Does anyone know how much a box of Romeo No.2's would cost at a government store in Cuba? I pay almost $300 a box here in Canada and friend of mine - who doesn't smoke - has graciously offered to utilize his two box maximum on whatever I want. Can I expect to save a significant amount down there? Is it even worth it?

Thanks,


Andrew

Marty's price list

1 CUC = approx $1.11 USD on a CC

Sorry , I mistook the cigar you were refering to!
Romeo #2 tubos can be had for $149.00 CDN in Canada.

Are you talking about Romeo y Julieta No.2's in the tube? They are very reasonable in Cuba.

Yes, Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos. According to Marty's price list above, these should run around $61.75 plus the 11% exchange. One helluva savings over the $298 I typically pay up here. Some of those prices are much lower than what I expected. I wish he could bring back more than two boxes.

That's why you travel with a wife and possibly some non-smoking friends...Heck, I was 16 bringing back Boxes for my old man,
