Where to go for a short break ?

[PoohBore]

I'm looking to do a short break in Europe. Where's the cheapest place to buy my duty free allowance ?

[Cigar-aficionado]

Gibraltar takes some beating, great weather, fantastic cigars all at duty free prices and still only 2.5 hours flight away

[snooky]

C.A. is right none better than Gib , though not a tourist hot spot. I fancy Barcelona .

I want to take the wife to be somewhere but I want to make sure that the cigar collection can be fed to the maximum allowance without costing a fortune. She fancies Barcelona but how do they compare to say buying in Cuba?

Using the PSD4 as a benchmark of circa ?110 for 25 where do I go to get closest to that ?

[Heggers]

25 x PSD4 were 256.25 Euro when I was in Barcelona a few weeks ago (in Gimeno)

[Cigar-aficionado]

?145 at Staggies and another 10% if you are lucky at the shop

[PoohBore]

Depends on how much you're going to spend on your holiday, Geneva is a great place to spend a few days. Plenty of places to visit (Red cross, UN, museums) and the cigars are very cheap with plenty of cigar lounges. The only down side is that the city itself is very expensive, the price of food was insane the last time I went.

If you do go for a few days you could do what I do and go on a Kebab diet, only about 9 francs or less for a filling meal!

Andorra has good food and cheap cigars a bit touristy but for a long weekend a good shout

[Ethem]

so looks like theres no real way of doing this without cleaning out the bank account? haha

Agreed! I work in Geneva and feel very lucky to have access to such cheap cigars! Where are these cigar lounges though?
