, aging room 101. I have a box of fuente opus x love affair, lost city, and god of war assortment of which I have yet to try.
