Heathrow?

[cj121]

My sister in law is travelling out of Heathrow in a couple of weeks. Has anyone any experience of purchasing in the duty free there? I believe the retailer is 'The Cigar House' from memory.

You can bet your life there still going to be pricey even without the duty. Where is she going? Any where at the destination she could pick them up?

Which terminal. there was some good stuff in the new T3 shop when I went to Singapore.

Hi BBHD,
But remember SpaceMonkey got some nice H&F Vintage selection Cigars at T5
I think you got some, cant remember
But they were good and a very good price

I've been through many times and every time the humidity has been 40/45% - humidifier dry! price's maybe 5% less than full UK retail. If you have to get something... you could try something in a tube, I think it's stocked, or at least some are by JJ fox, actually next time one of you BOTL visit the shop, best let them know that the girl looking after the cigars in the airport, did not know that you have to put distilled water (or any water) in the humidifier, I also asked her what the number should read on that little gauge - she said 'I've no idea and it makes no difference anyway as they are in boxes'

T3 has a good shop, but it's far from cheap. I'll have a check for bargains as I'm flying form there tomorrow and let you know. I wouldn't hold my breath. T5 has a pretty looking concession in the main shop, but its never cheap (even when its an extra 50% off Monte 2s etc)

Its not really worth buying Duty free here at all.

Very cryptic Drew, do you mean Tesco!

[Drewmidorn]

hmmm!

[nicwing]

Super, thank you Andrew.

[cj121]

Sounds like a relative dead end then chaps. I was hoping someone would say price, selection and quality were worth checking out.

Re destination Mark, I've started another thread re the Big Apple

If I recall, the Dubai airport had a nice shop and setup.

A little way out of Heathrow admittedly

But yes RR. I had some JL PCs ('03) out of there a few months back. Good prices and lots of aged stock too. My father was passing through and had a list of possible cigars to pick from. He didn't choose any off my list, but I wasn't complaining as he paid for half the box as a birthday pressie

I used T1 when traveled back to Greece and found it a bit... empty and pricey...

[cj121]

Not a good combination then saggel. Thanks for the heads up
