B&M Bahamas?

timj219 · 01-15-2014, 08:28 PM

Heading to Nassau and Freeport next week (Port Canaveral too actually) and I'd like to find a good B&M or lounge while there. I know Graycliff is in Nassau but I don't know if they carry any brands but their own. I know I'll have many opportunities to buy fake Cubans but I don't know if I will find anything genuine.

Anybody been lately? Any advice is welcome.

Havana Humidor at Atlantis. Bring an extra black market organ to barter with Adam.

Havana Humidor will have the only legit Cubans you will find in Nassau. Fugazi is everywhere, liquor stores, kiosks, and dudes on the beach.

Last time I was there, beach dude offered me Esplendidos for $20 apiece. Ended up buying 3 for $15 for a hoot. Actually wasn't a horrible $5 cigar.

Last time I was there I happened across a little sandwich/dessert shop that had a guy rolling cigars out on the front porch. I bought one and it was the best cigar I think I have ever had. I still kick myself for not getting a few more. I was also offered a cigar by a guy selling them at a beach bar. I didn't trust that guy, so I didn't buy. Don't forget that you can smoke anyplace indoors or outdoors and you don't have to rely on any specific B&M.

LOL smoking inside has been forbidden for so long in New York I completely forgot it's still allowed some places!

Well maybe I'll skip the legit Cubans then. We had not planned to visit the Atlantis resort. I'll save that for the next next time I'm in Canada. Although I suspect the legit Canadian dealers near the border get premium+ prices also. I think I will try to make time for a visit to Graycliff though.

Graycliffs are one of my favorite NCs, and I dont have many!

I've never had one. I just bought a 5er of the originals though to try a couple before we get to Nassau. Maybe that will push me one way or the other about visiting.

I was in college at the time, but I remember that the original ones by Lara were incredible. The ones from the Graycliff floor are excellent, and even the Blue and Blacks are fantastic. You'll enjoy yourself either way, cigar, no cigar. I'd recommend that you bring your own unbanded smokes.
