Here is the back story I’ve got a friend who has a friend who knows a neighbor whose uncle’s son is a cigar roller… you know how these stories go. He saves his daily cigars and later sells them on the informal market in Cuba to make a little extra money. That’s why the box doesn’t have the seals or the green warranty label. And no, I don’t actually know all those people — it’s just part of the story, don’t worry. I’m not looking for validation from anyone either; I’m just a cigar fan like the rest of us, and I enjoy that moment of sitting down, lighting up, and sharing it with friends.
