Top 25 cigars from Cigar Aficionado

[PeeJay]

Being at work and between calls I've just read through the list and do you know what stood out for me? The very reasonable prices that they pay for their cigars, makes you want to weep.

The prices CA has listed for the Cubans is in GBP. Are the prices listed spot on as far as local shops in the UK go? Is there a huge price discrepancy from the major online stores and the local B&M's?

is that for a B&M? because if so, that's a damn good price!!
most of the ones down here sell the BHK54 at around $110 and monte 2 for near $32!

Now I know what a B&M is, then yes, same price in shop and online.

I would have said that I've generally found shops to sell for about 10-15% more than their own online price. Certainly the case with JJF, Sautter's, and the Turmeus in Chester - though in all cases you can get a coffee to go with it if smoking in. (Was even offered a beer in Sautter's on one occasion!) Those are for singles though - whether the boxes are more evenly priced between the two sales I'm not sure.

Mysmokingshop is generally cheaper in the shop if there is any price difference at all.

Nice to know there some then. Out of interest, do they allow sampling in their shop?

[ValeTudoGuy]

I would have to guess no, I have never seen anybody smoke in there and have never thought to ask. There is a small table and chairs at the entrance, but there is most certainly no seating area inside unfortunately.
I think the north is sorely lacking in those terms.
