Educate Me On Cancun

[Conch Republican]

My 2 cents (travel to Mexico for work) is to be careful - use your head and stay on the resort. (I travel a lot for work and was in Cancun and Playa del Carmen for vacation, Monterrey for work, etc).
If you are going to another area - go as a group (larger the better). Sorry I am stressing this, but from personal experience - some of my team has had issues there - it's best to use lots of common sense.

That said - I would (IMHO) only trust the LCdH, and no other places for cigars. We brought our own, and other than getting the glass top Cohibo's for fun's sake...that was it.

Absolutely Mark, I guess I didn't stress that in my post. Almost every shop has glasstops for sale, and even the couple places besides LCdH that are "cigar shops" have nothing but fakes, save a couple PCs in tubos.

Thanks for the responses!

When you say "stay in the resort" are you including the entire hotel zone or you mean, stay hotel to hotel? I have assumed that the entire hotel zone, mall, bars and restaurants ect are good... Just don't rent a scooter and go bopping outside that area.... Wrong?
