WARNING!!!
FAKE CIGARS - ESPECIALLY "Cuban's"
Sadly, there seem to be MANY places around Costa Rica selling fake cigars - especially Cubans!! I hear the biggest proliferation seemed to be 5-packs of Montecristo #4's, plus Cohibas and Romeo Y Julitas as well.
These are OFTEN found in Tourist and Souvenir shops.
With that said - here's where you can buy REAL cigars - many made in Costa Rica, Nicaragua (I hear that Cuba has even sent some seeds over to Nicaragua and they're EXCELLENT and they are growing them on such places as Isla Ometepe and Granada!!!)

TIPS FOR BRINGING YOUR CIGARS BACK TO THE U.S.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
This is a good thing since Bringing back to the U.S. - heck - or even Smoking
CUBAN CIGARS
are
HIGHLY ILLEGAL
for
AMERICANS
EVEN if you're traveling in another country!!!
Now, I think this law is BEYOND ASININE
BUT - I'm going to give you the warning anyways (both to cover my tush for printing ANYTHING about Cuban Cigars [OHHH MY - SINFUL!!!])
THE U.S. LAW
Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, (Revised September 30, 2004) are administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Criminal penalties for violation of the Regulations can go as high as $1 million for corporations, and
$250,000 for individuals + up to 10 years in prison!
In addition,
Civil penalties of up to $65,000 per violation can be imposed by OFAC.
Here's a GOOD site for more details on it:
