And is it a good deal to get some rum for rum punch mixing in our room or should we wait to go into town? We are very tight on time (only four nights) with such a short visit, so if we can save some $ and time, that's a bonus. Normally I would be more hell bent on giving local places business, but this shortie of a trip will make that a bit more difficult for snacks (we'll bring snacks) and booze. We can get juices easily, I assume.

Recommendations for a solid rum? I love me some Malibu back home...
What you can do for smokes buy at the duty free in your US airport. The smokes you will get in Jamaica will not be the same. The pack will look the same but they are from a different Tabacoo farm. They will not taste the same. Buying duty free at the US airport will be with out all your state taxes. I think you are allowed 1 carton per person per week
