[@brandinrobinson6999]

Hey what's your email got a few questions I wanted to ask. I'm headed to Cuba in January. ThankS

[@Caribbean_King]

This is awesome! I can't wait to follow suit with a trip to C U B A ! ! ! !

[@anotherwatch]

Great video. Always wanted to go to Cuba to get some Cigars and enjoy the culture.

[@alyemeni101]

How did you bring the cigars back into the USA? Was there any issues with US customs?

[@mv0697]

This is 4 years ago .. president Obama change the rules and trump change them back so at this point no you can’t… but here’s a little info if you go vinales which is about an hour and half ..as long as you are there to support the Cuba ppl and not the govt you can buy directly from grower and rollers and can bring as much as you can .. the have special lead wrapping in a bundle of 50 ..those are recognized by customs and are allowed .. the difference is your not paying for a name versus cigars without bands or boxes to show off that you brought Cubans

[@sgreen2662]

Awesome Thanks I can’t wait to visit

[@jllopez787]

What a fantastic video, that's a dream of mine to one day go and buy Cuban cigars. My only question is how much did you spend lol.

[@ezmemes9616]

what was the cost of each box? i'm thinking of doing a trip to cuba but have no clue how much each box would set me back by.

[@paulbutter1317]

Great video thx for the info going out there Feb 18 for week. Have to go and stock my humidor with more goodies lol I'm staying right by 5th and 16 . Is it hard to pick up some limited edition cigars?

[@vinniehandymanllc7053]

I’m going to Cuba feb how many cigars I can bring back from Cuba - canada-usa in nyc

[@rickydrone9274]

Cool trip!! Been smoking cigars for a long time. I'll bet you that the fresh rolled from that lady was awesome. If I were to go, I would find a roller like her. Then, if I liked the taste, draw, size, etc., cut a deal with her for about 100 or 200. Then, get a receipt for a price that would sound reasonable to customs....lol.

[@rrwhitbread13]

Great Vlog. Be also great if you could list in the description, the cigar shops you visited.

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

Hi Richard, shops in this video were 5y16, El Aljibe, and Hemingway Marina. It varies each trip! Thanks for watching.

[@bigboybrian2311]

Loved your vlog my man! Could you post a few more details like what airline flies out to Cuba from ft. Lauderdale and maybe the air b&b you stayed at. Would really appreciate it!

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

LA HOMEGUY Thanks! Your best luck is going to be SW out of FTL but Delta, AA, and Jetblue fly from there to Havana. Here is the link to the AirBNB I stayed at in this video in Miramar! Thanks for watching! abnb.me/56BfRkPZoO

Did you carry on your cigar boxes or did you check them?

The Modern Day Drifter thank you

[@225Mac]

Great vids! I’ve only had 1 Cohiba and I enjoyed it! Travel is so crazy now, not sure how I can get my hands on one again. May have to look into going back to Jamaica again…..

[@adamg5939]

Just come to Canada, we have Cubans

[@beatacollazo6034]

Do you happen to know Cuba cigar shops operating hours? Are they open late? Are they open sundays? We are arriving Saturday afternoon and leaving Sunday evening. Trying to plan accordingly. Thank you!!!

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

It's dependent but I would say most in Cuba open around 10am and close about 6pm. Some will stay open later but 6pm is a good cut off point. Most are open 7 days a week as well however close a little earlier on weekends.

[@beatacollazo6034]

Thank u very much great video very helpful I will b in Havana next week, to bring home a lot of cigars

[@jeddeagleton4642]

Joe! How much did all the cigars from the first shop set you back??

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

Too much!

[@beatacollazo6034]

Great video! Big cigars fan! First time in Cuba this March. What top few places to buy cigars would you recommend? Have you been at kempinski hotel at the Cohiba shop? Who is this Carlos guy? Love learning the history and special places when I travel. Do you tip the shops? I have heard Cubans income per month is $35. Thank you.

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

La Quinta 5y16 LCDH has the most selection imo. Any of the large hotels like Nacional, Habana Libre, and Melia Cohiba are available. Off the grid, you can do El Aljibe or Hemingway Marina. Carlos Robaina is the son of Alejandro Robaina. One of the farms in the Pinar Del Rio region where the best tobacco is said to be grown. Yes, we do but its not expected. We do it as a courtesy for their help and it's always good to help! Thanks for watching!

[@beatacollazo6034]

@@TheModernDayDrifter thank you so much for such detailed info. I will definitely use your references. This is extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@sunnydays1238]

what are the names of the cigar shops you went too? The one on the middle looks like Hotel Melia Havana?

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

Typically make my way to 5y16, Melia, Hemingway, Nacional or Libre. Thanks for watching!

[@akramlaklasse5439]

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

@@rmante06 Sounds like outdated info. Keep searching!

[@rickydrone9274]

@@TheModernDayDrifter : Yep! Years ago(about 15), I had ordered two boxes of inexpensive cigars from Switzerland. When the package came through customs, they opened it. When the cigars arrived at my home, it was re-packaged with the red customs tape and a note saying it was inspected by customs. But, it only contained one box. I guess the customs gang kept the other box to see, if they were indeed real cuban cigars by a smoking test......lol. Had to be one of the funniest experiences I ever had smoking those wonderful "Habanas".......lol.

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

@@rickydrone9274 Happens more often than not. Stay smokey my friend!

[@31Bertd]

Did you pick up any Behike or seen them being sold in a Habanos shop? I heard these were limited in quantities there.

[@TheModernDayDrifter]

Limited meaning you'll probably never see more than a loose single there. No boxes.

[@aliahmod3495]

do u know any bangali people in cuba if yes pz give me reply thanks a lot

[@qsiconsulting7680]

It would be nice to gvie prices of the boxes you bought so that viewers can get a baseline of LCDH store prices vs global LCDH store prices.

[@newanimedvd]

Great cigar haul, price is best in the world, if you buy from LCDH instead of the street, it’s the real deal, the money exchange at the airport is definitely a scam, they only short me 50 euro, then I gave him 10 cuc to break into singles for tipping, he gave me 8 back, greedy a hole, my friend has the same ripoff, short 100, think they do it to almost every tourist, you don’t seemed to be bothered by it,that’s good vibe, too bad they only have the regular production Habanos, went to 4 LCDH, no LE grand reserva, price is unbeatable

[@anthonywilson4696]

Are those athletes Cuban cigars

[@ctripps1224]

I thought you're only allowed to bring back 100.00 worth? That looked like 1,000 worth lol

[@debbieebbert2555]

C Tripps guys like this are the reason why you most likely will never see Cuba without a year worth of planning with a church group now and maybe not for another 5 years if the current admin wins again
