Quick answers
Do you sell Cuban cigars?
No. Cuban cigars cannot legally be sold in the United States. We carry hundreds of Cuban-seed blends from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Honduras that many aficionados prefer.
Should I store cigars without the cellophane?
Either is fine. Cellophane slows humidity exchange slightly and protects the wrapper; remove it if you want faster aging and don't move cigars around.
What to do if your cigars are dry
Re-humidify slowly: 65% RH for a week, then 69–70%. Never spray water directly on the wrapper.
