It has been mentioned on this form a few times that to insure you get real CC's in Cuba that you should only go to official La Casa de Habano stores. There is a link that lists the locations http://lacasadelhabano.com/web/index.php/en/franchises/search-franchises
I have been to Cuba many times and there is usually a cigar shop on the resort properties. I was told all those shops are "official" Habanos shops. It makes sense to me since there is on one company allowed to run cigar shops in Cuba and I don't think the large resort owners are going to try and get around that law. I have never had an issue with anything I've purchased at these resort stores. I'm not talking about buying CC's in town or on the beach from suspect sellers. That's another story.
Am I wrong in thinking that all resort cigar stores are licenced Habanos stores ?
