EdinburghCigar Shop

[Ramon]

Theres a nice shop in Edinburgh in one of the side streets near the haymarket, a bit pricey for my liking but a good selection none the less. I only purchased a few singles and there was only one assistant who had an interest in cigars but by no means an expert. I think its in Rose St but cant be sure...

Also vaguely remember a shop in glasgow when I just started smoking, not the slightest bit judgemental, you could even haggle with the guy. But I think it burned down a few years back!

It's this one http://www.whisky-cigars.co.uk/

I can imagine all us UKCF members standing in the street and breathing deeply..."I'm getting hints of blackened glass with subtle notes of fireman's hose"

LMAO

Is it the same guy who owns both stores? Never met the owner but he seems like a right tool

Thats the one Ramon, they had a decent selection with a walk in humidor. I didn't realise they also sold a bunch of crap (from looking at their website).

Most impressive selection was in a shop in Zurich, but was let down by having everything stocked behind the counter and the butch lady, although very attentive, could not make a recommendation.

Hi folks - I was in Ed this weekend and went to a cigar shop down in the Leith area of the town. Nice wee shop with a decent walk-in humidor. They have some nice rarities including the Cohiba & Monte Millenium jars. The younger lad who works there doesn't know an awful lot about the smokes but he was very friendly and pleasant. The owner on the other hand was a right smug show-off who wouldn't let me get a word in whilst he boasted about all the rare stuff he owns!!! I asked about the Cohiba piramide jar and he said "I'm not selling them, they're going to auction"....errm, an auction is a sale....I thought it but didn't say it. All in all, a disappointing visit which left me a bit dumbfounded and pissed off with him. You live and learn...

Thanks for the heads up stevieboy.Visited two shops the last time I was in the city which were pricey but OK.
The young lad in the Rose street shop didn`t know a Cohiba from a club soda, but again that`s OK.

I will certainly not be doing business with this Ahole though, no siree.
