Cuban Cigars & Fake Watches

[alba216]

Were stopping in Cozumel in late September. Has anyone seen or purchased Cuban Cigars down there? Also is it possible to bring them back to the states? Another thing is watches. My little cousin and nephew want some fake Rolexes or some other flashy type of watch. Has anyone seen if these are down there? Thanks

Yes it is possible to bring back Cuban cigars - but if you get caught.....

 

What are the Penalties for Dealing with Illegally Imported Cuban Cigars?

The penalties for illegally importing, buying, selling, trading, giving away or otherwise engaging transactions involving illegally imported Cuban cigars can be very stiff. The cigars can (and likely will) be confiscated. You also may face civil fines of up to $50,000. In some cases you could even face a criminal trial that could result in jail time.

As far as Cuban cigars, this is a good place, but cigars in Mexico are EXPENSIVE!!!!!!! http://www.cozumeltravel.com/Restaurants/Havana%20Club/Havana_Club/HavanaClub.htm

 

Mexico is full of fakes. This place has a good reputation for legitimate cigars. DO NOT buy anything that has a glass top, like glass top Cohiba's. They are fakes. Cohiba has NEVER made a glass top Cohiba box.

 

I don't know anything about watches.

I was there a couple of weeks ago and "Rolexes" were going for about $100.
