Costco Has Cigars Now?

If in the US, not Cuban. If in Canada, that would be a heck of a price. Although legal to bring Cuban goods into US in your possession for personal use, still not legal to sell or import.

That is the problem with some of these free-standing humidors in other settings. The employees rarely know anything about cigars and the storage conditions are highly suspect. Even the humidity / temperature controlled units are not likely to be maintained or even set properly. I was in a liquor store once that had a cigar cabinet. They had a household humidifier in there spewing out water vapor to the point of condensation on the glass. The humidity was in the 90's with visible mold on several cigars. Saw another humidor in a grocery store, humidity, if you could believe the cheap analog hygrometer in it, read in the mid 50's.

You may be able to get some reasonable cigars, but I would use caution.

Which Costco was this at? I was just at a store in AZ and I didn't see anything like this.

Thanks for the input on this Mark,
Not being able to be there myself I wasn't able to inspect the unit or contents. All my wife knows about cigars is she hates how 50% of them smell, LOL
