I don't smoke cigars--or anything else!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />--but I hear that most places in the Caribbean, unless they specialize in cigars--do not store them properly, i.e., too much heat and humidity. I also hear that cubans are over rated these days. It guess it depends on how much of a real aficiando you are, whether it would be worth it to go to a real cigar store in STT. I would be prepared to pay duty and be happy if it is not charged. For liquor, not sure I would bother to lug it, unless there was something for sure you knew you couldn't get in the BVI, and I don't know what that would be.
