The worst part? "Customs officials say they plan to incinerate the cigars in a blast furnace."

Well that sucks.... I'm glad I never bought into the mystique that is Cuban cigars. The Nicaraguan cigar market is just as good and half as expensive...

I have a feeling that there will be plenty of these cigars that are destroyed one at a time with a very slow burn.

For the record I would like to volunteer to become a human "blast furnace" for any seized illegal Cuban cigars. I am free evenings and weekends and will volunteer for 8 hour shifts. The only perks I require is a bottle of scotch (18 years or older) and a reclining chair.
