LOL at those prices.

Looks like I'm going to start buying NC from now on.

So what’s your favourite NC?

This is probably the best thread in which to post this. I think it was Stevieboy who once commented that there are three good tabacs in Torremolinos. This morning I walked a mile in 28° heat to one of them, a good sized tabac with a walk in humidor the same size as JJ Fox. It was completely empty, he hasn’t had any stock for six months. He has clients wanting orders worth €40-50000 and can’t get anything at all. He explained that Spain has sold his 50% share in Cubatabaco to the Chinese. He said you might be lucky to find some shops in the bigger cities selling from open boxes but he only sold whole boxes. Bang goes my plan to buy three or four boxes.

I wonder what the Spanish cigar smokers are doing then. Crazy situation.

In general the drop off of smoking across Europe over the last 2-3 years is noticeable, not far off how it is in the U.K. now

Went for another hot walk today and found a fifth tabac that still had some stock, prices are still about half that of ours for now.

Here is an update for Malaga airport. The Duty Free had the most boxes of cigars I saw in Spain. They had RyJ nos 1-3 and tins of Club Kings, Hoyo short robustos, Epi #2 and de Deputes, Partagas Shorts and tins of Capitols and a wide choice of boxes of Vega Fina which I recommended recently.

When I started buying Havana cigars in Spain circa '96, they were a 1/3 of UK prices. Of course, even UK prices were more reasonable back in the day!

I was in Majorca 3/4 years ago and a box of Partagas Shorts were under 100€

On a side note I noticed that petrol was more expensive than here. And I only saw one electric car all week.

Madrid is bare. After a long walk this morning with my son, I only found about 30 cigars of any note. So far I've only found 9x Diplomaticos singles out of 50.000 boxes! I've looked in about 25-30 shops. Tragic
The shops are saying they've had zero stock for about 2 months. One of the guys in one of the big shops said he wasn't too down about it as he's selling huge amount of NCs instead
