Bar Idem and HLH lineups
Now for the other 1/2 of your question--It may be pricey but the Cigar Lounge @ HLH is the guaranteed place...but before you buy and sort-of enjoy a Cuban cigar (doing it just because they're legally unavailable in the US?), ask Eddie for his advice. I do believe you'll find Nicaraguan, Dominican or even Costa Rican cigars are higher quality at less cost. For a cheap down-time thrill, check out the Vegas de Santiago cigar factory tour--it's in Puriscal and a 1/2 day trip on a bus but much worth it. CR is not about limits--it's about possibility expansions. When you go to the SL or Dunn Inn Happy Hours, mention it to the Brothers you meet--might get some company, and with just a few of you, consider taking a van trip. Maybe not quite as much a thrill as one of those Chicas who can suck a golf ball through a garden hose but worth considering...
