Hi,

I was there start of last year & there are a couple of stores on the main street of Bridgetown, one owned by a Cuban exile who I spent an hour talking to. Selection was OK, prices were not that cheap (coloured by being in Cuba for a week beforehand perhaps.)

Avoid the cigar shop in the harbour though , small selection & really pricey.

I did see some boxes available in the small duty free shops, but the selection was pretty average.

Hope that helps.

Be extremely careful about buying Habanos in the Caribbean. It is fugazi central.

Agreed... I was just there and could not beleive my eyes... I would say 90% of them were trash... so bad in fact that a few stores had to bend these so called Sublimes so they would fit in the box. LOL

I would only stick to the LCDH's but I don't think there is one in Barbados.

It was hillarious when we were in Jamacia and Bahammas. I couldnt figure out how every1 knew I smoked cigars. It was the hat I was wearing.

Never saw sooooo many fakes. Alot of them looked like Garcia Vegas with a Cohiba Band.

WHen we went downtown Nassau, My wife was getting scareed for in the straw markets, I had had enough and was fed up with everyone trying to sell fakes. And that is what I told them.

Needless to say , we got on the bus right away and headed back to the resort

The website of La Casa del Habanos reflects no LCDH franhised store on Barbados.
