Real Cuban cigars are a bit harder to get...but can be found at some higher end establishments.
Watch how quickly the prices for cigars will go up.
Buying "genuine" Cuban cigars in Jamaica has always been a bit of a concern. Countrfeits have always flooded the market, even being found at reputable establishments and at the airport etc... . This will become even more prevelent now that U.S. citizens will be snatching them up.
To be sure you are getting the real deal it is worth the visit to the the LCDH outlet. These outlets are licenced to sell authentic Cuban cigars and are found throughout the world. I belive there is now one in Mo Bay and another in Falmouth at the cruise ship terminal.
Stoner 86.....I'm heading to Cuba in December, I'll be sure to pick you up a nice one, for when I see you in Feb !!!!!! :)
Awesome Jojo. We'll see you in Feb for sure. Red dragon and then stop in at Collettes?
Hey Chris! And yes , Lisa and I saw this! Anyone know if the cigar shop in Times Square, Negril is licensed to sell authentic Cuban cigars?
I've been buying my authentic Cubans for the last 8 years from the Irie Jams shop next to Tree House...Tarun the owner has always given me the best prices & I bring back 6 boxes home as per all my buddies request (I don't smoke'em)...they love them....the boxes always have shrink wrap on them to keep them as fresh as possible....he has a nice walk-in humidor too.
I've tried a lot of cigars from different stores in Negril. All have been fakes. Some actually pass the look and box code test, but then you light it up and the ash is black cheap tobacco. If I wanted to make sure I get a real Cuban I would go to Habanos SA in Montego Bay. The address is listed on the La Casa De Habanos website.
