Cuban cigars

[TonyN]

Was looking at cuban cigar prices the other night
nearly fainted .
glad I slowly stocked up over the years
no way I could be able to afford them at today's prices example behike 52s £150 a pop
if you can still find them

Ha. Forget looking at top shelf.

a PSD4 is £27 with our sponsor - who is often the most expensive retailer for most lines in the UK
£22 at CASC Nation

So a box of these is £518-£615 here. £490 at Astoria.

Which is of course crazy.

Price from cgars:
March 2022, £615, +£129, +26.5%
March 2021, £486, +£31, +7%
March 2020, £455

I think this increase is proportional so over the last year as you can see the rate of inflation on cigars is a bit mental.

This is cgars & casc:

This is just cgars to see the increase over time:

I'd imagine that the UK prices would squeeze most ordinary folk from buying here now.

I've always said (in the time I've been smoking cigars, the last few years) the only time I'll pay UK prices for a cigar is if I'm going to smoke one in a lounge here on some sort of occasion.

I've often wondered how UK shops and websites keep going, given how easy it is to find much better prices a £30 flight away. Then I realise how poor I must be compared to others who buy cigars in this country 😂

I paid 45£ for a tasting the other evening for a lovely Connossieur B, a load of nice whisky, a refreshing cocktail. Hic. Was more than a bit tipsy by the end of it... Not bad for a night out.

But a box is £791 ..... Nope.

Would never buy a box or probably even a single again at uk prices.. if you need to stock up get a cheap Ryan air or easy jet flight to Germany / Spain / Switzerland
