PRE-EMBARGO CIGARS

Pre Embargo?
On the 7th of Febuary, 1962 the USA banned all Cuban imports and exports and one year later on the 8th Febuary, 1963 this
was extended into a US embargo on all things Cuban including foreign travel to and from Cuba.

 

Hence a pre-embargo cigar is one that was made prior to the 7th of Febuary, 1962. Or is it? There is also an argument that says

that a pre-embargo cigar is one that was made prior to the later date of 8th of Febuary, 1963 when the US embargo was imposed

 by President Kennedy. The point is to a certain degree academic because while there might be legitimate concerns within the

US about which boxes can be traded you should be aware that trying to take any box of Cuban cigars, pre or post embargo,

into the USA can be a very tricky operation.

 

CIGAR STORAGE


We take cigar storage very seriously since we store cigars for many years even decades.

Our storage conditions are typically BELOW the recommended 70/70 that everyone is familiar with, the 70/70 conditions are for cigars that are ready for

consumption.
Since we are worried about long term storage we keep our cigars at 60/65.

Furthermore, the cigars that we release for sale have been "aged" in our humidors for a minimum of 6 months, many have been aging for years.
