Glen,

Not sure about the integrity of ISOM’s at any tourist spot but I can tell you that in old downtown Cancun near the bullfighting arena there is a small shop called Moctezuma where a woman has her rolling table and some really great local gars for sale. I really liked the Moctezuma brand, wish I were going.

In Cancun, you will run into a ton of people on the street trying to sell you fakes.............It gets to the point that you can't even enjoy the experience of shopping for the real article because of being accosted so many times by street vendors trying to unload fake Cubans................Or at least that was my experience...............My advice is....don't buy anything on the street! Ask for a reputable dealer...and remember.......if the deal appears too good to be true, it probably is.....

You can almost guarantee it will be a fake ...

... unless he gets it from an authorized 'La Casa del

Habano' ...

Do a 'Google' search, and it will give you the location, address and telephone number ...
