Punta cana cubans?

[justinphilly]

Here it is, in a nutshell...

If you go ANYWHERE in the world, and you DONT buy your cubans at an LCDH, chances are, the cigars are fake. Evem if you go somewhere where Cubans are legal! I would say 90%, if not more, of the cigars sold anywhere else, including airports, hotels, bars, restaurants, street vendors, cigar shops (yes cigar shos, NOT with an LCDH logo) are fake.. Period.

Plus, even if you do find an LCDH somewhere, the prices are insane! I paid $45.00 for a Cohiba Siglo III that wasnt even good.

Moral of the story, bring your own, know your source, smoke good cigars..

(dam, that was a big-a$$ nut shell!)

To find legitimate CC's while traveling your best bet is to look for a Habanos S.A authorized retailer there should be a sign or you can look on the Habanos website although you may have to e-mail them.

I can't agree with you there.... over 90% is a big number. go to any cigar shop up here in Canada and I would say 90% of stuff sold are REAL.

i guess it is a big #, but i dont think its MUCH lower.. ESPECIALLY in a caribbean island, aka third world country.. But either way, im not sure ANYONE should be buying cigars in Canada.. With all the taxes charged and all...

Ah, Punta Cana.

The custom rolled are good. Sometimes they will let you try one first.
I wouldn't waste my money on the expensive maybe CCs.
