Just wanted to again thank everyone for suggestions. We got back with our stash of cigars just fine. I tried to buy one each of what everyone suggested. I had my first Cuban last night. It was a Montecristo. WOW! I hope all the others will be this good. I don't have the list right with me right...

I got mine on Thursday, after ordering them in late Feb or the 1st week March.

My monte's and St luis rey both came on Wednesday. I think I ordered these back in Late febuary or 1st week of March. So it took a while. Pretty cigars, probably let them wait for 4-6 months while I smoke some other cigars that I have.

Ordered mine right after Triple D still no cc charge, but no cigars yet either!

Good suggestion on something to keep them from banging around. plan on using some bubblewrap and peanuts to keep them from moving. I am looking forward to buying some really nice cigars on this vacation.

I am going on a cruise and was considering using a gladware container to take a few cigars with me as well as to bring some home using the humidistick or someother type of humidifier. What do you think. I will be bring home about 25 cigars, but it has to be small and compact. Any ideas? It is to...

Tony Bones and Emodex, Thanks for the suggestions. This is what I am looking for. Just some really nice smokes to bring home. Do you think it would be best to remove the bands and put them in the travel case to bring home or have them shipped from St Marteen? I will be buying these at the LA...

Still looking for recommended brands to try as well as the best way to get thme back home. Any suggestions would be great!

If you haven't cruised before, it seems pretty simple to bring them back. You put your luggage out by midnight on the last night and they take it down into the hold. Then when you dock, the luggage is off-loaded, through customs and is setting in this large open room for you when you get off the...

I have a similar post going on the discussion board. Hope some of you can help me. I will be on a cruise next month visiting St Maarteen. I know that I need to go to the La Casa Del Habano to ensure that I will get authentic Cubans. I will be going to the one on the Dutch side. My favorite...

I will most likely be at the one on the dutch side. This one will be the easiest to get to as I know where it is at. I still need suggestions for which brands to look at. I like Ashton VSG the best and then the CAO anniversaire cameroon, to give you ideas of what I like now. I still need brands...

Ok couple of more questions, 1. What would you reccomend to purchase at the las casa del habanos? I will be visitng one in in St Marteen. 2. How much should I expect to pay? 3. Is there a safe way to get them back with me? Thanks

I had not tried any truly premium smokes till the Ashton VSG. Now I can see what all the hype is about. Before this my favorite all time was a CAO la Anniversaire Cameroon. Then I had the VSG. What a smoke. What other types of cigars are similar? I sure can't afford 8-10 dollars a stick all the...

I will be cruising in the Caribbbean on Memorial Day and wanted to buy a nice box of cigars. 1. Can I buy them there cheaper than in the USA. 2. How can I tell counterfeit Cuban from the real thing. 3. How can I get them home in good condition? We will be visiting SanJuan, St. Maarten and St...

I could not personally recommend Thompson's. I had a problem that they were unwilling and rather obnoxious about taking care of the problem. The humi I got from them would not hold humidity at all and they refused to accept a return even though that had a money back guarantee. be cautious.

OK Here is the horror story of mine. As a new smoker and before I found CP, I thought the combo pack looked good. So I ordered one. It came with a nice looking humidor and 25 of Thompson Phoenix robustos with a money back guarantee on the cigars. It also came with a free cap and a single carry...

CohibaSurfer, Hey Bro, Thank You so much for your generous gift! It was way beyond the call of duty. I really appreciate it so much. I think it should have been the other way around. I again thank you for the help and I will definately use what you talked about in my next pass! I will also let...

I am so glad to see the pass back on track. I think I may be responsible for all the value discussions ongoing. I took the VSG and replaced with the Padron Magnum. There were some who thought the quality was not equal. As I professed earlier I didn't know tht much about the various brands...

OOH, AAH, I am so excited!! I can't wait to try S&M, I never had that before! CohibaSurfer, Thanks so much for the help, info and guidance. Even sometimes when you might feel you didn't get through to someone, you may have! I appreciate the comments to get me going in the right direction. I...

I just want everyone to see that the new guys can have fun and hopefully make a successful pass. I almost bought another of the magnums. It is huge. I could not even zip the baggie closed it was sticking all the way out the end. It wouldn't fit in my humidor though. It must take 3 hours to smoke...
