I need to pick up a pack of Backwoods, it has been far too long without one.

I don't like how easily they fall apart.

funky sent me a legit cuban monte for one of our secret santa exchanges. that thing knocked me on my butt.

This thread cries out for the return of Funky.

I'm a pipe tobacco fan. I've got a few nice briar pipes* and a few nice blends from a tobacconist 600 miles away(...). I've been meaning to pick up a nice meerschaum pipe.

However, I do enjoy a cigar from time to time. I prefer the milder tobaccos, but I managed to secure a nice Cuban. I'm not quite an aficionado, but it was a very enjoyable smoke. Personally, I prefer Romeo y Julietas and, for something a bit more flavored, Acids.

*My favorite being a smooth billiard Peterson System with a straight stem, army mount and P-Lip. Terrific on-the-go pipe! :)

From page one, fella.

Also, I was at a local tobacco shop that was selling Cuban Cohibas. I asked about the embargo, and the salesman said that if you are a Cuban or half Cuban (???), you can legally bring two boxes of Cubans back with you over the border. I have a fair amount of skepticism, and that seems like a very convoluted loophole, but they were just selling them out in the open. Mayhaps fakes?

He means there's this thing called an edit button and if you get another idea you wish you could have just added to the previous post you can just click the edit button and add it instead of posting again.

Because they aren't legal, at all, no matter what they are for or how you got them. The only way they are legal is if they were already here before the embargo. If you are American, it is also illegal to buy or smoke them outside of the U.S.

idk man i buy cubans online. its the only place i can find them. i was imformed of them being legal for personal use only. not commercial.

You were misinformed.

There is a total ban on the importation into the United States of Cuban-origin cigars and other Cuban-origin tobacco products.

...Similarly, the import ban extends to Cuban-origin cigars and other Cuban-origin tobacco products offered for sale over the Internet or through a catalog.

It is also illegal for U.S. persons to buy, sell, trade, or otherwise engage in transactions involving illegally-imported Cuban cigars. The penalties for doing so include, in addition to confiscation of the cigars, civil fines of up to $55,000 per violation and in appropriate cases, criminal prosecution which may result in higher fines and/or imprisonment.
