Hi everyone I’m Mike

Coming from Arizona and will be there from 10/26-11/2. Splitting time between Sportsmans and Hotel Castillo. Enjoy a nice Scotch, good cigar, and of course a beautiful woman. Hoping to go zip lining and deep sea fishing among other things while I’m there.

As it’s my first trip I’m always looking for some suggestions

As far as Scotch goes, if you a single malt or even premium blend guy, bring your own or pick up some at the duty free. You *can* find it here, but the brand choice is limited (Walker, J&B, Old Parr [a decent blend not sold in US]). The airport duty free stocks Highland Park, Macallan, the Glenlivet, Arberg, etc. I mule in my own Laphroiag. For cigars in the new-gulch, Havana Humidor can't be beat. Outside that area, there is a Casa del Habano west of town in Pavas, but the prices are no better and the atmosphere distinctly stuck up. To my knowledge, no other venues allow smoking on site. A few places might turn a blind eye / stuffy nose to it in some rooms with a balcony, I couldn't possible comment.
