You do unless you want to risk VERY expensive tariffs/duties/fines being applied by the friendly customs agent to your shipment of chocolate from Switzerland. Especially considering the Swiss have recently changed their shipping guidelines the odds of packages making it through customs and into Canada unaffected are less and less.

I've never heard that. I did, however, read a claim once (but only once) that most if not all pre-embargo wrappers were sun-grown instead of shade-grown.

I have been told by several folks that the Cubans are now importing tobacco because they simply don't have enough for all the cigars they produce. Not sure if this is true, but it kinda makes sense. Then again, could just be sour grapes from folks who can't get Cuban cigars.........

One of the owners of a shop I frequent in Germany has mentioned that they fear that when the US embargo is finally lifted, Europe will no longer be be able to obtain CCs because they will all go to the states.

It's a good rumor for the NC producers to have out there, but anyone can claim anything, regardless of a lack of proof. It's very unlikely that Cubatabaco is going to file a lawsuit for libel in the US. Last edited by T.G; 03-09-2010 at 01:35 PM. |

Cuba has enough tobacco for the cigars they produce; this is because their production is limited by the tobacco. They only produce cigars if they can make them. They are preparing for a possible "sudden demand increase" (ahem) by testing and approving new fields for planting, so they do still have a good bit of potential for growth in production. At least that's my interpretation of the information. |

I heard that everything that fails drawtest doesn't go back to be reworked, it really goes into a special storage area just waiting for your order to come in.
I'd start airboarding the fish if I were you, they must be in cahoots with the manufacturer and vendors. |

The embargo is not going anywhere. But if it ever does get lifted, have fun looking for legit cigars, or cigars that are made well for that matter ![]() |

I agree. Add taxes on top of that and the em-bar-geaux going away would be a terrible thing.

Honestly I don't want to see the embargo end from a cigar buying point of view. They're a lot cheaper than domestics. Now for the Cuban people, yes I would.
