My close friend for some reason is taking a trip to cuba for fun at the end of January. he offered to bring me back some CC's. And so i ask, if you had to get a box of CC from Cuba, which one would it be? I only ask since i have never had CC's since i started seriously smoking about 2 years ago.

Some i had in mind were, Ramon Allones, Partagas, Hoyo, Cohiba, Monte. Wonder if they have a sampler? Anyway, he says he is going to havana and then vinales.

which one should i ask for?

That rule has changed. They just charge you duties on the excess now.

I'm sure there is some upper limit, like don't try to bring back a master case, but just keep it within reason and I suspect you would be fine. The same as bringing back stuff from any other country.

Partagas (maybe 160's)

Cohiba Silo IV

Would probably do the trick for me if 7ou aren't trying to get too crazy.

Partags and Cohiba.

Thank you.

or maybe you can find some aged Los Stratos Deluxes.

Cuban Partagas 160's???

Those are rare!!!

Easier to just order online and have delivered to your front door.

Except for the Parti 160's - you have to go there for those.

There is no longer a limit. Travellers are permitted to bring back as much rum, cigars etc. as one can carry, for personal use of course.

For my $.02, I would would definitely stock up on custom rolled cigars from one or more of the well known rollers like Reynaldo, Jorge

Lopez, Alex etc. Would also seek out some RE's and LE's.

As has been previously stated, most others can be procured online.

Anyways, I ordered two boxes of Behike this month from a buddy who is there now. Hopefully they turn out to be the real deal.

This because they are not easily obtainable here. I was unaware that the rule had changed yet again myself.

I am a total noob. What is RE and LE? @ @ spinning eyes from all the names and since i won't be there.

Correct. Fantastic way to market cigars at a higher price, though there have been a few phenomenal releases. Largely, not worth the extra coin.

Cohiba (what you can find)

Partagas

Los Statos Deluxe

Reynaldo Factory, Jorge Lopez, Alex factory - custom rolls

El Rey Del Mundo

I also had Hoyo and Ramon Allones and Monte.

Okay. We are going to research where he needs to go and if he can spare the time from the rest of his schedule to visit places.

The safest, smartest, bet is to send him to the nearest La Casa del Habanos and buy everything with a red secondary band: H Upmann Royal Robustos and Ramon Allones Superiors would be my first two choices.
