Can't help you with locations, but can offer this... REAL cubans are very expensive. If someone has a case of "cubans" for $5-$10 a piece, they aren't real cubans.

Don't know about the duty-free shop (I stay away form them because they are always a scam on prices) But I remember a cigar shop on the main road for 7-mile beach, over by the cruise ship pier that sold them. This was last year, so no guarantees post huricane.

Do your homework if you intend to "import" any back to the States. It isn't hard to do but it is illegal. I have been asked if I were in possession of such cigars before. Once in Miami and once in Houston.
PS, you have the same name as my brother. He spells it Scooby Doo.

I always go to Cigar Emporium ; Gomezplein in Punda [5999] 4653955.
Depending on your choice, you can get your 'real' Cuban cigars from $12 - $45 each.
Take out of any packaging. Slide the label off of each cigar and stash the label someplace in your carry-on bag. Bring some plastic bags and seal one cigar in each bag. They stink anyway and you don't want your entire bag smelling. Distribute, be creative.
I bring them back for my brothers. Never had any problems.
Customs are more worried about re-sale of bulk amounts, not just a dozen for personal use.
