Hoyo EL 2007 Regalos.

Well that is true about the odd fake box doing the rounds in Spain, but then again the same could be true about any country, plus I'd be surprised if this shop had any fake boxes, it was called Gimeno right on La Ramblas, it has one of the best walk in humidors I've ever been in underneath the shop which you have to be invited down to, packed floor to ceiling with every cuban.

I opted for a box of 10 Spain RE Vegas Robaina (as in my avatar), wish I'd bought a box of each now or at least knew of someone heading off to Barcelona , ah well will just have to treat myself to some good non cubans when away on my hols later this year.

Twice that.

Whiskey, do you mind me asking how much the box cost you?

I've only smoke one of these babies, a single I bought from a cigar shop here in Belfast and loved it, I'm beginning to prefer a 44/46 ring guage rather than the usual robusto size of 50.

Anyway the reason I ask about the price is because when I was in Barcelona in March a cigar shop was doing a box of these or the R&J 2007 RE for 100 Euro each, a good price I thought and probably a little cheaper than here, unfortunately I'm an idiot and didn't pull the trigger on a box then, think I will shortly tho!

Gary, I paid more than twice that for them if I remember rightly.I also have the R&J Escudos and they were more expensive than the Regalos again, so it sounds like an unbelievable deal you passed up on mate.

I have never seen them anywhere even near that price Gary to be honest, and if I did then I would be looking at purchasing a couple of boxes for myself.

I will be purchasing another box of Regalos for the humi next week and will be looking at $280 to $320 for the box.

Ah! Gimenos, (he says, leaning back in his chair and going all starry eyed) I was there in June on a stag weekend, I also bought a 10 box of the RE Vegas Maestros, I also bought the RE Ramon Allones and a bundle of Piedras - to cheap to pass up on.

I didn't see the LE's though, but I was like a kid in a candy store, couldn't take it all in quick enough and didn't know what to look at/pick up next!!!

Like you I am kicking myself that I didn't pick up more, and I think your right I can't see a place like that selling fakes...
