Lunettesman Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 22 hours ago, Devo15 said: I had written about this as well last spring. I was in Cancun at the LCDH and they had unbanded cigars that were “cuban leaf tobacco”. They were really good, and about half price, but I was surprised to see them in there. The best LCDH stocked ever was the one in Cancun in July 2023. Name it, find it. Amazing. The lady wasn't friendly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly few days prior to my visit a well known Instagramer was filming this same place filled with everything you could wish for. It happened the same to a buddy of mine. It's just show. Kirby is a baby player in that area. Shops are empty but making it look full. Kirby has no place in Dubai. Jasim Ahmed rules Dubai. Looks like the place is filled with cigars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I invite you to go and see for yourself. Hot chicks are being photoshopped on Instagram, cigars shop are being filled with box from customer s vault for a shooting and back to the vault. Quickly replaced by tons of shorts and Arturo Fuentes. But yeah, every time that dude post on IG it seems the shop is full... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie117 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The New Zealand LCDH in Auckland, named Havana House, has sold "SO Cigars" (Nicaraguan) and currently have "Confidenciaal" for sale on their website.

ha_banos Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Well Mitch's and Ajay's web sites have NC listed. Mitch's business has many, many stores though only a couple are LCDH. Ajay has one LCDH store, with the banner on the shop front, and it's website certainly sells NC. Then there's JJFox LCDH, but again I don't think the site distinguishes between the LCDH and the other store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that you can change the name and still be considered as a LCDH franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It strikes me as odd how hard you're trying to refute what's being told to you. The fact is, to answer your question, yes official LCDH stores are selling non-Cuban cigars, openly, on their websites and in-person. As for this reply - Havana House is just the English translation of LCDH. They still have all the LCDH branding in their store, they've just chosen to name the store in English. It's an official store. Nothing strange going on. You obviously were trying to prove some point that LCDH stores never openly sell NCs (which I feel has been thoroughly debunked here). I question why you were so stubborn on that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now notice that their websites can have a different name other than LCDH to sell NCs. I am in the US, so I don't know all the ins and outs about LCDHs and their logo rights. I had no idea Havana House was a part of LCDHs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted Tuesday at 02:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:49 AM LCDH in Europe can officially sell NC in stores/online/however they want. LCDH in Asia have technically tighter restrictions. However, not enforced. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if there was an express or demonstrably implied warranty of delivery volume, at least according to the common law. And in any case suing them might not get you far because I suspect HSA reserved the right to terminated the franchise without cause. Disclaimer: There could be a number of statutory protections available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea Havana House was a part of LCDHs. Many parts of the world don't allow *any* cigars to be sold with pictures or branding, NZ and Aus being two of them. There are no pictures of the Cubans OR the non Cubans on the Havana House website - I don't see how that makes it any less true and clear that they're selling them openly? I don't mean to be rude, but you're coming off as though there's no level of proof that will convince you, you're looking for your bias to be confirmed. Multiple people in this thread have given you explicit, searchable examples of NCs being sold online and in-person by officially licenced LCDH stores, yet you've replied to each one as though it's not enough to sway you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my question was answered that one must go to physical locations to find NCs, not through most websites. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
