    Default Has anyone ordered Cubans online?

    I am curious to know if anyone has ordered Cuban cigars online via European distributors? Not looking to order, only want to get your opinion/feedback/experience.

    Yes I did picked up some montecristo no2 and 4's and some grab pack others, it was a little weird but I got them ok, they are packed pro in plastic and box then in a shipping envelope, the price was not that bad also if you buy in bulk, when I run out I would do again

    I bought a Russian Bride online once, turned out to be a real headache and she wouldn't say "I must break you" in bed like I requested.

    I have one website that a good friend and I have been ordering from for over 5 years now. Neither one of us have ever had a problem. Cigars are always authentic, in perfect condition and the prices can't be beat. The company is out of New Zeland. Very nice people, and the cigars generally show up in not more than a couple days.

    If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM and I'll give you the website.

    It appears that appears that ordering Cubans online is either a good or very bad experience. If you get fakes, there is no real way to verify the authenticity, at least in the US; as there is no Cuban La Casa Del Habano franchises. Although online distributors offer a money back garantee, I highly doubt one will go through the headache of shipping cigars back to say Australia, Switzerland, etc and deal with the company with emails and phone calls to then wait weeks to get the money back. Finally, one cannot file a complaint in the US as Cubans are technically illegal.

    ps: several aficionados I know confirmed that the best Cubans are sold in Spain (favorable relationship between Cuba and Spain helps) and at Casa Del Habano at Beirut's International Airport (distributor for the entire Middle East).

    I never order them online, but when I was in Jamaica I met a vendor who owned a bodega style shop (indian guy from NY LOL) and I have ordered from him a few times with success.
