I was there in Sept, supplies in th eLCDH were reasonable, no more. I bought 3 boxes & got ripped off on the Divinos.

That's better than I expected tbh. Not that you got ripped off but that supply was 'reasonable' btw what are the divinos you mention so that I avoid the same pitfall

I asked the prove of a box of 25 Divions she said e250, so I took them but at the till, she charged me E300! I argued, saying that wasn't th eprice she quoted to no avail. I really wanted them & hadn't seen any recently so I took them. Next stop on the cruise was Naples, There noted it was the Tradicionales that were E300 so did she make an honest error or rip me off? I have since bought at e10 & e8 so have bought me avge cost down.

Looking at the Fincanto price list they may have taken advantage of your desire to get them

Thanks for this info / sounds like you were on a similar cruise to which we’re on later this week. I will head to the LCDH for sure.

We have three days in Rome for sightseeing then off to Naples on the Saturday.

Did you find anywhere nice to smoke in a Rome please ? We are going to one place with a rooftop terrace that I know allows cigars.

I have a friend who has just bought a house in Spoleto (flies into Rome) and is struggling to find shops, let alone stock

We barely had 8hrs in Rome, as it was our first visit we literally went from one attraction to the next. Notice for smoking sadly. Roof top sounds fab, enjoy!

Rome is pretty good for smoking. Lots of street cafes and eateries etc. Fincato is the main cigar shop but it's often closed and it often has no stock and, I've been told they make the prices up on a whim! One day you can pay with a credit card and the next day you can't. It all depends on who you talk to. Fairly odd

It’s entirely built to service its regulars, so if you’re not one of them the service appears entirely random. Beautiful shop though

Crappiest LCDH I've ever seen. Sour faced employees and mainly pipes and paraphernalia. Been to Rome 5 times last couple of months - always just walk by Fincato without even noticing.

Where do you buy cigars in Rome from ?

I basically don't. I used to have a good little Tabaccheria but they've started selling the little they get under the counter at inflated prices. Too many Chinese tourists running around Rome. I've visited all app. 25 cigar places in the last months, most have nothing and those who have do the same trick. I'm done.
In stead I have established a few countryside places all over south of Rome within 2 hrs distance from my home. No tourists ever come here.

But have a look if you're in Rome - you might get lucky.
