But I don't have the Grand Reserve in stock. We have several different Gurhka's but not that one. The 'hot' one seems to be the Ancient Warrior at the 1101 shop.
Nope. Ours our white label/red dot.
Sadly its not legal to sell the yellow label in the US. Real Cubans are illegal to possess, illegal to smoke, very illegal to sell. Which is not to say that there is not a blackmarket for them, in fact there are websites where people actively trade real Cuban cigars that have been smuggled into the US.
I currently have NONE.
You can buy, sell, and trade pre embargo all you want. If you can find them. They were in the US before the trade laws so there is nothing illegal about them.
Favorite is Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro / PAM
Anything Punch for my affordable smokes.
I'd always heard that somewhere there was an exception that you could being in ONE box (50 or less) a year for personal use, i.e. bringing a box back from Canada, where they're legal...
However I've always chalked it up to urban legend, because no one has ever been able to show it to me in black and white.
The information about the Pre-Embargo cigars is correct. They do exist. They are beyond the financial means of the average American. As for the ONE BOX (50 cigars) a year for personal use, no. Not legal. It is true that many boxes do come into the USA that way. But not legally.
The C.A.O. Brazilian AMAZON is a fantastic cigar.
CAO Brazilian is a whole series of cigars, they make several different shapes, sizes and blends within the Brazilian series. Each is different. All are pretty bold and spicy that I have tried but my favorite is the Amazon. Also realize that SHAPE of the cigar will affect NOT ONLY how it smokes, but the flavor. Thin cigars generally burn "hot" and fat (large ring gauge) cigars smoke "cool" and this will affect the flavor as the tobacco may be the same but the way it burns will affect the taste.How do these compare to the CAO Brazilian box press? I am just assuming the size is different, correct?
Nope, we don't ship.melensdad, does your shop ship? You are about a 2 hour drive for me.

As for on-line cigar companies, the only one I can recommend is Cigars International - discount cigars, humidors, cigar accessories they offer a good selection, most of their brands are name brand cigars, their prices are excellent too. Being out of state, they get around the Indiana cigar/tobacco tax so they have a price advantage over my shop too.
For EVERYONE thinking of buying cigars on-line, I strongly recommend you only buy what you KNOW YOU LIKE from these places. Realize that many of the on-line cigar retailers have numerous "house" brands that they promote as high quality but they are really anything but that. Also, since many only sell full boxes if you buy something you think you like and find out you don't you are now stuck with $100+ worth of cigars you will be gagging on.
Thanks for the info. I picked up an Amazon last night, along with some others. If I'm ever up your way, I will definitely stop by.
