Riverstyx Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Hi guys, newbie from Jacksonville, FL here. Heading to Cuba this weekend and have been reading plenty on this site. Hope to come back with great memories and even better cigars. 2
lafabrica Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 greetings and welcome! how was the trip & how did you make out?
Riverstyx Posted July 19, 2017 Author Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks. Froze all my cigars for 2 days. Brought back a decent selection of production cigars, but no customs.

Unfortunately, no customs. Also, Behikes and Montecristo no 2 were nowhere to be found. Most of the cigars came from the LCDH by the Partagas factory. We stayed at the Kempinski...Cohiba Atmostphere was more expensive, but I'm not sure why. They also lacked selection. In fact, buying cigars from the tobacco lounge within the Kempinski was cheaper than Cohiba Atmosphere. When I came through customs on the way back, they asked if I had more than 100 cigars. I didn't think there was a limit? Anyway, I said no because it was split between my wife and I. All clear. 1
Riverstyx Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 I wish I could put them away for a while. I've been trying, but it's so hard. I've sampled at least one from every box so far, and going to try and wait a few weeks before having any more. Ordered my first box from our host, so I'm thinking I'll have to keep doing that to build up my aged supply! Most were pretty good. The last 1/3rd of the Lusitania sucked, the HDM Epic 2 sucked, and one of the two RASS I tried sucked (all bitter). The rest were good to great. With no age, my favs were: Partagas no 4, Bolivar BF, Mont #4, and CoRo (not in any order).
jerryg05495 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 sounds like a great trip, congratulations and enjoy.
Smokin Joe Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Looks like a sweet trip. Great way to kick off your collection. If you look around the forum you'll see a few others posting about the RASS smoking bitter when young.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
