Hullo Alan.Personally,I don't bother too much with cigar boxes.I tend now to buy a plain box and either decorate it with cigar box labels or paint,stain or decoupage it.I believe the ban on Cuban boxes is pretty much worldwide...

Hi,

It does seem ridiculous, cigar boxes being on the same list as guns, drugs, offensive material etc, but never mind, I'm starting to get hold of plain boxes as well now, also, traffic to my own site is picking up so hopefully Ebay won't be that important to me soon.  My supplier sends boxes on a "lucky dip" basis, if I tell them roughly what size I want, but their stock is nearly all Cuban.  Funnily enough I put in an order last week asking for 20 of a certain size, and when the delivery came 15 of them were from NIcaragua!

Cheers

Alan

And they;re impossible to argue with, even though Amazon, another US company that operates worldwide deals in loads of Cuban goods!
