kiwicrusaders Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 I have a friend who is going to Cuba. CN you recommend where to tho to buy reasnably priced genuine cigar? Probably looking at something like Porr Lorranga Petit Corona's
CaptainQuintero Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Any LCDH should be fine, avoid beach sellers and street ellers like the plague
Blackham Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Which part of Cuba is your friend going? only go to LCDHs believe it or not it's incredibly hard to find a cab of PLPC in Cuba. Out of all LCDHs in Havana i only found 2 in Hotel Melia Habana just went in late Feb, the most common boxes are: RASS RA extra Upmann mag 50/46 Cohiba siglos,BHK,1966 BBF/BRC VRs and if your friend's going to havana there's always custom cigars
LLC Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 If he is in Havana I'd go to Partagas by the Capitol building. I got most of my cigar boxes there last trip and they were great to deal with and the cigars excellent.
PigFish Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Mate! If you are gonna' have a friend mule some cigars out of Isla Cuba, why not have him hook you up with some customs by one of the more famous rollers and buy the PLPC's from Rob? -Piggy

I would keep my choices as simple as possible and get him to grab some regular production or recent EL's. It is such a crap shoot with custom rolled cigars (blends change to frequently) and they are not the easiest cigars to acquire, even for a veteran who has travelled to Cuba dozens of times. Just my opinion.
Ken Gargett Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 i don't think i've ever seen plpc's in cuba. but you never know.
fred170 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Behind the Capitolio (Habana City) you will find the Fabricas te Tabacos Partagas building. There you can get a nice tour, and shop all in one setting.... Enjoy!!
