Aquahound Posted June 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2009 For what it's worth, most of the Cuban cigars sold in the islands are fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted June 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2009 If you ask around onboard, you can find out where the legitimate shops are. The officers will know. That said, it's hardly worth the money since you can't bring them back into the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahqa Posted June 28, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Keep in mind that Cuban cigars are illegal to be brought into the US. If you declare them they will be confiscated and if you don't declare them you can get in trouble. So.... if you find them for sale make sure you smoke them all before returning to the US. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHADEN Posted June 28, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Do you have a favorite brand? If you do (or even if you don't), go to this website: http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Counterfeits/Counterfeit_Gallery/0,3390,,00.html and print out the Bands for each kind and be sure to check for Counterfiets. There are probably more counterfiets out there than Genuine Cubans. Hope This Helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted June 28, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Also, at big cruise ship ports, they know Americans are looking for Cubans and have the priced jacked up. It's funny to hang around cigar stores ... lots of guys come up with the chests puffed looking for cubans and silently slink away when they aren't a buck or two (or ten) per stick.
