Rare sid_9169 Posted October 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Most of the "genuine Cuban cigars" you find at cruise ports are fake... The only place in Cozumel I would trust would be La Casa Del Habano, in downtown San Miguel, across from the ferry pier. It's about an $8 cab ride from the Puerta Maya pier...

maldenmusic Posted October 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My husband talks about Havana Bobs being a good place. I think it's in the downtown area close to the water front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know this is correct. They are THE Registered agents for Cuban cigars around the world. Not sure what Havana Bob's is hawking as Cuban but supposedly his other cigars are very good in quality. Remember that a lot of Cuban growers when to Central American Countries after the revolution and took seeds or plants with them. The are Nicaraguan cigars that come from those ancestral plants.

blue_water Posted December 7, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Actually several Central America countries (Honduras, Nicaragua) have their own unique blends of tobaccos and many are excellent. Every area has different tobaccos, including Cuba. And many of the great cigars coming out of the DR are made by growers who fled Cuba when Castro came into power and are from Cuban seeds. I may enjoy a nice Cuban when visiting other countries, but I also enjoy nice cigars from the other countries just as much. We spend more time in Mexico now and I've found excellent cigars from there that are very enjoyable. So do a bit more research on the subject so you're not spending more than you need to enjoy a nice, quality cigar.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920V using Forums mobile app this is the only place I know of everyone else sell fake ones that are easy to tell if you smoked it. All the other vendors on the beaches or the little stores are all fake. that is why they haggle the price they are not going to hold onto expensive cigars hoping to sell them. Everything they sell in there is a knock off of something else. I try not to buy any of that junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
