Dubai airport information ort... Any knowledge out their on cigar selection?

Never had the pleasure myself but do a quick search on the forum as I think it's been discussed a few times. If I remember right Dubai is reported as having an impressive walk in Humi...

Went through there about 8 months ago on the way to Afghan. Huge walk in humi. IIRC you have to ring a bell to get someone to let you in though. Didn't buy anything as 3 moinths in the sandpit wouldn't be anygood for the cigars. On the way back I rushed through as I was late from the hotel.
Hotel I stayed at also had a huge walkin as well. But as I was only staying in the hotel for 8 hrs I didn't get time to spend any money. Regretting it now though.

Went to Dubai last year and they have several large walk in humidors which are impressive and have the largest selection I've seen at any airport including a great drinks selection outside the humidor although prices aren't fantastic still cheaper than UK. You can also find a good selection of LE's and RE's.

I sense a box of ten and couple of three packs, don't have enough cash or room for any more ;-)

Go through Dubai about four times a year and make all my purchases for the year from the humidors there. IMHO, after Gibraltar, prices in Dubai at the airport are the cheapest in the world. Avoid buying them at the hotels in Dubai though - the mark-up is eye watering (as is the cost of drinks!)

A very good selection of sticks too - fill your boots!

I got a 120 count humi but only space for 10 to 15 cigars

If you click where it says "click here for product listings" it downloads a PDF, which gives the prices of the most sold items, including cigars.

I was there again yesterday.... There's a good selection and good prices. I'm afraid I made a mostly "dull" buy. A box of party P2s, a box of monte PEs, a box of Boli royal coronas and a box of 10 of the Boli Emirates RE. I'm not sure exactly what the cost in Stirling was but it'll be somewhere around ?650 for the lot I think.

If you don't mind me asking, what were the box dates?

All disappointingly fresh. Monte PEs and the Boli REs are Oct 11 and the P2s, Boli RCs are May 12. Surprised the Montes weren't fresher to be honest. All of the dates in the larger Humidor were much the same.

Thanks, mate! As a general rule, I like to see at least one year on the boxes I buy, and the PEs and REs should be smoke-able at this point, with the PCs and RCs soon to follow.
Indeed! Not bad for an airport shop...not too bad at all.

I've just looked at my Credit card bill for the above (25xP2s, 25xBoli Rcs, 25xMonte PEs and 10XBoli Emirates)

pleasantly surprised

?567.19... the lot!

I'm not jealous of those Bolis at all...nope, couldn't care less
