One thing we noted last year. The MXN ‘paper’ money is are made of polymer (same as Canadian money), not cotton/linen like USD. It can actually get wet without damaging the bills. The bills tend to stick together if they’re wet, but otherwise are fine.

As a long time afficianado, I can say some of my favorite cigars are Cubans. II just returned from a trip to Cuba in March) My very top selection is the Montecristo #2. They sell these at virtually every cigar shop around town, but I warn you, last time I went looking I didn't think a single one of them from a single store (and I looked at every one I could find) were authentic. The real cigar I describe has a slightly shiny wrapper and a rich, full taste and aroma. Every one I saw looked like it was wrapped in sandpaper (a rough, non-sheen wrap) and even the bands weren't raised like the real ones are. Every little shop in Cancun sells what they pass off as Cuban Cohibas, but first, that really isn't a very good stick when it IS authentic and if you can buy them for 3 or 4 bucks a stick, you can rest assured they are bogus. The only real place I would trust is the duty free at the airport, and they don't sell single cigars, only boxes.
So it appears you are stating that there are no authentic Cubans available in Cancun area? Well there is Mike “The Cuban” at TTR!
you could ask someone on staff … or if you get a butler ask them if anyone would know it would be one of them
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that the "Cuban" cigars sold everywhere around Cancun are indeed cheap fakes. It's like buying Oakley sunglasses anywhere around the city or on the beach. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find an ACTUAL pair of Oakleys. Everything you see are "FOakleys". If you want something that says it comes from Cuba to take back to a pal that wants to boast he has a "Cuban" cigar, go ahead. If you're shopping to take back to a real cigar freak, don't waste your money and don't make him put on a fake smile and say "Great! Thank you so much!" (followed by a less than enthusiastic shoulder squeeze).
