gailc Posted October 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2008 We will be in St. Maarten on Nov. 11, 2008 which is a holiday so the shops will be closed except the ones right by the dock. Is there a shop there where Cuban Cigars are sold? Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtumundo Posted October 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Most cigars being passed off as Cuban are fake. The only way to get real Cuban is to go to Cuba or buy from an authorized seller. They almost always have a sign in the store window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stones902 Posted October 23, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2008 There is a cigar shop in town near Majesty jewelers. I don't recall it's name. They do sell authentic cubans (you can tell from the tax stamp). I don't know if they will be open or not but we were in Phillipsburg on a holiday a few years ago and most shops opened late.

Spurs Fans Posted October 24, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Stones is correct. There is a shop right on the dock (with the other shops) that has a fairly good stock of tax stamped Cubans. It is one of the first stores that you will come to. It sells shirts and other souveniers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainChemicals Posted October 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2008 If you want to purchase authentic Cuban cigars on St. Maarten, go to La Casa del Habanos on Front St. in Phillipsburg. DO NOT buy from duty free stores with signs touting “Authentic Cuban Cigars". There are only two officially licensed Habanos S.A. stores on the island. The other store is in the town of Marigot on the French side of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
