Cuban Rock, ever heard of It

MINIATUS · 11-21-2003, 06:19 PM

Has anyone any knowledge about this type of rock and anything about its history.It looks pretty good to me and at a reasonable price. I want to mix it with Tongan, Fiji and Caribbean.

Actually, I've heard the Dominican cigars are surpassing Cubans in quality. The cuban cigar makers are moving to D.R. because of the Americans not being able to purchase.

About the only thing left for Cuban cigars is the mystique.

The Cuban Plantations have deteriorated due to state ownership and poor fertilization. The old cigar rollers are either dead or have left the island.

Hey Minn, let us know about that rock.

I can see it now...

Do you have anything to declare?

ROCKS!!!

how much a pound for the rock min?

MINIATUS · 11-21-2003, 08:30 PM

$9 a lb Canadian, which is a damn good price, and the rock is really porous and light , so you get quite a bit of rock for the money.

Cuban rock from the Canadians, eh? Do you have any pics of it?

Hey Min. I've had friends vacation there recently and go scuba diving. He's an aquarist as well and he says the reefs are awesome. Said he felt like bringing back some rock and corals but decided he didn't want to spend any time in a Cuban jail "getting his cigar rolled" if you know what I mean. Who is carrying Cuban rock here Min?

MINIATUS · 11-22-2003, 03:29 PM

Ken
Aquarium services in London is carrying it, $10 bucks a lb. Its really nice looking rock too. They said its hard to get Fuji because of a ban on importing rock and corals from there.

Cuban Rock? Sure I remember now, I heard some of that. A Cuban Rock band opened for the Rolling Stones concert in '82.

Unfortunately it is affected by the embargo. Technically Americans can not contribute to the Cuban economy in any way. Even if you are buying something from another country, if it came from Cuba it is deemed illegal.

I've thought about this evey time I have smoked a Cuban cigar.
