[@ahmedtarek7722]

Enjoy man, your taste in humidors is just lovely, i am new to the cigar adventure, so thanks for the show ❤

[@DaveZigars]

Thanks so much! I need to post an update. It’s an evolving display and I have boxes dating back to 2018 and some new stuff. Glad you enjoyed this and hope you continue to enjoy the cigar adventure!

[@scottlucidi6476]

Well done, dude. Great stash.

[@DaveZigars]

Thanks dude! Glad you appreciated it!

@@DaveZigars I'm in my infancy. I have 130 Vegueros brewing from 2022 to now born on dates, and I'm buying 10 good ones at a time now every 2 mos or so. Your sticks are in the GO zone now, so much respect to the build.

[@DaveZigars]

@@scottlucidi6476 Some of the stuff I have I picked up in 2019 with 2018 box dates so yeah, I am pretty fortunate. Especially when you look at today’s pricing. The Cohibas were $405 a box in 2022 and the unopened box I got in August of 2023 was $1,750. 😳

Lovely collection and humidor, thanks for showing

[@DaveZigars]

Thank you very much 🙏❤️

[@CigarsPrimo]

Waiting on the annual humidor tour video!! Any new boxes?

[@DaveZigars]

I’m sorry for the long delay in responding to this. You’re right, I need a follow up tour. I have a lot of the same stuff and haven’t added many Havana’s since the prices changed to the Asian market value. I’ve added another box of Opus X and finally opened the other box I picked up in 2019. I have only added and smoked a handful of boxes (Foundation Melenik and Olmec and a couple of boxes of Feral Flying Pig from Liga Privada and a ton of singles here and there. But I’ll post one soon!

It's like walking into a cigar shop ahha Amazing collection!!

[@DaveZigars]

Thanks so much. I am definitely spoiled. Have a great day!

[@Mungkee97]

Great collection!

Thank you very much 🙏

[@CrosbysCorner]

Very nice collection, brother. Bolivar fan as well. I'm waiting on the freakin' Cuban prices to drop so I can grab some more. Love the humidor, man.

[@DaveZigars]

Thank you so much brother! I’m a big fan of the Vegueros too. Superb cigar and most reasonable Cuban on the market. Give them a try bro. Thanks again!

[@scottlucidi6476]

Just need some upmann 50s and some hoyo de monterrey epicure 2s, and you'll be a habanos shop!

[@DaveZigars]

Thanks so much. I had a box of each but they were only 10’s and I smoked them too fast lol. I had some Trinidad Vigia’s also. Prices being 4x what they were 18 months ago are forcing me to hold on to what I have much longer than I’d like to.

[@scottlucidi6476]

@@DaveZigars I feel ya. 32 a cigar is a bit crazy. But it almost makes it more appealing, tbh. Your Bolivar top row is something I'd draw from before a Cohiba, tbh. Those are so smooth

[@DaveZigars]

@@scottlucidi6476 Bolivar is my favorite. Smooth and spicy and I grab them every chance I can. I just opened the petit coronas and love those when I don’t have a lot of time for a smoke.

[@CigarVillage]

Great collection. Are there any trusted websites that you'd recommend to buy habanos cigars

[@DaveZigars]

Thanks very much! I used to go to Cuban Lou’s and Cigar Terminal and have always had great success. Cuban Lou’s ships for free but their inventory is always really low on most major brands and large sized cigars. I haven’t ordered since the pricing increase because it’s just not worth it unfortunately. I have picked up stuff when I travel though.

[@CigarVillage]

[@IvanRossS]

Dang. How often you smoke ?? Once a month ??

[@DaveZigars]

Daily this time of year.

[@Dash_Akol]

Wonderful collection, where do u buy habanos?

[@DaveZigars]

Some from traveling and some from online vendors such as cigar terminal.com and cubanlous.com.

[@PapaBro-po9jd]

Dave out in Abu Dhabi on business and just started smoking Cubans. I'm slightly unsure if I am allowed to bring any back home with me to the US. Can you let me know what your experience has been?

[@DaveZigars]

Great question. Technically it is illegal. There was a period of time under the Obama administration where the US relaxed trade restrictions with Cuba for common travel and small dollar amounts. That allowed for import of up to 100 cigars per traveler regardless of where they imported from (Cuba directly, or any international destination that sold Cuban tobacco). However the Trump administration removed that capability so it is technically illegal to import any Cuban goods regardless of dollar amount. The gray area is that this isn’t a strictly enforced law. Customs is more concerned about more significant forms of contraband and smuggling. Therefore you’re more than likely to get by without any concern unless you are traveling for an extended period of time and elect to not claim any goods for import. My suggestion is to always declare “something” even if just small trinkets, a bottle of alcohol, or something that is relatively known to be a “great deal” in the country being visited that most travelers often seek to bring back. Doing so presents more openness to a customs agent when performing a quick Q/A screening and in most cases you’ll pass right through. Worst case, they are stringent and perform a search and your cigars are confiscated. However depending on the quantity that may not even happen. Another option is to ask the proprietor if they ship to the US. Some may do so and will guarantee the shipment. Thus if they get seized the vendor will simply resend them at no additional cost.

[@PapaBro-po9jd]

Awesome, this is the most comprehensive explanation I have read the current operating environment of Cubans in the US. Thanks so much!

[@DaveZigars]

@@PapaBro-po9jd My pleasure and safe travels to Abu Dhabi.

[@m.k.k.4931]

Damn those C Robustos must have been around $1300 by now...

[@DaveZigars]

Got those on a recent trip to Greece and $1,650 was the going rate duty free = I'm an idiot. 😃

[@Daylightv]

​@@DaveZigarswhat was the shops name?

[@DaveZigars]

@@Daylightv It was duty free in in Athens. I would have never bought them, my wife did. I got a text alert from my bank at like 3 AM asking if I was making the purchase. I was like, oh, that’s not a bad price, but I didn’t realize that she paid for part of it on one card and the larger portion on another 😳

Cubans have been dead since the price hikes imo

[@DaveZigars]

The price hikes have been unfortunate but the lesser known brands remain relatively the same cost and are just as good as they’ve always been.

[@DESCENDINGDR]

I have been buying Cubans for many years from several sellers. I heard about the 'price increase' that everyone seems to be upset about- but when did this occur? I might be living under a rock but haven;t noticed a huge price increase...

[@DaveZigars]

@@DESCENDINGDR For the most part, Cohiba tripled or quadrupled in prices. If they're available at all. In 2022 I bought a box of Robusto's for $400 (+/- a few bucks) and just a couple of months ago they were $1,600. If you're buying from online retailers, make sure they're legit because I don't know any of the ones I shop with and rely on that haven't adjusted the pricing. Of course cigarillos are unchanged - anything in a 48 and above ring gauge has seen huge increases (popular brands anyway).

[@DESCENDINGDR]

Cohiba Robustos are $563 USD delivered in the USA from my favorite online seller. That's today's price! So, why there is such a commotion about Cuban prices is still baffling to me...

[@SandroMagna]

​@@DESCENDINGDRwhich seller is that? I'll take a couple of boxes.

Hi Dave, I sent you an email, maybe it is in the spam🥲

Hi June - Apologies - I need to email you my address to send the humidor for review. I've been away and just getting back to daily activities.
