Spanish Cigar Prices

[brugen]

Spanish Cigar prices are regulated with, historically, one price for shops and a slightly higher price for restaurants.

I've just pulled up the latest price list dated 15/7/17 and there seem to be four prices for some cigars.

http://www.minhafp.gob.es/en-GB/Areas%20Tematicas/CMTabacos/Paginas/PreciosLabores.aspx

An example is Partagas Shorts

FLOR DE T. PARTAGAS Shorts (25) 3.8 4.35
FLOR DE T. PARTAGAS Shorts (25) CM 3.25 3.75

There are two rows with the cheaper one marked CM which I assume to be Comisionado para el Mercado de Tabacos.

Can anyone tell me what CM means in this context and how I can ensure I pay CM prices.

Thanks

The CM stands for Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish enclaves in Morocco. Prices are about 15% less in those places than in Estancos on mainland Spain.
There is one decent cigar shop in Ceuta but it is awkward to get there, he has a hard time getting stock too. There is a ferry from Algeciras.
Filter the list in the link you provided. Under the "Zonas" drop-down, choose "Peninsula y Illes Balears" rather than "Todas" and the prices for Ceuta and Melilla will be filtered out.
