Hey guys,
I'm leaving for Varadero, Cuba on January 10th I'm just a little bit lost when it comes to currency there. I've been looking up alot on the net and have found many outdated articles , but not sure if laws have been changed recently.
For one i'm curious what currency is accepted at the government type stores...for my case when I go buy cigars and rhum...
Also I heard a tip goes a long way. I'm relatively generous , and like to show my appreciation when service is great. So what currency do you tip in a all-inclusive resort? Say theres a particular bartender I feel deserves a dollar or two. Do you tip with Cnd money , the convertible pesos , or american? which one do they most appeciate?
And finally what are average prices for Cigar boxes in Cuba...not street vendors , but actual cigar stores... I'm looking more or less for monte cristo's and romeo julietta's , so if you could give me a ball park figure for a box of those that would be great.
thanks in advance,
NIck
