Trip to Mexico

[Bucky]

My family and I are taking a trip to Yucatan, Mexico soon, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any cigar dealers around the area who sold real Cubans? I don't know if this violates the "don't discuss sources" rule as its in another country. If it does just tell me. But any advice would be helpful

Stick with beer, and avoid the water! :whistling:

If you have to ask :

I don't know if this violates the "don't discuss sources" rule as its in another country.

...it's best not to ask the question, Noob.

In general, if you are inexperienced with authenticating Cuban cigars along with their construction and packaging, it's best to avoid looking to score genuine Cubans on a trip to Mexico.

As well, if you are an American citizen, it is illegal for you to purchase of consume any goods of Cuban origin...even abroad.

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

I'll stick with the others; the majority of places that sell cigars in Mexico are bogus. I have been to Mexico and can verify this. I've seen the visitors, especially the Norte Americanos, de los estados unidos buy bogus cigars.

This does not mean you can't find legitimate cigars in Mexico! But, the sad truth is if you don't know what you are looking for chances are you will be taken.

So the previous advice stands for those that just don't know.

The self promotion was a little much but in response with the topic of the thread and the thread starter's original question.

Rod offers retailer's the option to promote their business through paid sponsorships via advertising banners - all others have the opportunity to use the Retailer's forum at no cost. When a retailer takes it upon themselves to self promote on the regular forum, it becomes problematic.

Some established members at CigarPass, who are also retailer's, have earned the respect of the community by not promoting about their business interests when posting in other forums as a "regular" member.

But are those real?

You'll never get it through customs.

If you used it there, then why would you want to bring it back?

Let's say for instance when someone is looking for a shop in San Antonio, a retailer in San Antonio says that he is in San Antonio. While there is some self-promoting, he is also answering the guys question.

I would stop while I was ahead. You are wrong and Cigar Pass has rules.

I've tried to be tongue in check about this but lately too many new comers to Cigar Pass want to flaunt the board rules. If 3M says it's blatant self promoting , leave it alone. If you want to ask him directly, PM him!

In the Island of Cuba forum, protocol rules.
