I think it's slightly cheaper in the US's duty free but it's like a couple dollars per bottle so not really noticeable. I don't think they ever check for amount of alcohol you bring in through customs. Cancun airport is a very relaxed airport (besides the ridiculously long line to get in and out). I always bring in 3-4 bottles of goose no problem. Worst case, ask the girls you picked up at the airport to bring a couple bottles in for you.
Last year we brought over 10 bottles between two people with no issues Yes u can get cubans down there but buy from places that guarantee them to be authentic like walmart. Don't buy them from that guy on the beach.
Been reading a fair amount, but have been pretty busy trying to finish a project...damn work! A few things...Three Olives Bubble Gum + sprite is tasty (although not something I would necessarily order in a bar). Had a holiday party in December - we went through a shitload of beer, a dozen bottles of wine, multiple egg nogs with the requisite Cabin Fever and other goodies...but went through an entire handle of the bubble gum. People loved it, to say the least... Hartford airport: pretty sure that there is no duty free shop. We are lucky enough that they now have the Black Bear Saloon (and not just McD's and the "Last Resort")... Cuban cigars: there is a Cuban Restaurant (La Bodeguita del Medio) across the street from McDonald's in the club area. I recommend the appetizers and mojitos there. Attached is a place for Cuban cigars. Not cheap, but fresh and assuredly the real thing. Do not buy them from the beach vendors, at the markets, etc...as Nuno says.
Smirnoff vodka in cancun is way cheaper then in the states! I believe last time I was in cancun, it was about 9$ a bottle, here in PA, it was about 15$.. not a big diff. but still!! I guess ill have to try the bubble gum.. it sounds nasty though!
It's been a few years but I remember the first time I went to Cancun not knowing about anything. We went to the liquor store to try to buy a bottle of Smirnoff and saw the price tag which was the equivalent of at least an Absolute (maybe even close to a Goose) in the States. We were like WTF and proceeded to buy a handle of Barcardi instead.
