Real Habanos in Mexico, but REAL BAD!

Hoyo Double Coronas!!!

Trinidad!

These cigars were in the worst shape I have ever seen that were still for retail sale. What years are these box codes??

But from what I observed they were REAL! Hahaha Vintage!!!

I ran into the same thing on our cruise last year in St. Thomas. There were multiple stores that were open to the outside air with 80%+ humidity that had boxes and boxes of cigars on shelves with no humidors in sight. They all looked exactly like your pictures!

NISA is December of 1996 and OISA is February of 1998.

Too bad they weren't stored better. The Wrappers on both of them look pretty rough

You're like one of those millennial kids on your phone all the time on vacation! Enjoy your trip!

Such a shame

Buyer Beware when in ANY port of call in the Caribbean or Mexico. Buying cigars there is like taking a trip to find a Rescue Animal to take home...you have no idea what you're getting and it's almost ALWAYS bad.

Rule of thumb is if you find one fake box...they are all fake boxes. The boxes and bands may be legit...but that is about it. Pay the premium and stick to la casa...over pay on a couple sticks and enjoy it as a vaca treat.

That happened to me to when I went on my honey moon in Mexico, I was so happy I brought my own. So upset. HOWEVER!! The guy at the LCDH made the best mojitos!!!

I'm not surprised. Went to a LCDH in Cancun years ago and the humidity was so high in their humidor a lot of the cigars were moldy. Of course the ladies there tried to tell me it was desirable plume not mold. A real shame as there were some well aged cohibas and others there.

The owner of the Cancun store own the LCDH in Tijuana as well. I never been to that location but heard it's nice.

The box codes on open (singles) boxes at that LCDH are meaningless, as they refill the boxes in the walk-in so they don't have to change out the price tags.

I wasn't talking about the box codes on the refilled boxes of singles, moot point anyway cuz the condition of the cigars were deplorable

I have been to the one in Cancun, went this year in June, if it was as the other member stated years ago they have come a long way. They had an impressive selection of sticks and the humidity system was on point, everything I smoked from there was top notch.

That's how I feel about the one in cabo... top notch! Amazing drinks as well

The owner is a cool guy. Known him since like 2001-02.
