Nope. Look into what OZ is getting bent over for. We are only half way to what they are. A pack of darts up here only costs like $15, but in OZ they are around $40. Taxation without representation, baby. Sent from my SM-G973W using Tapatalk

First car, my '74 Austin Mini. Leaks oil from the rear main...still to this day. Never have fixed it, 26 years later. I think this summer is the summer of Mini-love. Sent from my SM-G973W using Tapatalk

I usually cut my nails pretty short, but after they start growing out, I like to use the circle-the-top-of-the-cap with your nails to make a punch-style hole. I imagine it is pretty close to what is being described here. Works really well, tbh. The biggest problem is with thin and/or fragile wrappers.

A thing to note; as temperature is lowered, humidity in the air drops out. If you set your temp to 60 F, you will have more condensation build up than if you had it set for 65 F. If your ambient is a lot warmer than that, it will also be an issue with introduction of new humidity in large quantities. Make sure to leave the door closed as much as possible.

If anyone is going down to Varadero on a trip, they had 2 boxes in the humidor at the shop on the resort Grand Memories Varadero 2 weeks ago. Not sure if anyone wants to spend the time or energy enough to go all the way out there, but if you are close, you can always swing in there and check. Not sure on the price though, as they had La Isla's as well, but marked up 35 CUC/ box more, so I imagine the SC's will most likely be the same.

Aaahhhh, the obligatory snow-blower facial. Always fun.

Thanks guys, love the discussion and not agruement. I would have assumed the custom rolls would never have been frozen, as it is all just leaves entering. Never doubted that. As far as newer freezing, this is a good sign. Hopefully it continues as I know everyone here likes not having to worry about it as much. I will still continue to freeze my stuff from when I go to the Island as a precaution, no matter box or bundle, for now. Cheers.

I have seen the thread. My thoughts are; Cuba builds something once, then usually doesn't have the resources to maintain things properly that have parts and pieces from all parts of the world. Why has it been a question that was never proven until very recently, and how much do they actually use it ? I would lay down a sizable bet to say they MAY have a facility now, but it never gets used on cigars that are sold on-island. I have seen too many boxes of cigars (in stores, personally, and from boxes people brought home) that had beetles. This begs another question though; storage. If they are freezing everything, and beetle eggs are frozen, why is it more common in the boxes on the island ? Do they just store the cigars in way too warm a temp and thus increase gestation probability ? I have purchased from our host, like most of us, and a couple other places and have never seen beetles in those boxes, just to be clear. So does everything now get frozen leaving the island ?

Heard it. Probably the same place I heard about Cuba freezing cigars before leaving. Still have never seen proof and I have more evidence to the contrary.

Country: Canada. Packaging: 10 count SLB. No one could afford more, with taxes going up every day. Besides, with plain packaging, you could offer these in a milk carton and it wouldn't matter. Name: 49 North Size: Corona Grande 6.1 x 42 or Lonsdale 6.4 x 43

With all their issues getting oil/gas for cheap enough now, maybe this is a band-aid solution for them ? They barely have enough electrical power for the infrastructure now, let alone 10 electric scooters charging at the same time just in Havana alone, heh.

Fresh Prince of Belair I too think the Chappelle Show was was too short.

Comodoro for Alex's awesome customs. Habana Libre for singles/LE's in singles. Conde de Villenueva for the atmosphere. Melia Habana atmosphere is great too. Club Habana is a great place to see, but with the guards at the gate and the lack of friendliness, I wouldn't put this on "must visit". I was told I couldn't walk around and check out the grounds...."cigar shop and that's it" by the guards.
