Never a fan of cigars, but next time I'm down, may have to check out some Cuban rums, just for the sake of research! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

I think most people here are more interested in buying stuff in SXM and taking home, which we couldn't do before.

Not sure if you know, but what is a normal price of a Cuban cigar in SXM?

It's a relatively new brand (1990's), but has a huge international market. Others, which may be harder to find, are the Nave Don Pancho distillery's Varadero brand and Technoazucur's Ron Mulata brand. They all make a clear rum, as well as various aged rums. The Nave Don Pancho distillery is the oldest, started by Don Fecundo Bacardi.

Longtime cigar smoker myself. Cuba can't keep up with the demand as it is. Quality will be even worse, and they have had bad growing seasons the last 3 years, which is the tobacco that will start to be released now. All bad news for fans of habanos.

JimandJane said: I have always enjoyed smoking a Romeo y Juliet from Emporium on Front Street in Phillipsburg. The staff there is always willing to please, and happy to find someone who enjoys the pleasure of a quality smoke. I am looking forward to trying some of the brands suggested by the other posters here. Also, I would like to find a good store in Marigot. Is the store in Marina Royale a good source? Maya Gift Shop across st from open air market has walkin humidor and large selection. I bought there for several years. They ship to US also.
