BubbaLew Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I am BubbaLew from Chicago, IL. I have been smoking cigars for about 22 years. I enjoy a good Habanos cigar now and then. I used to go to the Cigar Aficionado "Big Smoke" events back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Chicago is a good cigar town with many fine tobacco stores. I recently had the chance to go to Cuba, right before the Covid-19 pandemic struck. My wife tolerates my "hobby" and when we walked into the Casa Del Habanos cigar stores in Havana, I must say it was an out of body experience for me. All the years of saying "wouldn't it be great if I could just walk into a cigar store in the US and buy some Cuban cigars?" Well, there I was confronted with floor to ceiling boxes of every Cuban brand in every size. The stores had just been restocked after Christmas and the tourist level was low. If it wasn't for US-based credit card not allowed and cash only, I don't know what I would have done! My wife restricted me. Thanks
