Cigars in Brazil.


Recommended Posts

I have a friend going to Brazil (not sure what region yet). Does anybody know of any good Brazillian cigars or more importantly if you can buy good quality Cubans at a good price at a reputable place?

Dona Flor is a pretty good Brazilian cigar. As far as Habano shops, might check the search engines? :thinking:

Dav, what city is your friend going to visit? Both Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have some decent tobacco shops including a couple of LCDH. However I wouldn't recommend buying cigars here. Prices are extremely high and selection overall is just decent.

In SP and Rio there is a place called Esch Cafe which is a restaurant / cigar shop that you can have a smoke after lunch or dinner. They have a decent selection at ok prices (for Brazilian standards), food is good (not great) but it has a nice atmosphere and drinks. Esch Cafe is also has a LCDH store inside.

As far as Brazilian cigars go, I can't be of help. Have smoked a few and none of them were worth wasting my time compared to Cubans.

Let me know if I can help!

Thanks for the advice gersonmorelli . I will find out and let you know. Does not sound like it's worth my friends time.
