Best place for duty free cigars?

[Stone14]

I think I've figured the top two out, Gibraltar and Geneva. But which is best? I have read gib is cheaper but limited choice Vs Geneva abit more ££ but a lot more choice, is this generally correct?

Is there a better place if doing a cigar same day return run?

Im going gib in February.

I was there this feb as well. They limited me to one box of cubans. I got some h upmann half coronas for 177£. Not going to find them much cheaper than that. I also then stocked up with 75 non Cubans as my partner came with. They are limited to oliva and fuente and a couple others, but the prices are great. I got 24 oliva v churchills for £180. And some af flor fina for about £160 i think.

Basically i saved about 2 grand on current uk prices

Im sure geneva has more choice but Gib is not a bad spot
Cheap flight and some decent food and drink about at good prices. Plus you can get molested by a monkey for free.

Nope. I am tempted to up my visits to twice a year though!

Ok great idea how do you find the cheapest flights? Is there a set time or booking ahead time period? The cheapest I e seen is about £180 return but I'm Newcastle.

Midweek flights are cheapest. Im in london and you can get as low as £50 return. Not sure about Newcastle sorry. Its either BA or easyJet

I've often been tempted to do Hamburg to visit Hacico, you can check out their prices online, they no longer ship to the UK.

Some of these places have got to be worth a 'forum awayday'.
