Rare crewsweeper Posted April 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'd stick with the shops/kiosk in the port. YABA Ding Ding in Coxen Hole used to carry cigars. Penelope's in the West Bay mall has a full line of Honduran cigars and some Cubans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamingBig1 Posted April 9, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks crewsweeper. First time doing a western itinerary, so I asked the same question on every port forum on my itinerary. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted April 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The most extensive and nicely appointed cigar bar I’ve seen in all of our travels was in West End. They had individual walls from different areas (Cuba, DR, Nicaragua and Honduras) with many options from each area. What a magnificent place to find while on vacation!!! ;) Unfortunately during our visit last year it was closed and being revamped, not sure if it will be reopened. It’s definitely worth taking the time to post this question to the experts/locals on the Roatan forum on tripadvisor to find out if it will be or not. If not there is a good cigar store (good humidor storage) in West End across the street (on the beach side of the road), I bought some nice Cubans there for a decent price. Also a couple of excellent Honduran cigars that I really liked. Beware smaller or less reputable shops in town, and never, never but from vendors on the beach as I’m sure you know… AS an aside, West End is a great place to get dropped by your guide or taxi and take a $2pp water taxi over to West Bay. Some other western Carib destinations have good options and some do not. I believe I saw this post for Costa Maya, there I would come prepared and bring a cigar with you to wherever you’re going. Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
