polarbear Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 When I was in Dublin I had the pleasure of smoking a Flying Pig by Hamlet. It was outstanding and I was only able to get a couple to bring home with me. I smoked another one yesterday and I feel I need more of these in my life. Is there a way to source some of the famous cuban custom rolled cigars I hear so much about without having to go to Cuba or have someone Mule them back for me?

Diamondog Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Some vendors do have their own customs for sale but i havent seen many. Other than buying them in Cuba you are looking at trading/buying privately. Also, B&Ms will sometimes have guests in to roll. Hamlet does some touring as well although with the Partagas situation that may stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charltonc Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The touring is rumoured to end. I want to try some Monsdales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 There is a Cuban roller coming to LCDH Stuttgart in May so the tours haven't quite ended yet - keeping fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 There is a Cuban roller coming to LCDH Stuttgart in May so the tours haven't quite ended yet - keeping fingers crossed! My understanding is that tours will continue. Just not with the gun/name rollers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Spent a few evenings chasing a roller from Partagas around hotels in the UAE the other week and she still thought someone would be touring there every year or second. Granted, I was using a random Spanish translator who may have just been a random guy that didn't actually speak Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Agreed with what Rob said. That's how we heard it from different sources when down there, and what the word still is - the tours may still continue, albeit at a lesser amount of visits/locations potentially, but what the word was, was that the main-name rollers won't be travelling anymore. Just miscellaneous rollers constanty rotating in and out through the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 So, to jump back on topic The only way to get some Hamlets or Monsdales is to travel to Cuba and hope they are still rolling when I get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Figured :-( Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully HSA have come full circle by the time I get over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 So, to jump back on topic The only way to get some Hamlets or Monsdales is to travel to Cuba and hope they are still rolling when I get there? yes LOL. Agreed. I just realized recently that I've either been smoking or gifting waaaaaaaay too many of these recently. So I pledged to stop that.... And then Don # 1 and Don # 2 came over the other night.... And I hit the rum early that afternoon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
