Congrats on the Sub, nice Romeo with it. A wide Churchill I had recently was the best smoke of my summer.

Thanks!

The RyJ Ex4 and Wide Churchill were real hits for me this summer. Both are great with an afternoon coffee.

Perfect construction and lovely cherry and sweet cedar flavours, was an hour and forty minutes of cigar bliss.

Changing Cuba policy is part of the normal cycle for a sitting president chasing Cuban American votes. Bush opened things up in the lead up to 2004. Closed it right back down after the election.

Obama did the same before and after 2012. Later near the end, opened it waaay up.

Interesting to see that now they think clamping it down a little is going to garner more support in FL vs the previous shifts...

X2. And Cuban cigars and rum are readily available online from across the pond with a click of the mouse and a credit card#. This just makes visiting there from the US more verboten, but those who have gone through the years past will likely keep going, regardless of the consequences.

A friend of mine was denied TSA Pre/Global Entry because he received 3 letters for seized online Cuban cigar purchases.

Hey guys,

Tried to research this on my own, but found differing opinions. Hence, I come to TRF for a definitive answer!

How long do you typically age newly acquired Cuban cigars? Differ by brand?

Appreciate your input.

I don't know what TSA Pre/Global Entry is. I haven't flown anywhere domestic nor international in many years. Received one "letter" many years ago for a seized box. You spin the wheel, you take your chances.

TSA pre check/ global entry is essentially a fast check through security because you’re already “vetted” through the system they have in place. I’m assuming the guy mentioned was denied TSA pre check and the letters were the assumed reason for the denial.
