One question is when are you going to CR and what city or cities are you planning to stay at?
About 16 yrs ago, my wife and I traveled to CR to visit her parents (retirement) in a small village named Samura located in the Province of Guanacaste (Samara is located due SSE of Nicoya). We stayed in Samara a little over two weeks. The rest of the time in San Jose.
We flew into San Jose and stayed a few nights at the Hotel Santo Tomas. A great little Hotel which is (or was) owned by an American and his Tico wife (an attorney):

I don't see why you shouldn't take a few of your favorite cigars with you, but keep an open mind to the locally grown tobacco's and blends produced in CR, and you may come away with a new all-time favorite for yourself. Here's a couple of links for your review:

And, if you enjoy coffee, then you'll be in the heartland of the green coffee bean. Cafe Brit, located just outside of town in San Jose, has a great tour of their coffee plantation.
Hope you have a great time in CR Zach and remember to keep an open mind while visiting down that way
