LCDH

This may sound implausible but I was once offered Cohiba Siglo V and Hoyo Double Coronas by a Cuban/Spaniard whose sales pitch was that they were factory workers' concessions, obtained through the back door. Prices were about a quarter of UK retail. As he wanted cash up front I declined but often wondered if I had missed a bargain. Any thoughts ?

Oh yes, very simple; they will be fakes.

I would think it's very unlikely in this country or in the EU. As previously said LCDH is controlled by Habanos, so while they may do some offers the discount sounds very heavy and discounting Cohiba Siglo V sounds VERY unlikely.

Guys does it sound normal that an LCDH would sell cigars with 40% off as they have too much stock? Sounds too good to be true!!

Habanos have a share in most if not all of the LCdH franchise, so anything like that would be done with their sanction.

Without naming it specifically, which Country is the LCdH in?

Examples:
5 x siglo v - ?45
3 x esplendidos - ?40

Any ideas?
