Only for the shills and shysters, Mark.

Well, you guys almost have me too scared to post!
I'm flying into Roatan in a few days and was going to try one of these (or maybe more). Are the piers for the cruise lines close to the airport? I see some piers in google maps sort of west, but they may not be for cruise lines. Can anyone get access to this guy, or is it only for people getting on or off a cruise ship? Do you know if the piers are walking distance from the airport? Kind of looks like a couple of kilometers.
Thx

I found the following old contact info

Adalberto Moncada
moncadaciggars@yahoo.com

Don't know if its still good. Probably 6 or 7 tears old

scott1256ca · 02-06-2018, 10:55 PM

Thx. I sent an email. If I get time I get time. If not, then not. We'll see.

scott1256ca · 03-22-2018, 12:12 PM

I never did get a response to my emails.
I did go to Roatan. While I found the cruise ships dock next to the ferry terminal, I never did go see if this guy was still there selling cigars. I did see some of the worst fake bands on Cohibas though. No gold on the label, the yellow was actually greenish and the printing around the face was badly off center.

Sadly Moncada cigars are still illusive unicorns.

The search goes on.....

Say hello to my lil fren.

kelmac07 · 12-31-2018, 06:01 PM

Funny...I just googled Moncada cigars and there are like five different cigar forums that start out with the same exact line:

"Made in Roatan Honduras. My wife just got back today from a cruise and bought me some of these. Some woman was rolling these and she ..."

Hmmm, interesting indeed.

retired · 02-07-2020, 02:41 PM

Deal!! I will return mid April with pics and try to upload a few while there.
There is The Roatan Rum Factory there which sells infused cigars (with their rum) of course that I will also visit.

I thought I ended the madness back in 2017. I had photos, but they're not showing up anymore:

"I have purchased from this dude every time I've cruised through Roatan. $15/5 Robustos, unbanded. I've talked him down to $12/5, but if his female assistant? daughter? wife? is there she doesn't like to negotiate.

I still have two from my last stop there in Dec. 2016. They're pretty tasty and worth picking up, whether it's $15/5 or $20/7."

Pendejo de Puros · 03-15-2020, 04:15 PM

I just returned from an NCL cruise and was in Roatan for the second time.

I purchased my second round of 7-ish x 48-ish torpedoes. They hold together, burn even and have a nice mild demeanor and easy taste. I gave 25 bucks for 7 cigars.

I don't get some of the comments that are analyzing this guy and his cigars as if he must be compared to the major tabacaleras, or as if it is important that we know how to rate his stogies.

Roatan is a poor place. The cruise ships are stopped for 30 days so the people have lost the main source of income. Furthermore, they are not allowed to hunt iguanas or fish for the next 30 days to prevent animal depletion as everyone tries to make a living selling food to the restaurants.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Aldeberto. He sells his cigars to tourists to provide for his family. God help him and his countrymen for the next 30 days.

Me? I always by the local stuff. Not as a way to be a smart guy and insinuate that I really found diamonds in the rough/secrets/special finds that few have experienced. I buy them to commemorate the moment, the times, the people and the day.

To me, that is what every cigar is.

icehog3 · 03-15-2020, 06:11 PM

I don't get how so many people have made their first (and sometimes only) post validating Moncada cigars. So many people sign up to the site just to tell us about them.

My butt itches.
