mwoody1967 Posted May 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I need some help. I know there are a lot of smart folks here who have the answer to this question. I am going on a Southern Caribbean cruise this summer and will be at Grand Turk, La Romana Dominican Republic, Aruba, and Curacao and I was wondering if there were some "authentic" shops that someone might be able to purchase some Cuban cigars? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_G Posted May 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Just Google "La Casa del Habanos" and the ports you're visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitzmark Posted March 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Many people feel that cigars from Honduras or Nicaragua are better than Cubans today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMEBEECH Posted March 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Many people feel that cigars from Honduras or Nicaragua are better than Cubans today. If I recall correctly during the revolution in Cuba many seeds were taken to Nicaragua and Honduras. Back when I enjoyed cigars I bought ones that said Cuban tobacco but rolled in Honduras and such.

sailor05 Posted March 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Not just the seeds, the workforce with the experience rolling them. A lot of them went to the Dominican Republic as well. And there the dirt and the climate are about exactly the same being that they are neighbors so I'll take a good cigar from the before I put any money in the Castro regime pockets.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I won't put anything in the Castros pockets either. I would love to go to Cuba but I won't go until a new regime. I have friends that escaped on rafts from there and seeing hidden camera documentaries have confirmed their stores for me. While they are free to have whatever political system they want I won't participate. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscobeans Posted March 12, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2017 POLITICS ASIDE; Do not spend 10-20-30 dollars for a cigar that is touted to be CUBAN unless you buy it at a true "La Casa del Habanos" shop. Unless you know from experience every sign of a true CUBAN grown and rolled cigar don't chance it...Everything from the box to the band will be perfect but that means NOTHING... No longer partake but have had many years of experience.... OMO bosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
