Dude those are fabulous prices . BUY IT ALL, Pay the TAX !!! Make you some Bejamin's when you get home. 5 pack bundles for a bill or 20/stick. Guys here will pay it.
You are very lucky you can take so many cigars home with you. I live in the UK and we can only bring 50 cigars home. If we buy cigars in any EU country we can bring 100 home. Cigars are very expensive in the UK. A cigar that you might buy in the US for $10 would cost £40 in the UK. People may have noticed that you will never see any individuals in the UK showing their cigar collection on TH-cam. Thats because they don't have many cigars.
I was in the U.K. last May and visited the Davidoff lounge (check out the video) I feel sorry for the Brits but not as much as I do for the Aussoes bc their taxes are worse than the U.K.!!!!
I love videos of the farms like this. Only handful of them on TH-cam. While smoking a nicaraguan because usa isn’t over with their honeymoon with Cuba it’s getting old and boring now usa. Chop chop stop limiting us in this free country
@joescopo8933 the farm rolls from my 1st trip were the best I've ever had. This past year not so much. The farm rolls have become touristy and are not in the same style as what farmers smoke (petit coronas) they're seeling sizes like "esplendidos" siglo 6 and behike which is purely for the tourist market. Truthfully I prefer the margaritas from the comodoro shop to be the best custom rolls in Havana
I can tell you the farm rolls are damn good but unfortunately, the new or current farm rolls are not as good becuase they make them bigger. Before all farm rolls were pretty much corona size. If I had kept some for a few years they wouldve been amazing but thats the trouble with aging cigars, HOLDING THEM FOR THAT LONG!
I have lancero, robusto and bhk 54 from Cuban farms. The lanceros at 3 years are getting smoother yet complex. I think in a year or so that final third does too. As for the bigger ring gauges, really nice but need time. Farm rolls have the twang, each farm I believe it’s taste… all Cuban tabaco no matter how harsh at first, really a step above most new worlds.
Hey super educational video thank you so much for sharing! Quick question what did he say about selling his cigars? Something about only being allowed to sell 5 per person or something?
I was solo and it was a day trip but I would recommend staying overnight and seeing all the different sights like the caves and underground pools. The town is great and you can rent airbnb or "casa particulars" which are like bed n breakfast rooms
So the stuff he pulled out the bag that was treated with the honey water mixture is the normal process for cuban cigar production or he was trying to create an infused cigar?
The process is what some farmers used to do but i have not seen this process done anymore however some other ppl may have an update as my last trip there in 2022 did not encounter this. I believe it is a farm to farm thing where each have their own way of drying and fermenting
A true shame that the powers that be, refuse to change even a little. If that day should ever come, and the government's grow up, Cuban cigars might even become harder to find. As I am sure that they would be snapped up real fast.
Great video! Please upload more cigar videos from the present or last if you got ‘em.
Good morning. Bravo! you uploaded gorgeous -be well. Cuban.
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video!

Great video. Wish I could buya few bundles
Great video bro
Incredible video and insight from the cigar farmer.
What an experience this video is amazing thank you🙏
Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing. I'll be uploading a new video shortly
@@KimoKapaku definitely subscribed and looking out for the next one😁💨💨
Glad I found your channel. Lots of informative cigar content. I’ve learned a lot from watching past videos. Thanks!
Mahalo, Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate your feedback and this is why I do this. To share info and nothing else.

You think the UK is bad bro, try Australia 🇦🇺. You can only bring in 3 cigars.

Great video Iam headed to Havana next can you share the farmers information I would love to book a tour and buy some if his sticks.
So let me differentiate between what I call "custom roll" and the term "Farm roll"
@@KimoKapaku what about the tour information.
I'm just curious, were these cigars from the farmer as good as the margarita cigars from the Comodora? Wow, someday I'll find out for myself.

Great video again! Thanks!
What did the cigar taste like fresh? And how do you think it would taste after aging for 3-4 years in the humidor?

Great volg for the nice field trip! Are you riffing a small house at the end of the video for the last mile traveling to the farm?
It wasn't my house. I was only passing thru
Who decides what 90% the gov gets? Do the farms manage to keep the best quality for themselves?
Good question. Not sure how it gets separated or if the farmers get to decide
Hey super educational video thank you so much for sharing! Quick question what did he say about selling his cigars? Something about only being allowed to sell 5 per person or something?
No he was saying that 90% of the tobacco they grow goes to the g9vt and the 10% they keep is for them to use or sell
Did you visit the farm as part of a group tour? Was it a day trip from havana or did you overnight in the area?
I was solo and it was a day trip but I would recommend staying overnight and seeing all the different sights like the caves and underground pools. The town is great and you can rent airbnb or "casa particulars" which are like bed n breakfast rooms
You're asking some great questions btw!

Does the gov pay him for the 90% or his pay is from what he does with the 10% he keeps?
Both I believe but of course they make more on the 10% they keep and sell. The govt subsidizes all the equipment, fertilzer, gas, etc
A true shame that the powers that be, refuse to change even a little. If that day should ever come, and the government's grow up, Cuban cigars might even become harder to find. As I am sure that they would be snapped up real fast.
The govt has issues like all govts. They are inefficient and cannot run themselves without screwing it all up
