1. Partagas and RyJ have factory stores. There is also an LCDH in the Havana Libre Hotel. For a one stop shop, the LCDH is your best bet.

2. Depends on whether she will bring back to cabs of 25 or singles, and you will have to determine this. In any event, I'd give her $500 and tell her you'll make up the deficit if you want 50 sticks.

I'd allocate the 50 sticks in this manner:

10 Montecristo No. 2
10 Partagas Serie D 4
10 Bolivar Corona Extra
10 Hoyo du Monterrey Epicure 2
5 Trinidad Robusto T
5 Cohiba Siglo VI

However, these are all standard smokes. If I had the luxury of walking into an LCDH, I'd spring for the harder to obtain Edicion Limitada, and Regional Edicion releases.
