Question
Hi,
Can you tell me of a good Cuban cigar dealer in Cancun.  Preferably, I will be visiting the area south of Cancun called Playa Del Carmen and looking to purchase cigars there or in Cancun.  Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.  Thanks

Answer
La Casa Del Habana the cuban cigar franchise began in Cancun in 1990.
But for the life of me I cannot find an address. The closest I can get is near the Ritz Carlton Cancun.
Try to find more if you can or ask when you get there. La Casa Del Habana is the best in the world for Cuban cigars.Get some rare or limited editions if you can.
Try Sancho Panza Belicoso older ones if you can. Or other limited editions only available in the La Casa store. Ramon Allones specially selected is good Partagas Edicion limitado is good and strong.
Special Bolivar Cigars are made just for La Casa and more...
Expect prices from $10 to $50.
Or buy some cheap fakes on the streets for $5.

Sorry about the delay in the answer as I was out of town.
