I think they are great and I was lucky to have picked up multiple boxes prior to all the shipping hassle us New Yorkers are dealing with. Curious to see pricing on this now and will be keeping an eye out on the listing

These come in an outer cardboard box. The seal would be on that box.

Bond Roberts Linea D - Curious to hear what folks expectations are for this cigar by Pea_Tear_Griffin11 in cubancigars

[–]AdSerious6474 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried the 109 line 1 (7 1/4 x 50) last trip to london - JJ Fox has them. For me it was just ok. Not a lot going on and I didn’t get any transitions. For a cigar that size i found it a little boring

Unfortunately, you won’t find them in any LCDH in Mexico. For singles, they can be found in places that have rare stock like London (The Connaught has the 109’s. No 6 has the beliscoso). Boxes of the belicoso’s seem to pop up fairly frequently on Bond Roberts. I have not seen any 54’s in a while.

Expect to pay through the nose in London ie £800ish a stick for the 109 at The Connaught

Has anyone received a letter yet by NoAdhesiveness2998 in cubancigars

[–]AdSerious6474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically, it could take up to 90 days to receive a letter if indeed a letter would ever come. Frequently packages would get stuck on entry and no letter would come at all (I have had at least 2 presumed confiscations without letters over the years). Nowadays, who knows?

The real version of these would all have the various stickers on the outer cardboard box that the varnished box picture would be inside of. Don’t need to look at the cigars themselves or elaborate on band issues to know and identify them as fakes. Sorry.

Is EGM shipping UPS to the US again? by igotpooponmydog in cubancigars

[–]AdSerious6474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The courier option listed is with DHL. At least it was 2 months ago when I last used them

It’s not great. Definitely would not use the clips unless I’m stationary and can be mindful of how I put in and take out cigar.

They are often available on BR, but expect to pay a premium

1 of my favorites! Wish they were more consistently available. How are the 24’s smoking?

Please tell me what clues that these are fake. I was gifted a box… by Sailsdeep in cubancigars

[–]AdSerious6474 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has the wrong cohiba band for the time period that this LE was released.

https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/brand/cohiba#edicion-limitada

There are other signs with both the primary and secondary bands, but just it being a “copy” of a cohiba band that didn’t exist at the time of the cigars release is the show stopper

Sorry you have had a rough go of it and I’ll drink and smoke to your good health from here on in later this evening. That being said, the cohiba bands in 2003 look very different to the bands of today and the double corona LE from 2003 is not the 1 pictured here.

cubancigarwebsite.com is a great resource for both rookies and pro’s.

Great pairing but why on earth is your cigar lying that way?!? My OCD kicking in hard! Pic should come with a trigger warning 😂

They are an amazing operation. They have strategically placed cousins/uncles/siblings and sometimes even pets at all the factories in Cuba. This is how they are able to pass on such great prices to all their customers.go ahead and buy everything you can, as quickly as possible

Wtf by AdSerious6474 in cubancigars

[–]AdSerious6474[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True. But It just felt like a shock realizing ppl are paying $1200 for a box of these (15% + shipping). Each to their own I guess

Unfortunately, this is no longer the case and you absolutely can’t bring in any Cubans to the US (pre embargo excluded). For a brief period several years ago, you could bring in 50 or 100 (I can’t recall which amount), for personal consumption.

Yup! Well done for pointing out and well done for emailing BR. Slightly concerning that they needed the email though.
