Cuban cigars?

Posted: November 11, 2009 at 1:57 pm 4 Comments

A friendis going to Holguin and has offered to bring me some cigars . Is there a good place in Holguin or is the airport in Havana any good for buying real Cubans ;I don't want those rolled up floor sweepings they sell on the beach .What currency are they using these days and what would a box of Monte Cristos #4 be worth these days .

The Cuban Cigar is a myth really, its no different than other cigars, its only valuable because it is a status symbol.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT buy any cigars from the hotel staff, the pool boys, a beach guy.
Buy only at one of the government stores or a store at one of the hotels.
That way you know you are getting the real thing,
The airports all have government stores in them.
I bought 25 Monte Cristos #4 at the Varadero airport and if I remember correctly it was equivalent $90 US two years ago.
You light up the real thing and you have a real smoking experience.
US money is out of favour in Cuba these days.
Being a Canadian I took canadian dollars and it was readily accepted.

Cohibas are really good cigars, only the finest tobacco is used for making them, best place to get cigars in Cuba is at the cigar factory in Havana or at the airport on the way out, the currency is still peso’s and you can still take sterling with you, no American dollars though, they won’t accept them now.
