RE: Pipe Tobacco Review - Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake - a 5-star Budget Virginia-Perique Spun Cut
I've never smoked a pipe, not with tobacco anyway...
However for many years my hobby was Cuban cigars... sadly now I can't smoke them anymore, at least not as often, but sometimes I take one out and smell it. :)
Oh no! Doctors orders, or have they just become too difficult to obtain?
Of course, we still can't buy Cuban cigars in the US. I'd love to try a few and see if they stand up to the legend. I suspect cigar makers in other countries have caught up by now, but the only way to know for sure would be to smoke some of each!
lol if the doctors had known I was smoking, they'd have told me to lay off... yeah it's better for my health this way.
But you can get Cubans in the US, I used to buy them from here all the time when I lived there:

I met the guy who sells them, the leader of the forum, based in Australia, I can vouch for him. :)
They'll simply package the cigars separately from the Cuban original box, then send both to you but separately. Customs can't tell the difference, because similar brands are made in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, etc.
Thanks for the trip. Maybe I'll treat myself someday soon.
I've read that it's no longer illegal to buy cigars for personal consumption and bring them back. Hopefully it won't be long before we can actually sell them here. Then again, our tobacco taxes are outrageous.
