As most of you probably know the USA does not allow cuban cigars to be sold here. Even though I am not a major cigar smoker I do like a nice Pardon or something every once in a while and so does my girlfriends dad, and we split a bottle of Macallan Scotch with the stogies. Anyways is there anyone out there that is kind of a cigar afficiando and would be willing to send me some Cubans from another country at cost of cigars plus obviously I would cover the shipping costs too?

Altair is a big cigar guy, and there are a few others on here too.

You do realise that anyone sending you cigars would be breaking the law right?

HAHA Ya I do but I mean its not major if they get lost I am the one loosing out. Here's how I see it within the United States your not even allowed to ship alcohol from state to state but I visit many liquor stores that will still send my family in other states bottles of wine for christmas and when the shipper hears that its liquid they tell them its olive oil and stuff like that haha

Pm sent thank you for your quick reponse? also do you think it would be a problem getting just a few through? Have you shipped them to the USA before?

From what ive read in the past, the safest way is to remove the rings from the cigars and then ship them. If you want the rings, you have them shipped separately.

Ya I know sometimes you can bring them back but its getting harder and harder its less of a risk to have them shipped. Also as far as taking the rings off they know ohh trust me they know haha

PM sent with all the info you need.

It is illegal, but the worst that can happen is if you get caught they will be destroyed, maybe a repeat "offender" would get a warning letter with an empty box. Happens all the time, no one really cares.
