I'm going to Mexico in October for the first time with a few couples. 3 of us smoke cigars regularly, but don't have experience with CCs. We are staying at the Secrets Maroma and they have a humidor that a buddy who has been there and says they have them. I know I'll be paying a premium, but we just wanted to smoke a few. Will they be legit on a nice resort like that?

In my experience, they will not be legit.

Where are you staying in Mexico? Cancun and several other locations have an LCdH, which is the only place in Mexico I would recommend buying Cubans.
We are staying in Playa Maroma about 30 minutes south of Cancun I think.

I had a buddy stay at Grand Oasis in Cancun. Big resort, had their own humidor. He sent me a few pics when they were there and they were all fakes. Had LE Cohibas in years they weren't made, guy working in the shop had "rare boxes from the distributor" he tried hard to sell him. If they're not coming from an LCDH down there, I wouldn't risk it

Your going to be between two LCDH locations. The one in Playa Del Carmen is tiny but its legit and the one in the hotel zone in Cancun is awesome. Both are the only guaranteed legit CCs.

I found one pic of their (Secrets) humidor but as others have stated, the only guaranteed CC are at LCDH.

Ill be in Cancun in three weeks for the wifes 40th. When are you going?

On another note, a Google search of "Closest Donkey Show to Secrets Maroma" returned no hits
Went to one of these shows about 30 years ago and unless you're drunk when you see it...you're never going to watch a live birth again or ride a donkey down the Grand Canyon.

We have decided to take a cab into Cancun to the LCDH one morning to make sure we get the real thing. Any idea what time they open? @Zimlin
