If you are in the United States, you really can’t. Since importing them from Cuba are illegal. The only legal cuban cigars in the US are those that were already in the US prior to the embargo back in the 60s. If you were to find some, expect to pay several hundred dollars or more for 1 cigar.
The alternative is to travel to a caribbean country like Jamaica that doesn’t have an embargo on cuban products. There you can buy cuban cigars. However, you will not be allowed to bring them back to the US with you. References :
If you are in the U.S., you can’t, however the previous poster gave some partially correct info.
You CAN find Pre-Embargo cuban cigars (JR Cigars in NYC, downstairs in their vault is one place) for sale in the U.S. However, they are NOT several hundred dollars per cigar (but close!)
You can also find cigars rolled with supposed "recently found in an abandoned warehouse in Trenton, NJ", originally forgotten bales of Clear Havana tobacco by companies like Pinar and Finck.
Be careful of Cuban cigars in Caribbean tourist destinations – the overwhelming majority will be fakes. Also be aware that even though you are outside of the U.S., technically it is still illegal for you to purchase Cuban goods – I have yet to hear of how the OFAC enforces that, though….. References :
just go to Canada or Mexico whichever is close to you, buy them there and send them by mail to your house. I can bring you some next time I go Cuba.will be soon References : Cuban
Technically you could just cross the border into Canada or Mexico and buy them, but would have to smoke them there, since you’ll get in trouble if caught trying to cross the border with them.
Really though Cuban cigars are not the greatest cigars, the only reason people make a big deal about them is because they are illegal. Dominican and Costa Rican cigars are considered the best cigars. You don’t see cigar enthusiasts smoking Cuban cigars. Cuban cigars at there best are 2nd rate.
Oh and when I say Dominican and Costa Rican cigars, I mean certain brands are considered the best. There are plenty of garbage dominican and costa rican cigars too. References :
One way to obtain "Cuban" cigars legally is to get them "made" or "rolled" in a country outside of Cuba. For example, according to the laws of the U.S., if a cigar is made from Cuban tobacco and even rolled by a Cuban citizen, but is made in the Cayman Islands, then it is a Cayman Islands cigar.
Incidentally, that’s how we get our "Cuban" cigars into the U.S. legally. References :
i don’t know much about it but what i do know is
the only way you could get cuban legal cigars is going
to cuba rather then that you cant find it in america it is illegal (in america) References :
You can purchase Cuban cigars anywhere in the eastern Caribbean. When returning to the U.S. simply remove the small wrapper that says where they are made. When questioned by Miami Customs simply tell them they are from the Dominican Republic. (Just don’t bring more than a box back…..any more would throw up a red flag). References :
