smokey1980 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 This past weekend I visited a "La Casa Del Habanos" in Shibuya Tokyo Japan. I was greeted by a very nice young man who escorted me into the humidor. The selection was small but very impressive. They had the Cohiba 1966's, BHK 52/56 and a few Cohibas from 1996 (possibly a bad year?) But, the catch was the price! They wanted 5,000 JPY Yen for just one BHK 52! I decided to grab a few Trinidad Reyes and a Cohiba Lancero, that I have always wanted to try! Kicked myself for not writing down box dates, but I was in a hurry.

Sutton Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 $88 dollars for a 1966 in Edmonton and I believe a grand reserve sig 6 was $100 I actually paid $ 80 somthing for a BHK 54 when they first where available in Canada and didn't know that you didn't have to be referred by someone to make a order at club czar .

rckymtn22 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 SO how do you get referred? I think he was saying that you do not need to be referred to buy from Club Czar. Some online places require being referred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebbe72 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Steep prices, yes. But don´t blame the Casa in Roppongi. All tobacco prices is regulated by the government i Japan. Retailers are not allowed to exceed or undercut prices. They are fixed. You will never find a cigar on sale in Japan, simply because it is not allowed.
