The new Portuguese RE has just been released so keep an eye or for it. It's a perfecto size; a Britannica.
I've got a couple of boxes but I've not smoked one yet
Happy hunting
New update.. scratch Lisbon, it's now Porto and surrounding area.

In Porto you're pretty much limited to the one Casa Havaneza, as well as Garrafeira Tio Pepe, which mostly sells liquor.
As Dunc said, don't hold your breath for any rare stuff, as you'll most likely not find any and, if you do, prices will probably be too high to be worth it.
That being said, do enjoy some of the best food and drinks that Portugal has to offer!

Many thanks, my first relax trip.to the area. I was there a few years ago on an enduro trip but it's was parrrrrrrrrppppp. Parrrppppp, paaarrrrrrppp etc so blasted through in minutes. This time nice and easy.
I wouldn't mind getting a box of the Bolivar RE but will call the shop and see what they can do .
Frrb contact me by PM, I know someone who has many vintage cigars in Porto & is a wonderful host, runs a cigar club & I'll be visiting him & his wife in 3 wks time!

In meantime I have a frequent traveller to put his head in the shop and try get a box of REs for me.

Hi, Two things I did learn is that prices are cheaper over the border in Spain & regionals seen hard to find in Portugal (many already sold) but that's the fun of hunting them down!

[MENTION=13463147]frrb[/MENTION] [MENTION=941]Simon Bolivar[/MENTION] I'm off to Porto in a month or so.... any hints and tips for cigar sources? I am likely to simply want to buy some 3 pack tubos to enjoy while there...

In my opinion, you'll be able to find a lot more options at the Casa Havaneza in the Boavista area, or at the new LCDH, in the downtown area. The Cigar World at El Corte Ingles has always had limited Cuban stock - they tend to offer more NCs.

Thank you- will try to subtly happen upon them all without my family spotting the subtle route we take around the city!
