Lanzarote

Off for a long weekend was hoping to avail myself of some cheap cigars, are they the same price as mainland spain does anyone know ?

[PeeJay]

As fas as I know yes. They were in Tenerife.

Yep - should be. You should be able to get some good deals, although bear in mind that you have the "outside EU" limits, so 50 cigars max!

Just about to ask the same question,my sister is off for a week away in February,has anyone every been to playa blanca and recommend any shops?

I lived in Playa Blanca for a little while. If you're up by Las Coloradas, there's a Ropa supermarket there which has a nice little jumi with a good stock of cubans. Only individuals and 3/5 packs usually, although once I saw 25 ct boxes of HUHCs

Most of the supermarkets have a small, but good stock. I never really found a decent Tabac there though - you'd have to head to Arrecife for that

I went to Lanzarote in October, stayed in Playa del Carmen. Saw many little shops and supermarkets with fairly decent selections of local and Cuban cigars but couldn't vouch for the storage conditions - saw one humidor sitting in plain sun!

I went to a decent tobacconist in Arrecife but left empty handed as they wouldn't permit me to inspect any boxes, despite some clear water damage on the box.

A real shame as they had a lot of pre-2010 boxes.

Well just to update anyone who is interested. The cigar shopping is not great. There were lots of 'dry' cigars which looked local. The one or two shops that were selling CC were not storing them in a humidor so gave them a bit of a wide berth. Was resigned to not buying anything until I was strolling through the duty free at the airport. Whilst not the greatest selection, I did bag a cabinet of 25 HDM Oct 2016 Petit Robustos for nearly half what they would have cost in the UK.

Further update currently in lanzarote staying in matagorda of the few place close by a couple have small humidors with limited stock mainly RYJ, montecristo and partagas in tubos, for price comparison 5 RYJ n02 are around 25 euro. Now further a field on Google search you can find a shop called cigar world in Puerto del Carmen. Trust me cigar world it ain't. If I find anywhere else I'll update further.
