Suggestions for a special occasion Habano

[sonicpentatonic]

I will be traveling to Europe this May for a couple of weeks, and I would like to pick up a couple of nice Cuban cigars to throw in my humi until I graduate from undergrad in 2.5 years, and then for when I graduate from either medschool or grad school. Doesn't necessarily have to be only two sticks, but I also don't want to spend $200 on some cigars seeing as how I am a college student.

I am a newbie right now, but I am just getting into this cigar scene. So far my favorites that I have smoked have been the Rocky Patel EDGE, the 90 and 92 vintages, and a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real.

I know this is kinda a short list to make suggestions from, but I'm open to anything.

you will get better deals from our sponsers than what you will find in Europe.

Indeed, much better deals. Kevin is a stud!

It depends on where you are traveling in Europe as to how much you will pay. England has higher prices.

In any event, I would pick up some singles to try because it's fun.

If you are new to these, go for classics like the Monte 2 or 4; Upmann Mag 46, ERdM Choix Supreme or something like that.

Have fun.

The only cigars I would pick up would be the regional releases. And those will vary, depending on what country in Europe you'll be going to.

Yeah you might be able to pick up some RE's if they still have any in those areas, but I cant say that I know of any shops that atre reputable being as Ive not been there. Be careful bringing those things back into the country. If you get caught once youll be on the harrass list at the airport forever! Take the bands off and keep em in your pocket or something that way it isnt an issue.

You may be able to find the JL Obus in France. A couple of singles would make for a nice keepsake. If you are only bringing back two cigars I don't think customs is going to hassle you or even look that closely.

I was told to put some weird porn on top of the cigars in your luggage so the officials would be wary to look at it. I had a friend who went to Greece last summer and hid a box of Cubanos under a Kama Sutra calendar. :rofl:

I was also thinking of bringing some of my sticks over with me in a 3 finger case or similar, smoking them while in europe, and then putting the old bands on the Habanos.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions so far guys.
