Hello everyones i want too introduce my self
I quit cigartettes smoking in may 2019.
Then after fews months well i had a pack of montecristo puritos hidden somewhere i had received from a friend.
They wheres theres sinces a while and i had somes shit happens things!
Soo yea i ran too and guess what!
Since i only smokes fews cubans mades cigarrillos a day.
Iam sure its more wealthy than a pack of cigatette a day.
But its very expensive! Around 28$ the pack of 20!
And since a while i think why not make them myself and maybe its more cheap!?
Soo iam here with many questions!
My first one what mix would taste like cuban cigar?
And i read a lot before posting there and iam a litle confused about the fee tax coustom handling etc
If i want too try with 2 pound can you please tell me i much i need too add over the prices of the leafs?
Thank you

I would suggest you look over the cigar blend kits, available from Wholeleaftobacco.com:

Hi. Welcome from Edmonton. I agree with Bob on the kits. It's a good way to start.

The tobacco is sent with a printout of the relevant Excise Act information affixed to the outside to ensure that Canadian customs doesn't make any errors. I have been ordering multiple times a year for years, and the only mistakes I have encountered is them not charging me anything. The duty on whole leaf tobacco, which Canada calls raw leaf tobacco, is $1.57/kg + gst. Quebec may also charge PST, I don't know.

In theory, if there was a mistake and you were charged duty on it as though it were pipe tobacco, it would be just that, a mistake, and WLT could forward you the customs reassessment document. I've never actually seen it needed except a friend got dinged badly on cologne that was in the shape of cigar tubes.

Welcome I am on a pipe forum on facebook. I smoke cigs so its a good time to take advantage of the sale on the buy 3 get1 free. I have smoked a cohiba and the closest is a dominican I believe are cuban seed. The cigarellos are a mini cigar so my suggestion is Whole Leaf Tobacco – Oscuro y Rico Cigar Blend Kit, 1lb. I am not sure if t kits are on the deal Whole Leaf Tobacco – Azucarado Oscuro II Cigar Blend Kit, 1lb. Whole Leaf Tobacco – Category: Cigar Blends ARe the ones I would suggest. States are just being allowed to sell cuban cigars. I am rambling but if you want to go back to cigarettes this stuff will leave you satisfied without the chemicals.

Which "States" might those be?

Bob

 

[burge]

The whole of you guys in the states its just been legalized to have a cuban cigar

New US sanctions on Cuba: ban on the import of cigars and liquors — MercoPress Sucks to live in the States if you like Cuban cigars

 

[burge]

It would be illegal for Don to sell Cuban leaf according to this. in reference to Canadian lingo the States is referenced to the USA and its quite common. to say are you going to the States this year? i get my tobacco from the States etc

 

[ZlITTeR]

I wonder if cuban sell whole leaf
Maybe no as they keep all production for making cigars

 

[burge]

I think it's highly regulated the cohibas are nice Dad goes there every year and brings back a stash. You can find them in the cigar shops . United is the one here. Bohikres are nice
