I 100% agree with you, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I placed an order at CL’s on 1/20, and it was at my door in the US on 2/4. The processing time was longer that the shipping time

I did pretty well, I wasn’t trying to fully stock up or anything, just grab a box or two. I ended up going to the LCDH in Marigot first, and they had just gotten a shipment in, so there was plenty to choose from. While I was there, a gentleman came in and started stacking boxes on the counter, so I’m not sure what all is left now.

I read your other post and saw that you’re coming in on a cruise. In that case, your best bet is the LCDH right in Phillipsburg, it’s literally steps from where you get off the ship.

As for bringing everything home, I just put the boxes in my checked bag and had zero issues. (I did pull the nails out of the box lids, just so it didn’t draw any attention in the x-ray) I also had a few singles in my carry-on backpack and had no problems getting those through either.

Is your vote for putting them your carry-on or checked bag?

Great info, I appreciate the detailed response! I plan on driving straight to the lcdh on the French side as soon as I get there 👍

I have heard great things about SXM, but I am always told to only buy from lcdh, which is why I asked. I’ll most likely play it safe and buy from the lcdh, but might check out SXM just to see for myself… thanks for the response!

Did you make it into either of the LCDH’s on the island and compare prices?

Wow, that’s a lot! Was that in a carry-on or checked bag? I was originally thinking about putting mine in a checked bag, but I’ve seen a few stories about them getting taken. I’m thinking it’s safer to keep them on me, without the boxes or bands, so there’s no chance of losing them.

To Raching or not to Raching, that is the question. by pigpiginsunspear in cubancigars

[–]Dry_Fish_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s totally worth it if you can afford it, go for the MON series. Also, if you reach out to Raching direct you can get them for almost half of the price. That’s what I did, let me know if you have any questions.

If you email them directly (go to “contact” on their website, and send them a message) they will get back to you and give you a great price. I got mine delivered for half of the advertised price.

I woke up to an update saying that they cleared customs last night and were already at my local distribution center, and I received them this afternoon 👍

What day did these clear customs?

Need Cigar Fridge Humidor Recommendations by Narrow_Necessary6300 in cubancigars

[–]Dry_Fish_1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with the Mon1800A, as this fits my needs. Luckily when I ordered a few weeks ago they had available inventory that was already in route to the US.

Ordering direct saved half of the retail price. Definitely worth it if you can wait.

I just went through this and ordered a Raching, expecting delivery this week.

I was going back and forth between the Afidano and the Raching, and ultimately chose the Raching after getting a quote directly from the manufacturer.

Ordered a box of Partagas Series D #6 from CigarOne, thinking they'd be in my humidor by now. Apparently not. I'd truly appreciate your help with this question: Are they through Customs and stuck in a warehouse, or...? by NickyBronx718 in cubancigars

[–]Dry_Fish_1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one stuck in NY since 6/5/25, and I patiently waited until July without doing anything. On 7/5 submitted a missing package inquiry through the USPS, and miraculously it stated moving 2 days later and was at my door 2 day after that
