[quote]Hi Everyone. I just returned home from a vacation to Cuba. I picked up a bunch of cigars, and would like to move some of them on.
I have 2 boxes of 25 Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios (50 total). They are located in Ontario Canada, and I'm willing to ship.
these were purchased from a well established LCDH in Cuba, with receipts to prove. They are unopened in the original decorative wooden boxes inside cardboard boxes. I have stored them properly in a humidor. Basically these are mint boxes with only some superficial shipping scuffs to the protective cardboard from being tossed around in my luggage at the airport  
I would prefer not to break them up, but I will consider all offers.
[b]I am looking to get $1000 per box.[/b]
Please if you have any questions at all, PM me.

By the way, take a look at this video of the Maduro 5 GENIUS. And the comments. Comments are GOLD.

At this price, I'll have to light each cigar with matches rather than lit $20 bills.

I am pretty sure he said it was hundies that he used, while he is zipping around in his M3 at breakneck speed, or just takign a leisure stroll in his new ML350.  He is the only one who comes on cigar boards to brag about his materialistic properties... he must have lived in a cardboard box growing up and ate dirt to survive.

LOL.  That's hilarious.  That date stamp looks terrible.  A "0" would not be used as an "O," which in the case of this box it looks like AG007, instead of AGO 07.

Great comments!!!  :nana:

Exactly... most of the reputable vendors that I have seen, charge about 380-420 for a box of Genios.  This guy went to a lot of trouble to sneak these back to the USA, especially after he paid 943 for them in Cuba.
