Here's a tip for you guys who want to try some really great Cubans but don't want to take the risk with US customs, etc. Puro Express sells bespoke (custom rolled) cuban cigars that are unbanded. Since there's no band that says "Cuba" on it and the boxes don't say "Cuba" on them, there's no problem with customs. I just had one and it was really delicious - rich tobacco with some cream and some delicious spice. I'm definitely getting more and they are coming out with additional sizes soon too. Right now the only size is a Laguito No. 5 (54 x 5 3/5). But I think they have a corona, a robusto and a piramide coming soon. Order them this weekend and you may have them by next Fri.

Sat outside in the sun, waterfalls gurgling in the pool, and enjoy a Partagas #4 Cuban before the Super Bowl began.. Was an excellent way to spend a couple hours.
