How do you get Cubans into the states? I’m going in August and would like to bring some back.

@Hengoed sorry but im back in San FranSHITHOLE for the month. Go to the LA Casa Del Habano in Cancun it's in the hotel zone. When you come in you will see a rolling table to your immediate left. If you see Reinaldo there working ask him for his D4 And robusto. Try some of his other custom rolls. He will show you the cabinet at the back of the shop with his customs

@georgigeorgiev-ei4or all about fucking taxes. Im not saying there shouldn't be tax bc shit has to be funded. The problem I have is assigning ultra high tax to punish those unfairly and then hiding behind some bullshit excuse like " smoking causes more strain on healthcare" when NONE OF THE TOBACCO TAX goes to any discount in health insurance. I for one an sick of politicians and would like to see term limits of 4 years and then you're done!

You compare guantanamera with forsencas and cuaba? Guantanamera are Machine made cigars that's why they do not have the stickers habanos but they have the sticker Cuba.

Habanos SA has the hold. Look, there are much better sticks out there. The quality of Cuban cigars has gone way down, given that everything is nationalized and marketed by Habanos. This is to be expected. Bad weather and lousy growing conditions have also reduced the quality. Skip it! It's not worth the money in any way. I will smoke a Fuente any day over a Cuban.

@andrewgrossman9899 you smoke what you like. Just for perspective. I started out smoking Fuentes, buyung into that hype. I've been to the Fuente factory, smoked cigars with Carleton Fuente in his office. If you like Fuentes or Liga then smoke what you enjoy but don't bother trying to down play habanos bc that's no different than me down playing Fuentes or other brands. Ita not going to affect what you spend your money on to enjoy what you like smoking

Lol this bubble has got to burst at some point ... even with the Super Rich Mons occasionally buying a box or 2, there's no way this extremely slow turnaround of inventory is benefiting Habanos SA. I'm no economist, but I bet they will feel the hurt in 2-3 years.

This is how you teach any business a good lesson, when you stop being sick in your mind and stop buying cuban cigars they will put down the price all away down just to make a living , but since all these crazy people still buying this shit they will get more greedy, whats wrong with Dominican, nicaraguan , Honduran cigars? I roll my own and i love it
@KimoKapaku
@KimoKapaku 4 күн бұрын
@blueglue79 the problem with your statement and rationale is that it is from a perspective of something that is am everyday or common necessity. If you check the sales numbers from Habanos SA you will see that their sales are up. Since they cater to a higher end market do you think that because the price is outaode of the average smoker of cuban cigars that Habanos will see a decrease in sales? That's like saying Rolex, adamar Piguet and Patek philipe will drop their prices bc their prices are 2 high and people will stop buying them and those companies will drop their prices.

At what point does this insanity end? I got a box of Upm mag 46 for $450 in March and now they’re $750+. It looks like from the stock in duty free people are starting to look to alternatives. It seems like Cuba is overplaying their hand and it’s going to bite them. The places I get them seem to have a lot more in stock since the last hike so where do you see this going???
