Nice in Nice?

[whisky77]

Considering going to South of France this time when I am home.Can anybody supply details of any good cigar stockists around the Nice area?

Looking to source some of the French RE if possible.:smoke:

Hey Whisk, you might try this place but the French smoking law has changed like ours so this may be out of date.

When are you going?

I have a contact who goes out to Nice regularly and as I head out there periodically it is a subject I would like to pursue and help you with.

I am planning to go down there in around three weeks time Nic, hire a car, and just tour around the area.

I like the sound of that cigar bar, I can see myself in there.Thanks for the feedback.I will let you know if/when I am heading down.

A guy I know via Facebook just posted some stuff on the French Re's. I have asked him if he know's anywhere down south and will get back to you when he responds.

I know the area pretty well so I will also put together a couple of suggestions if you are touring around.

There is a half decent, and quite classy, shop in Cannes on one of the main drags that runs east to west. I think its the next road parallel to the front. I always pop into that one. There is also a slightly rougher shop on the front opposite the Palais de festival that i usually walk past..... not really sure how much help that is.

I use that 'parallel road' cigar store too, Drew.

Craig - If you don't know Nice, Cannes, St Tropez... go there! You will love it!

Drew, Bryan, thanks for the great feedback lads.:smoke:

I can see my credit card will be taking another kicking once I find those French RE.:p

Hi Whisky

Here you are from one of my Facebook contacts

Cannes: The Best is Civette Carlton, in rue d'Antibes (93, rue d'Antibes), the parallel street of Croisette, really a cool street full of shops. They have a small walk-in with cab. 50.

Between the Marché and the Croisette (Old Port) there is the Tabacs "Le 116" (63, rue Felix Faure), I prefer the Carlton, but Le 116 have cigars too. :-)

Antibes: NOTHING SPECIAL :-( There was a time the Civette de la Republique, with walk-in, but now a new proprietary sells only accessories and cigarettes :-(

Nice:
Sur la Promenade des Anglais, near the Palais de la Mediterranee, there is a Civette. Les Pergolas. Now they have change proprietary, but they still have a Walk-in.
Always in Nice there is Le Reinitas - 49, rue Pastorelli, between Nice Etoile and Galerie Lafayettes.

Flamme et Fumee, near place Massena, the Place wit fountains, is a terrible place to buy cigars. Don't go there.
