I bought some real Cohibas a time or 2. Not so great. And I have bought some REAL Cohibas. There is a big difference between real Cohibas & Real Cohibas Habanas.
Back when they were not illegal to posses as they are now (used to be illegal to IMPORT)...
I'm told you can order them from Spain, they arrive w/o bands and boxes. Spain is the top consumer of Cuban smokes and they get the best sticks.
Now that the Gov has deemed them illegal to even smoke, posses own (even off CONUS) they are not worth the potential fines/jail time. You could get in trouble for even smoking them outside CONUS - which is done on a regular basis by service members traveling to and from Iraq. Stupid IMVHO.
