How cheap are Cuban Cigars in Mexico?

I'm soon going to Mexico and heard it's a really good place to buy Cuban Cigars. (Some people say even better then Cuba!) How cheap are they there compared to prices in England?

They are not cheap, counterfeit cigars are cheap but real ones are not cheap.

Herfnerd was right it's way easier to find counterfeit Cuban cigars than it is to find real ones. In fact it always makes me laugh when I see the Cohíbas in tourist areas in a glass top box. Every time there is a cruse ship in port here there are guys hawking these "Cuban" cigars.

The packaging is nice enough, the labels are not too bad, they even have fake cuban government duty stamps. if you look closely though you may see faults, like the colours in the cigar bands vary slightly or the ends of the band do not line up perfectly. But the biggest tip off to the fact that it's fake is that Cohíba does not make a glass top box! If you want to be sure you have a real Cuban you need to go to a reputable smoke shop and then they are not cheap.

Cuban cigars are expensive no mater where you go - Even in Cuba a box of 25 would be $300 USD or more so if there's a guy on a street in Mexico going to sell you a box of 5 for $10 what are the odds they are fake? If you said 100% you are correct :p

Taxes are cheaper in Mexico though so yes they should be cheaper than the UK but they are still not cheap.

Below is a price list from a reputable cigar place here in Merida. Not sure what prices are like at airport duty free shops but they will have some Cuban cigars there too if it's a larger airport.

I'm visiting near the Trocadero area (near the Eiffel tower), and am curious where is a good location to find Cuban cigars. I have heard a lot of rumors about counterfeits outside of Cuba, and am not experienced enough to know the difference.

There are several cigar stores in Paris. There is also a little cigar specialist in the 4th on the Rue Francois Miron.

travelling to canada, what is the law with bringing back one box of cuban cigars?

Johnwey — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 13:26:02 +0000

I live in michigan and I want to know what the law is on bringing back one box of cuban cigars for personal use. what should I do?

Melanie is a bit incorrect - while Cuban goods are legal in Canada, it is still technically illegal for an American citizen to purchase them, even in countries where they are legal.

As for getting caught, that is another matter......

But to answer your question, it is illegal for you to purchase and bring back Cuban cigars.

Can you now bring back 5 cuban cigars to the US per person when traveling home from abroad?

Johnwey — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:18:07 +0000

I was told in Mexico that it is ok for a US citizen, because of a change made by President Obama, to bring back 5 cuban cigars per person into the United States. I can't find any proof of this online. Does anyone know the answer?

That is the proposal, but the ban on Cuban exports is still in effect. You are still forbidden to travel to the country of Cuba and you may not bring into the US any product made in Cuba. Sorry.
