Bob....You may see a slight price difference once you get away from downtown Havana, maybe $10. John
The prices in Habana Viejo shops, in Vedado, in Centro and in Miramar and points west were all the same. the prices in Varadero were the same.
There were up to seven or eight of us in both Havana and the resorts all buying cigars and nobody saw anything but standard pricing.
YMMV, but I can only report what we paid.
If you are buying in a resort store in Cayo Coco or Holguin then you will likely be paying a markup in any case but as of the end of November, all the Casa del Habano, Casa del Tabaco and Tiendas Tabacos stores still kept to the official Caricol price list.
As everyone knows, if you buy your "Cohibas" from the lifeguard, you can "save" hundreds of dollars per box.

But if there IS a price increas, it will probably come in February!
