Question about the "forbidden cigars" around ol us of a

blurr

I have a question about the "forbidden cigars" we can't even speak of or admit they exist in the old US of A. I look at a few other forums like puff, etc, and of course I always drool and get jealous of pics of some fine CC's, but I was wondering why do they always look furry, or kinda like hairy and almost like the wrappers are lower quality or dirty/almost moldy? I know from word they have some fine sticks but I was just wondering if they are just super plumey or its just a side effect of being made in certain working conditions there?

Could be plume. Could also just be the tobacco. If you look closely enough, some tobacco is covered in what looks like tiny little hairs. Not necessarily plume or mold, just the tobacco itself. Kind of like the little hairs all over a cucumber leaf, only much finer.

Alot of Cubans have "toothy" wrappers...

I guess I was just confused by a lot of pics I see on other sites, how the wrappers look so veiny and so rough compared to the best nicaraguans I smoke. Almost like I hear people saying how cuba took a major hit when the best growers all defected at the rise of castro. I definitely can see how upon just looks, Nicaraguans "look" so much better constructed and just less flaws. I have yet to smoke a cuban being in pa and only 2 years smoking. I just thought they looked a bit roughly constructed.

Perhaps with Fidel being officially replaced today the trade embargo might become a distant memory. Must be hard on many of you, knowing you are breaking the law everytime you partake in an ISOM product

Breaking the law? Get real, There are no cuban cigar police. If it makes it past customs, its legal. I'm gonna have a big Heche in Havana Cuban Punch after dinner tonight. They can have my cigar when they pry open my..... Oops, that's about guns. LOL

OH, dun dun! Pretty funny actually. I'm still working on figuring out how i could acquire, but I suppose being USA we aren't even allowed to mention it. shhhhh don't do it! I just like how some other forums have seperate forum sections, and list every users forum name with "non usa" etc. Its all silliness in my opinion, I understand why it was enacted but lets get over with it, it hurts the little people mostly. They look expensive as fudge tho on some sites.

Unless you only smoke online exclusive bargain bin type cigars, CCs really aren't any more expensive than most Non-CCs. I just got a box of Partagas Serie D. No. 4 for 140$.
