This all started because of the stupid basketball owner. Now don't get me wrong I am not racist, I don't condone what he said However , freedom of speech, he did not say it directly to a player or a person and even if he did it wasn't on TV or in the stadium or in a public place etc. He said it on the phone in his house to someone who was somewhat egging him on. And he now has to give us his ownership and be condemned for his words on the phone? Don't tell me non of us here has said one thing or another with your friends. Should we tell your boss and have you fired for that? and the fact that they are punishing him beyond what it should be, this has opened up a whole new can of worms going forward. Like this now they want to protest to change the name when no one complained before. Sorry for ranting and again I don't agree with his words but hey we have all said something stupid one time or another. Sent from my Z30 using Tapatalk

Great write up and information as always Ray. Or another way to "simplify things" and other can correct me of course into use bovida packs. In my 3ft - 2x2 ft humidor, much smaller than a yours. I use the cigar oasis in the middle and the top and bottom shelves get bovida packs. The odd thing though for me is during the summer I'm working the opposite as you I'm doing my best to keep humidity Loe as it tends to rub higher. Good luck getting it all straightened up.

Time to peek through this thread now, thanks rob and smitty

Awesome shots Thanks for sharing. Shlomo, summer is ofcourse the better time of year, but the strip is open during winter just need to bundle up a bit. Which for me personally becomes a bit of a pain when you want to ventur into a place, be it play a game or check out some attractions. I rememeber last year going into the haunted mansion and with our big jackets it was less fun, you know being in the dark and feeling the actors touching you. But, thats not to say it's not worth it, for sure to see the falls and area covered up and seeing it at night, taking a horse buggy ride with the family/lady can be nice.

Forget getting 20 and grab one box of Cohiba Piramide Extras, it's $211 so a little over your mark but so worth it. Otherwise go with what others have said. And good luck if you did try to find the 1966, I hit every store in Varadero and 2 factories in Havana, no luck.

So just to give a small review on my trip through customs. I had 65 cigars and spent $840, I wrote on the paper exactly that, I told them I was over and so on. The customs guy asked me the usualy where did you go, how long etc. Then he goes, you really spent all that on CIGARS??!!!??!?!?!?! I told him yes, I collect only limited editions etc, i'm like a wine collector. Blah blah. He stamped me R71 for the all clear and said take care. So all was good on my end. My girlfriend/mule on the other hand, she met a real Bee-with-an-itch, she had 56 cigars and spent only $520 well under the limit and only 6 cigars over. She red flagged her R72 and circled the overages, she asked her who did you travel with, my GF said with my BF. Then as we waited for the bags, I told my GF dont worry, what ever they charge if any we pay, still cheaper then if buying in Canada and would only be on 6 cigars, the agent was just being a B-with-an-itch, then as we started to stroll out it seemed like thousands of us going through the gate at once, I passed my card, my GF passed hers, the last check lady looked at it and then said ok go ahead. I really think the first gal had nothing better to do and thought that I was probable over and was going to get flagged so as we walked out together they would of stopped us, but my guy was cool. So in the end I still stay with my motto, just be honest tell them what you got, and sweat it out. LOL

Thats why I made sure to mention the CONVERSION.... lol Sorry if you missed it. But yes, $140 peso's, put that on your credit card in CUBA and they charge it at 0.90, US $, don't know why,as I am not American, then my credit card company charged me 1.0355 to convert US to CAN , so my CC was charged $161.08 Canadian funds. Like the above box would cost me at $199 US$ to $206.06 Canadian.

this is an AMAZING price. I know because I just bought 3 boxes in CUBA this week and converted over from peso to canadian with all the exchanges cost me $162. WOW. FOH you guys rock it with your pricing.

Also rememebr though that the two limits go hand in hand, 50 cigars and up to $800 for more than 48 hours out of country. so at the same time if your stogies cost over $800 and you have 50 or less you could be hit with the tax. But going over the limit, now thats where it makes it tough. you can bring 50 without an issue but what if your value over 50 doesn't exceed the $800 mark? things that make you go hrmmm!!>?? Well I leave 6am tomorrow so guess I will find out upon my return.

Exactly, I am always up front with them. I disclose everything because again worst case they hit me with the tax, better then losing it all because of a "little" lie. I rememeber one time coming back on a trip, I had to put some boxes in my luggage as my carry on was way to heavy, I could of lied and said I only had that amount but I told the agent. I have X on me and X in my bag for a total of Y. And that I was over my limit. Ok, welcome back, Bye. But Thanks for the tips on the purchase route that's helpful.

So at 200& plus tax for overage, its only charged on the overage and, how do they determain which BOX or BOXES to charge you on? the higher amount the lower etc? I mean, if you bring over $200 worth and pay $400-600 in the taxes, and in total lets say you brought 80 cigars. thats an extra $5 a cigar, still a hell of alot cheaper then up here. Just my opinion.
