Going to Riviera Maya Mexico

Stay away from the major brands, as they are most likely fakes at the hotel cigar shop.

I'm going to Riviera Maya in April (staying at Azul Sensatori), and am bringing my own smokes. I may buy one or two just to see how bad the fakes are, but not really counting on authentic product. I would not buy Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, etc. See if they have something like Quintero, Juan Lopez, or Por Larranaga. I would think counterfeiters would stick to higher priced (and more famous brand named) sticks to maximize profits.

In the hotel, expect high prices and likely fake cigars. In public, expect all fake cigars.
