BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Anything worth smoking from the philippines?
- Thread starter BORIStheBLADE
- Start date
Even if its a couple?

Thanks

If she were to declare the cigars, regardless of the quantity, or have them discovered during a random inspection they woud be confiscated and detroyed.
She would likely receive a form letter explaining what was taken and why...as well as outlining the potential penalties.

Have your bags inspected at the overseas departure point- have them then shirk wrapped - there is little chance that bag will be opened by U.S. Customs. Of course I am not advocating by this post that you have anything in your luggage not permitted to be imported - just letting you know what procedures are typical by virtue of my international travel experience recently.
I think we will chance getting them confiscated, but I still haven't been told if anything over there is worth trying.
LOL< So... if they had cubans there they would be pretty much be the same selection of cubans anywhere? Nothing special?
Yes. Make sure to only buy from a LCDHs when over there

did you say smoking hot women from the Philippines?

First of all, there are no LCDH in the Philippines. There are several places that you could go and smoke. Buying cigars you might need to buy at the Duty Free shop. Its expensive. Not much choices but thats ok.
There are places to go and buy but like I said expensive. They will take off the bands and put the cigars in a philippine cigar box. They will give the bands to your sister and she will probably have to mail the bands to you. She can declare the cigars as Philippine cigars.
There are three hotels in the metro manila area with cigar bars. You can purchase cigars from them.
Mandarin Oriental has Kiplings. Kiplings is part of the hotel and its entrance is inside the hotel itself. They have a decent selection of ports and scotches. You can purchase cigars individually or by the box but it may be expensive. The Mandarin is located in Makati, Metro Manila
EDSA Shangrila has Churchill's. Churchill's is NOT part of the hotel itself but is located within the building. You can purchase cigars individually or by the box. Its entrance is apart from the hotel entrance. The EDSA Shangrila Hotel is located in the Ortigas Center, metro Manila.
The Renaissance (formerly called New World Hotel) has a cigar bar called Fort and Tay. Fort and Tay is NOT part of the hotel itself but is located within the building. You can purchase cigars individually or by the box. Its entrance is also apart from the hotel entrance. The Renaissance is located in Makati, Metro Manila
As for Philippine cigars
may I recommend the marque called Don Juan Urquijo.
I hope this helps you in your quest.
