Nice little store. There was another I spotted in Madrid but it was closed for lunch and I didn't go back.

The guy in the last photo asked me for royalties hehe

The second to last was my purchases - plus a Partagas travel humidor with 6 D4's.

Great Photographs Deano and I love the way they have the manufacturer logo infront of each cigar.

I want to go there, I can almost smell it!

[Pantomimehorse]

Dean my mates flat is three doors down from that shop, its a lovely place and very friendly, how did you end up there though its not exactly in the centre of things? some great bar near there mind

[cj121]

Brilliant stuff Deano, like some undercover agent, sneaking in the pics from all angles!

Royalties? cheeky chappy ought to be sending you some for the free plug:smoke:

I take it that was your last trip over there the other month and not a spur of the moment thing in the last few days?

The little leather tray is cute too.

Right then, who's up for burrowing up through the floor when they're closed?:p

[Deano]

Panto - it was in my guide book so I went there on purpose to see the shop.

CJ yeh from last month, just forgot to put pictures up. I was meant to get more of the prices in but didn't have time.

[Robusto]

Fantastic store.
I wish I lived three doors away!

[G-man]

[whisky77]

looks like a veritable playground for cigar lovers Deano.
Quality selecton; reckon you would be pushed to find anything as extensive in the UK.

Did I mention I'm off to Madrid in October.... :rolleyes:

[jkim05]

Dang I wanna go to Madrid. I've seen some pics of real gems found in Spanish Cigar shops.

Hi there I'm Luigi, an italian living in Colombia, South America. I was living in Madrid for almost 5 years 1999-2004... 3 blocks away from la Calle de Magallanes where this fantastic puros shop is located! Thank you for these pics that make me remember all the times I bought there my preferred Partadas D5 or HdM Epicure N2 or H.Up Magnum 46 cigars! Right now, I'm cutting a Partagas Mille Fleurs (it's 11 am here) using a Cava de Magallanes cutter that they gift to me before I leave Spain for Italy in 2004....

I remember there was a very nice woman as vendor, with beautiful hands and fantastic long red nails..... thank you again for the pics these puros shop is a dream!

PS. I apologize for my english.

[jdawg]

Very nice pics, Deano! Thanks for sharing them. I would love to walk into a shop selling nothing but habanos. Damn, I have to get to Spain.

[Stevieboy]

Just realised I was in this shop just the other week...magic place :hail:

[Habana-Habanos]

Awesome shop! If I was to go to Madrid I would definetely find this shop.

[cigarsmoke]

:biggrin1:Great photos Deano and what a fantastic selection!!!

Would love to go to Madrid

I,am with you CJ, when do we start digging?

[bopmachine]

Sorry if this type of thread isnt allowed - i've searched and there are other threads talking about buying in spain.

Had a fantastic year in my business and am expecting a nice dividend next month. I've set aside £1.5k for cigars and am considering booking a short weekend jaunt to barcelona to purchase cigars. Will the prices be worth the effort? I have seen the price lists and it looks to be about a 30% savings.

Your thoughts?

[Deano]

Don't know why you've begun this topic on Barca, on this existing topic about Madrid.

I would suggest Gibraltar if you want v. cheap cigars, but I suppose from Spain you can bring back more than 50.

Well, 'cos it's better than Liverpool Dean .... looks like I might have to wait a season or two for a good excuse now .... if we ever get Real in the Champions League!

Yea its because I was reading this thread, then wanted to post a new one, but got involved in work conversation…. so long story short was a mistake!
