Europe

[Son of Cigarsmoke]

Hi guys, me and a couple of mates are going traveling around europe for a month, we are starting off in paris then i think the plan is brussles-amsterdam-berlin-prague and then werever we fancy after that, does anyone know any good cigar related places in europe? also i was wondering if duty free is decent in charles de gaul airport paris?
Its gonna be one heck of a trip :cowboyic9:

There was a nice walking humidor with very decent selection at Ch-de-Gaulle, Terminal 2F; I guess it's still there…

In Brussels you MUST pay a visit to Le Roi du Cigare (http://www.leroiducigare.be/), one of the best shop on the continent… large walking humidor, excellent selection, great service, etc.

Have a great trip!

Take lots of money... No duty frees any more going to Europe but there a lot cheaper there than in the UK.. enjoy your trip and keep an itinerary of cigar shops :biggrin1:

Sounds excellent! I wasn't into cigars when I did my France/Belgium/Luxemburg/Switzerland/Italy/Monaco trip so can offer no advice, but I'm sure you'll have a great time!

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.
Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

There are a lot of cigar shops here in central Prague. There are 3 right in the centre just off of Wenceslas Square. (Churchills right at the bottom just next to New Yorker ... good selection but marked up /// Sherlocks is about half way up, turn right on to vodickova after CSOB bank and you cant miss it, good selection, good prices /// Praha Cigars inside the Radisson SAS hotel) and then you have got Casa Del Habano on Dlouho Street, La Bodeguita de medio opposite staromestska metro & another store opposite that....

I think thats enough :D

Casa Del Habano is good for a smoke and a drink... drop me a message if you want any other info on anything in particular here.... can send you some non-cigar-related info :)

[Son of Cigarsmoke]

Thats great, thanks for the info, ill probably drop you a message when we are planning on moving on to prague because we don't have a set plan yet. I assume there are youth hostels/cheap hotels around too?

[Pipe Dude]

If you stay within the EU, you can bring back as many as you like.

yeah man.... best hostels will be either www.travellers.cz (the one on dlouha) or www.chili.dj (cheaper if u book online)

but yeah... just ask when you know what youre up to :)

found a shop in berlin that was ok, had a photo of whatshisname on the wall, guy who has london shop, Zino Davidoff is it? I asked they guy behind the counter about it but he didnt speak much enlish so i got nothing on that. In prague at the mo, just come back from chirchills, they sell some interesting things and im not talking about the cigars lol. Further down towards the bridge i saw a cigar club, i might give it a go tommorow, have you been there before Emdee?

For CHEAP cigars you need to get down to Andorra. I went to The Cigarshop in Pas De La Casa a couple of weeks ago, large well stocked walk in humidor. I got 3 Cohiba Robustos for just over £30 in there! Every shop in the town sells tobacco of some sort, 200 Marlborough for 18 Euros! I got 25 Jose L Piedra Cazadores for 24.60 Euros (£125 in the UK) from a supermarket! I did not have much money left as I was coming to the end of my 1 month stay in France so could not go mad.
Be aware that although Andorra uses the Euro they are not part of the European Union and there are limits to how much booze and baccy you can bring back.

Alcohol*

1.5 lit of spirits over 22% a.b.v.
or
3 lit of spirits under 22% a.b.v.
and
5 lit table wine

Tobacco*

300 cigarettes
or
150 cigars (under 3g each)
or
75 cigars (over 3g each)
or
400g of pipe tobacco


My advice head south!!!!

ill bear that inmind if i ever do it again, thanks!
