Barcelona trip

You always find ages stock in Spain as the Spanish like the Cubans prefer fresher younger cigars. When rummaging in Spanish walk-in humidors for aged boxes in the past Ive talked to the retailers and they don’t understand the British fascination with old stock.

Re the “stock 2008” comment. Spain got hit really had during 2008 with the financial crisis so guessing people weren’t spending on luxury items.

Mix that with (I assume) fewer tourists and that could be the reason that specific year is common-place now.

Have a great trip Gav, look fwd to getting an update from you.

Great thread - I’m heading here in August (COVID dependant) and will update accordingly.

For anyone looking for the Gothic Quarter shop head to Google Maps and type in ‘Estanc Mayne, Cava de Cigars’.

Excellent haul, guidelines are 200 at present from with the EU, so well in within that. One amazing fact that hit me in your report was:

'and some choix supreme ?06 the last I realised they were only charging me ?3.60 each for!'

I paid E4 ea for my 50 cab of '06 back in '06, from Gesto's!

Will take proper shots later but this was the collection;



The RyJs and Trinidad coloniales are full of other sticks that they put into those boxes
