Oh, Canada- STICKER SHOCK!

Maybe us Americans should be bombing out Canadian brothers...

You can always order out of country correct? Cigars.com goes international and acme sites that remain unmentioned ship worldwide. So you should be able to get all te same smokes at the same prices we pay.

Only difference would be the local, correct?

Ordering tobacco from foreign vendors is hit or miss, customs takes a very dim view of it and the financial penalties imposed if your package is intercepted end up making the contents far more expensive than it would have been to just head down to your B&M and buy the sticks locally. There are some US based vendors that "play nicely" with the custom declaration forms, but none of the Cuban sources will anymore so they're basically useless to Canadian's.

BTW, the tales of $75 Esplendidos and $50 Monte #2's are either a bit tall or just a bad B&M that was trying to scalp American visitors. Those sticks are $37 - $40 and $30 range respectively in my local B&M. Still not cheap but certainly not what that B&M in Windsor apparently wanted for them.

See above, Canada Customs makes mail order a risky business.... as a customer it's hard to win at the boycott game when boycotting = smoke nothing at all.
