Traveling to Costa Rica

[fokker4me]

Has anyone bought cigars in Costa Rica before? I'm not looking to bring any home (to the US)as,  I just order those. I just want to buy some there with the friends I'm going with, and don't want to have to bring all of mine from home. Are there any suggestions on shops to go? We will be staying in Jaco beach and stopping in San Jose. I did read about the LCDH there. Was wondering if there are any better or less expensive options, as there are ten of us.

 

Thanks

9N Cigar Lounge - locations in Escazu (San Jose suburb) and Los Suenos (resort kinda near Jaco), decent selection, moderate price

Havana Humidor Room - (Barrio Amon in San Jose) ***** definitely NOT family friendly location *****, decent selection, best price

LCDH has two locations in San Jose area, best selection, highest price

Jaco cigar mart - actually in Herradura, close to Jaco

Jaco eh? Haha I was there back in March. The new casino/resort at the end of the strip is probably the nicest hang out although it's not like the other casinos.

Jaco cigar mart is ok although their cc selection was very limited when we were there and prices are high, although I guess any legit habanos bough abroad will be expensive.

San Jose airport also had some for sale in the gift shop,although ironically none at the duty free. They appeared genuine from all I could tell however agai were expensive and not stored in any sort of humidity control what so ever.
