overseas

[Fireball JaX]

I have been looking at sites across the water. I know the forum rules so i will be tactful with what I write. If cubans are banned from the states how can u.s sites sell them. I have an aunt over there and I get to pick a birthday present. so have been perusing around some sites.

U.S. sites don't sell Cubans.

If you see similar brand names, it's because they're non-Cubans with the same brand names. The brand names were sold and/or nicked a long while back.

Cheers Deano, that clears a lot up. Will take a look around

There are also grey market sites, often based in Switzerland or Honk Kong, that will ship 'Cuban' cigars to the U.S. From what I've heard it seems that some of these sites do sell genuine Cubans, others sell counterfeits, and there are some that sell a mixture of both. American consumers therefore face both the risk of receiving fakes and the risk of getting their package seized by customs when they order from these sites, but due to the embargo this is often the only way that they can get their hands on 'Cuban' cigars. These sites also offer shipping to the UK, but for the reasons mentioned above I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, even if their prices are cheap!

It is very good to have family in the US of A, I have a kindly old uncle in Florida, and a whole bunch of Cousins in California.

Do you have any family that would consider adoption?

The furthest away my relatives are is Pudsey (more's the pity).

But then there is a famous saying in Pudsey. Apparently - "Pudsey is where t' ducks fly backards ter keep t'muck out o ther eyes"

They don't have Arturo Fuente cigars in Pudsey though.

My gran happens to live in Pudsey... The "Historic Market Town" sign on the way in always cracks me up. As does the 6 stalls left in the "historic market" :-)
