But to answer the OP, just take the bands off and you'll be fine. If it so happens that you aren't fine and you're left needing something to smoke, someone already mentioned Jerri's, and there's also a cigar shop in the Brown Palace Hotel on 17th and Tremont, which is right downtown and not far from where you're at either.

That is correct. Unless, of course, you're a diplomat or government official on official business and then they can't touch them.

Customs has been confiscating even unbanded cigars now due to the fact that they know this is common practice. Do I agree with this? NO, HELL NO. But they do it.
Most of that happens at the ground crossings though.

If you do not declare any tobacco or alcohol products when you are entering that is the easiest way to not get hassled.
If they then search and discover(which is fairly unlikely), say whoops... for got about those. As long as they aren't clearly banded cc's you stand a good chance of getting through just fine.

I never declare anything.

Unless I'm carrying weed... I always declare that! Cavity searches are fun.

Not sure if they changed some personel or not but the last time I was in there the cigars looked much better than say a year ago. I wish I could make it Wed., however I am thinking of taking my brother to HM for a UFC event on Oct. 25th if anyone is interested! I will post this on our board as well

.

It makes so much sense. Enforce an embargo against cuba that has never worked for decades but openly do business with red china which is a bigger threat and is well-known for human rights violations.

My favorite right now is Havana Manor in Louisville. Duane the owner is a PIMP... he does anything he can to make our leisure more enjoyable and is a great person to sit and chat with.

As a matter of fact I am going to be there with a few of the CFRHs on Wednesday night... you should swing by since it is real close to Westminster.

PM incoming.

They changed that too recently. No official business souvenirs any more either.

@Opusfxd
Lack of lounge? The big smoking area with leather chairs and couches, the poker table and the big-screen TV? And I've never seen mold on any of Original's products >.> But I will have to check out Havana Manor some time - seems to be the preferred place around here.

CFRHs are always down for a herf!!!

[spincycle]

Hi Folks! Thanks so much for the herf offer! I`m not sure what my evenings are going to be like, as I`m traveling with my bosses-boss, so he might have evenings planned. If I can get away for a while I`d love to meet up with you guys. I`m there until Thursday (midday) so hopefully I can get away for a bit!

If you commit to it and can make it out, we can make it happen. I know there are a couple of people down that way so it wouldn't be that bad for them... but we will probably have our second annual event around Mayish so that might be an idea too...
