Thanks for your kindness and also for your question, from my reply all of you can understand how bad the situation is here about the choice an aficionado can does. If you want to smoke only Habanos you can, no problems but as I wrote I prefer Nicaraguan and Dominicans, especially full, I find a kind of deep 'soul' in these stogies that Habanos don't have and it's just my personal opinion. Cubans are puros as we know, I love puros from Nicaragua or Dominican Republic but also the stogies with different mix in the filler or different tobaccos used for wrapper and binder. The list is too long, the largest Cigar's market in the old continent is Germany, you can buy online from but on your risk; a few years ago you could be charged with smuggling (independently from the quantity bought), a crime! Nowadays customs can ask you 'just' money. Here are not available Crowned Heads (any release), RoMa Craft (any release), Tatuaje different from brown label, Crux, Foundations (I love El Gueguense-The Wise Man), Black Label Trading Co., PDR, Viaje, CAO Amazon Basin, CAO Brazilian, CAO Pilòn, Herrera Estelì, Norteno, EdgarHoill, Flores y Rodriguez, Illusione, Drew Estate, AJ Fernandez (available just a couple or three release), Caldwell, La Palina. You can imagine about Limited Edition, is like finding water in the desert and it's frustrating. Davidoff and Camacho are available but I don't like the second and don't want to smoke the first. Ciao!

So if you trade you would have to pay a customs fee?

Welcome to BOTL @manfro66

I live in Minnesota which is known as "the land of 10,000 lakes" and yes it is quite beautiful here. But I also work for an Italian company and had the pleasure of visiting Milan and northern Italy last September. My company is located in the small town of Bione and we stayed in a hotel in Salo on the shores of Lake Garda. I can say without hesitation that Lake Garda is as beautiful (if not more so) than any of the 10,000 lakes we have here.

Really thanks so much! You can't understand how I'm happy after reading your message. I have to visit Minnesota to confirm your tought but I'm so glad of what you wrote about Lake Garda, now I'm writing from there exactly from Limone sul Garda where my sweet half lives. Bione in the area called 'Valle Sabbia'....next time remember you have a botl in Milan and on the shores of Lake Garda (north west), we will have a stogie together. I will post something you will appreciate. Thanks again!

No I haven't, probably I wasn't so clear. If customs put the hands on my package 100% it will be destroyed and I have to pay not a fee but a kind of penality. That's why I can buy only from countries member of European Community, the goods are not under hard check process by customs however it's not permitted, it's my own risk (also in that case penality is required by internal postal service). If I buy for example humidity beads tubes from Nevada (as I did) I have to pay a fee, the purchase from US in this case is allowed and I have to pay for the 'hard work' of customs' employees, damn. Youngs can buy online alchool and chemical drugs but I can't buy tobacco, that's how thinghs go here. I'm an honest person, I pay all taxes (I'm an employee) but when the rulese don't make sense I can't follow them.
