Gibraltar

[Adamsmokes]

My daughter is in Gibraltar next week and can pick me up a box or two. I was hoping someone here could advise the best place to send her for Cubans? Just standard production, nothing fancy. Also I’d like to see which of the below people think are safe bets for buying blind at the moment:

Boli PC
RASS
Monte 4
Upman 46
D4
BBF

Thanks in advance

Stagnettos La Casa del Habano, 37 Main Street, Gibraltar. Albert Stagnetto is the distributor for Gibraltar so you won't find better selection, storage or prices than that shop.
It's about 100 yards down Main Street from Casemates Square (The main Square, all buses from the border stop at the square).
Only 50 cigars allowed out into Spain and they can be quite strict about this, on the Spanish side.
From your list, I have bought boxes of RASS 50 cabs from 2015 - 2018 there in the last few years and they have been very good.
I haven't bought anything else from your list there. I have bought plenty of boxes of LCDH editions there, they are particularly well priced on those.

H. Upmann Royal Robustos
Ramon Allones Superiores
Hoyo Elegantes
Hoyo Escogidos.

The Por Larrañaga Picadores are very well priced there and good cigars. The H. Upmann Royal Robusto and Por Larrañaga Picadores are two of Albert Stagnetto's favourite cigars. They have good stock of them. Having said all that, I have been shopping there in person since 2003, bought 50-80 boxes there and I have never seen mould on any cigars from them, and very rarely any issues.
They are not EMS, so many boxes in the shop will still be sealed from Cuba.

Ryan that was just what I was after, many thanks for the info

If you’re allowed only 50 cigars would you not go for the largest of the vitolas you like and the most expensive to get in the UK?
I used to think 50 cigars were a lot but now that’s like a months supply

This is a fair point. I’m coming at it from a slightly different angle in that I only smoke maybe 1 cigar of that type a month so I want to stock up on my staples at a good price. Also my daughter will no doubt relay the price of these boxes to my wife, which is obviously a recipe for disaster if I’m not careful!

I wouldn’t worry too much about what you planned to buy, as soon as you’re in a shop something completely different will catch your eye and the whole plan will go I’m sure!

Had some 2014 D4 from Stagnetto in 2019. The two guys there were astounded I found them. Everything else (standard production) was really young.
