Headed To Mexico & I Got A Question
 
The wife and I are headed to Cancun and I was wondering what the cigar situation is down there. From posts on here and other sites I have gathered that Mexican cigars are not too highly regarded but can you buy others such as Nics, Hons, Dems, & CC's? I am wondering if I am going to need to load up the Otter Box for the trip or just take a few and pick up some while I'm down there. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks :banger

If you must buy cigars look for the official habanos dealer down there :dr

Take your own. What you find down there will be fake or ridiculously expensive.

Yup, take your own. Prices are steep. You'll see a lot of glass top box CCs down there that'll you want to stay away from. :) The LCDH might be worth checking out though.

Hit the LCdH there in February. Nice place with a cool deck in the back for smoking and drinking. They make the country's best Mojitos, I recommend having one...or four.

The sticks are quite expensive, so I picked something I hadn't seen or tried at that point. Smoked a Ramon Allones Phoenecio and had a relaxing time. I would definitely recommend spending an afternoon there for the experience, but wouldn't necessarily recommend buying more than a single...unless you like Taboadas, they had a nice selection back in Feb.

This is where I went when I went down last year. This is the ONLY place I'd buy CC stogies in Mexico.

Have fun and be safe. :tu

Yup...saw several cigar stores in Cancun, and EVERY CCthey had was fake, excepting the ones at LCdH.

Almosy every souvenir store had glass top boxes...I wanted to bring home a box of Esplendidos, but the prices weren't "fake". :r

You're NOT joking, Tom...the prices were painfully "real". :D:r

I found that even the TeAmos were more expensive in Mexico than at home.:(
Be sure to take a tour to some Mayan ruins. It's pretty cool.

My Wife and I are going to Playa Del Carmen next Friday. 5th Avenue has five really good cigar stores and two legit places to buy Cubans. Also Walmart is a good source for legit cubans as well.

Good evening, still sorry I missed you Admiral.

As the others have said - only one place to buy in Cancun and that is the LCDH. They have a pretty good selection and as was mentioned as well the Tabbys are very good, pricey, but very good!

Let me know the dates and if I am in town we can herf at LCDH one afternoon.

Respectfully,

Travis
