Outdoorguy84 Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 Hey everyone! Going to be traveling to Cuba in December and was wanting to get an idea of pricing before I go? Can anyone share what they bought. Try and include where you bought them from and what you got and how much. Any pics would be great too!! Happy Thursday and thanks to all!!

Popular Post stogieluver Posted September 14, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 14, 2018 Buy all the custom rolls from Alex, Yolanda, and Reynaldo you can, but also go to the Partagas factory LCDH and see if they have some Sir Winston's and if you find some Talisman's buy all you can. Everything else you can buy here when you get back. VERY IMPORTANT: be sure to get factura's for each purchase, particularly the custom rolls. Worry about Cuban customs but don't worry about U. S. customs. If you have a handful of factura's, you should be okay going through Cuban customs. But don't be surprised if they confiscate some of your purchases. Just the risk you take. Smile a lot, be very friendly without saying much. They will not be friendly, but if you give them an excuse (factura's) to pass you through, they will most of the time. Overwhelm them with factura's if you can. Spread out your purchases between your checked luggage and your wife's luggage (if traveling together). Hire Jorge to drive you around La Habana. Freeze everything you buy on the island when you get home before putting them in your humidor. Search here for instructions. Good luck and good hunting. Oh yeah, buy a Hotel Nacional ashtray or two if you have room to bring them back. Have a smoke and Cuba Libre on the veranda. 5 1

Expand Variable. Maybe 4-12 cuc a piece depending on the roller and vitola. Most will be in the 5-8 cuc a stick range.
Derboesekoenig Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I think la puntilla were 120 or 125 per bundle of 25? Other than that, I don't know about the others.

Expand I paid $110 for Puntilla and Corona, $122.50 for Yolanda’s dalito/corona extra, $3/ea for Reynaldo’s coronas and $4/ea for Reynaldo’s robustos. I believe the prices can fluctuate some.
crasmith Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Great info! Yeah, just curious as I’m putting together my budget and wanted to include plenty of custom rolled. Your favorite? Thanks a bunch!
peteando Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Planning my first trip and great to know. Thanks.

JUST SCOUT A FEW PLACES BEFORE YOU BLOW YOUR MONEY ON ONE OR TWO LCDH'S. UNLESS ITS SOMETHING RARE THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO FIND
SOFLO88 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I got a couple boxes of the libertadors a couple weeks back. Partagas Factory had some and were not wanting to give it to me.

Expand Prices, havent gone up. It was 110 per box and everything else is still the same price as before the increase. Hotel Nacional had a ton of them. Dont ask Partagas Factory for anything you dont see, they hold stuff for flippers.

I asked for a box of La Trova and they got it for me. Just have to ask nicely 1
