"The 2 opened boxes and 30 + loose sticks you decide to smoke on appropriate occasions. But the sealed boxes ?" Smoke the open ones first and when you're done open up one of the sealed boxes and smoke them and decide whether or not it is worth saving for collection's sake. You have to at least...

I've never been to Cuba. If you buy from the "Government Store", do they have the SKU/bar codes on them or are they not that up to date on technology?

Friend brought a box of Montecristo No 4 back from Cuba. No date on the bottom of the box. I said they are fake. Your thoughts?

LA as in Lakers. Okay, thanks. I just wanted to confirm that the price paid was the going market rate. Yup, Canada's taxes are horrible. I'll save that topic for the political forums.

My sister is in LA and she is bringing me a box of Arturo Fuente Petit Corona. Can you guys tell me how much a box of these are at your local stores? She paid $130 for 15. Looking at the prices on the internet they are going for a lot less than that for a box of 25. It's too late to get her...

I think it would be interesting to see how the name game would play out since the American cigar companies are already have the rights to the names of the Cuban cigar lines.

Looks like the Embargo may not be lifted any time soon. Do you think lifting the embargo on Cuba help enhance the quality of Cuban Cigars or would the quality deteriorate? ________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ By EDUARDO...

Alright, thank you. I will post no more of these questions and I will not respond to any more replies on this thread. If I get jumped and beaten, it's my fault. My apologies.

Since one of the sponsors of this site is Cuban Lou I take it that they are a legit company and reliable? By the way, I am from Canada. If this is a no-no question let me know. Thanks.

The cop is getting a lot of flack for this and he doesn't even make the same money these athletes do. Cops put their lives on the line every day and for what? Seriously, how much does this guy love his mother-in-law? If you knew your mother-in-law was going to die in a few minutes and someone...

Yes, so far the best answer to my question was the Trinidad Reyes. Just looking for a Sig I substitute. With all the posts about how there are a lot of great non CC's I'm sure there must be a few that taste similar. Well, it may be that MMBurtch and Grateful1 are right. Thanks for suggestions.

OMG! Tell me you live in Toronto! Maybe we can be friends and you can bring me back a box of Cohiba's the next time you go? ;)

Wow, only 2 suggestions. RASC which I've tried and Padron 1926 Serie No. 35. I'll pick up a Padron and give it a try. I was hoping there would be more suggestions.

I've tried these so far and I've put them in order of "MY" preference: Cohiba Siglo I (will substitute with Trinidad Reyes - very similar in taste) Trinidad Reyes (Will carry these in humidor for sure) Montecristo #5 Romeo Y Julieta Tubos 1 Ramon Allones Small Club Corona Partagas Coronas...

I have found a suitable substitute for the Cohiba Siglo I. It is the Trinidad Reyes. Not much of a price difference. Taste is very similar. If you're ever in Cuba or Canada, give these a try.
