What boxes would you be willing to buy blind?

Headed back to Cuba in Nov and while I have previously purchased sealed boxes, I have since been spoiled rotten by our host and his devious 24:24. What would you do?

I wouldn't buy sealed boxes, and I can't see why you would have to buy blind in Cuba

I will be in Cayo Santa Maria and not Havana unfortunately. They may or may not open a box before purchase and they surely won't let me open several. Also Canada Customs could theoretically have a problem with it.

Do NOT buy blind in Cuba. Mold and beetles abound.

They wont open before you buy? Walk away.

I hear you @shlomo I have been lucky to have not seen a beetle since the 90's. I'll stick to your advice.

Last year when I was in cayo santa maria, opened all the boxes I wanted at the stores. They had no problem opening them. At the hotel store one of the boxes had bad mold.They replaced it and put the bad box back on the shelf.
