worth buying cigars in Turkey duty free?

[Ethem]

Evening ladies and gents,

I'm off to Izmir, Turkey next sunday and was wondering if anyones been and had any experience buying cigars? Are the prices/selection worth it? I've only got 2 HDM Epicure No.2's and a Open Eagle in the humi so will need to stock up as I like a cigar each evening when im on holiday.

Cheers!

I've stayed in Kusadasi which isn't far from Izmir. Humi's in Turkish Tabaks are generally small counter sized but well looked after, unfortunately Kusadasi had nothing in the way of Cubans. Izmir is a much bigger place and possibly will. The walk-in at Izmir Adnan Airport is excellent, it auto humidified and was spot-on when I was there. The stock is general with all the main Cuban brands represented along with some higher end NC. However you'll also find that the lower end of Cubans take up a lot of shelves .... Guan, JLP etc.
