Mexico City- Centro or otherwise recommendations?

[La_Tigre]

We are currently in Mexico City staying in the Historic City Center area. Looking for current cigar bar recommendations and opportunities to purchase any regional edition, etc... We can travel about anywhere in the city so any advice is greatly appreciated since we are already here!

Wife and I are looking to visit Mexico City early next year.  Looking forward to the tips.

I've visited Mexico City a few times for business purposes, but have always been too busy to delve in much.

A couple of years ago, the LCDH in Polanco had a nice selection, and was carrying the Edmundo Dantes Belicoso. Prices aren't cheap.

Most if not all Sanborn's Department Stores carry a small selection of Habanos. 

If visiting Polanco, the museum that houses Carlos Slim's collections is well worth a visit.

Dinner in Coyoacan was a nice respite from the large city atmosphere of much of the DF.

We did attend Lucha Libre one night while I was there. It was a riot, but the neighborhood, not so much. I don't think I'd do it without a local host.

Now is a neat time to be there, with all of the Day of the Dead preparations going on.

Would that I had more for you...

Has anyone bought Habanos at a Costco in Mexico?

Delegados and the LCDH in Polanco.

You can probably still get Edmundo Dantes at Duty Free for $350?

Maybe these will still be @ LCDH polonco.

Definitely Cigar Bar Delegados, great ambiance and customer service.

I purchased a single Punch Duke (~$28 US) (from a sealed caja) at Sanborn’s(of all places) in Centro.

Drowning with the rats right now.

Mexico City airport is where I picked up my last box.

I checked a few areas near our gate and found nothing of interest. Stock was quite limited to ref production. If you like $63/stick Siglo VI, there were those....

Well this was 6 months ago... there were 3 other boxes there, but maybe those were the last 3??
