Amsterdam

[grumpybaldy]

Where is worth dropping into in Amsterdam for some CCs? (I've checked the forum but much of the advice is older now, so any more recent thoughts appreciated).
Thanks

P.G.C. Hajenius is definitely worth a visit.

I visited P.G.C Hajenius in Feb - fantastic selection of cigars (extensive cubans), all with great quality control. I also spoke to Hans several weeks before to ask for him to put aside several cabs that i knew i wanted, which he gladly did. The cigar lounge is also worth a visit if you have the chance!

[grumpybaldy]

Thanks both - will definitely pop in there. Presumably good value vs UK?

[thedame007]

Yup - compared to the UK it is very good value (though of course still not as good as spain), defo worth socking up!

Hope you have a fantastic trip

Thanks!

i'm sure someone on here put up a nice little diary of there trip to Amsterdam in the past year.

Many thanks to those who made cigar suggestions for my trip to Amsterdam (a great city, never been there before), and in particular to those who recommended a visit to PGC Hajenius - well worth a look.

And this was the result: RASCC and PL Picadores are favourites already; plus a first ERDM Choix Supreme and some Macanudos that the very helpful assistant said are favourites in Holland and which I'm looking forward to trying.

Excellent! What's the Phoenix about?

[grumpybaldy]

It's a Dupont lighter - a mere 4,740 euros! (Not pocket size then!)

[thedame007]

That looks like a wonderful haul, and really pleased you've also had a good experience there - i do not hesitate to recommend them to others, and its always a relief when my recommendation is not misplaced!

Enjoy those delicious smokes!
