I must have gotten the wrong impression when he said the following:

With a 50 Cigar limit to get through customs I could only choose 2 different types so I settled on Partigas Serie P No. 2 and H. Uppman 46.
That just sounded to me like he was thinking of bringing them back to the US.

My only real experience in a duty free shop was coming back from Mexico last year. The one in the airport in Cancun, well, you can't get into it when you're arriving........only when you're leaving (at least, I didn't notice a way in from the arrival area).

I guess the duty free at the Dubai airport must be available for arrivals too............good deal! Too bad it isn't available after you pass through customs..........LOL
