There is a small cigar store by Salt & Pepper (accross the road and north from the RIO) Probably only open in evenings. Very short walk.

Neighbor boy is at our house now (in Aruba). He says his grandmother sells cigars and is setting up a store in the new mall South Beach, accross the road from Holiday Inn. Not open until end of October. If you find one you like best, she can sell full box now, but cannot sell less until her store opens.

The place we love the best is located just around the corner (right out of RUI then left at the curved intersection going towards the Old Dutch Mill) you'll find a series of small shops on the left hand side. One of these buildings, at the very end and in the front, is Aruhiba cigars. Totally fabulous and great selection. We go every year. He has a webpage, although I cannot open it right now. I did just the other day an printed off a coupon for a free cigar!

Downtown there are 2 places to buy cigars. Dominican, Honduran and mostly Cuban. There is a store in the mall and a small place in Renaissance market place. The Aruban cigars are good but last year when I was there they were the same price as the cuban cigars. If I am going to spend 10-15 bucks a cigar I prefer the Cuban. Preferably the Monte Cristo #2's.
