Tom, RIU really does deal with SAHabanos. The Corp is based out of Portugal and I ?'d them on their selections. The GM of their Playa DeCarmen Property took me into his office and we talked smokes. He then offered me a selection from his humi...took a HDM Churchill and we had a great time. He assured me that the selections in the gift shops @ RIU are "legit".
as for sandals, they were next door to the RIU in MB and their "Naked Resort" was just across the bay......

Had some fresh rolled cigars at the Sandals in Nassau...definitely worth a try, what have you got to lose except a couple bucks? It is a novelty at worst, and maybe a decent cigar at best. A cool experience regardless. 
I definitely would say forget about Cubans...oh, you will see them...and be offered them. And I would bet a year's pay they will all be fake. Nassau, Cancun, Acapulco, every resort town I have been to has scores of places selling Cuban cigars...and the only place I have seen real ones have been an LCdH.  |
