Europe REs and Cigar Lounges

[Kruz]

I leave for a Europe trip next weekend and was hoping to get some suggestions on regional editions to pick up and some great places to smoke while visiting places.

I will be in the following cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna and Rome.

So far I know I want to go to:

Amsterdam: Hajenius & LCDH

Berlin: Herzog am Hafen

Prague: Blue Skelp & Black Angel's Bar

Vienna: Hazar

The only regional I know I want is the Ideales in Vienna but need suggestions on what other RE's to pick up. I think these will make for the best kind of souvenirs . My tastes are Bolivar, PL, Upmann and R&J when they are decent.

Would love to hear of more unique lounges to visit as well (esp. Rome). Especially with great whiskey selections.

Thanks in advance!

Amsterdam. Benelux REs are plenty despite being outside of Belgium/ Luxembourg.

LCdH the Hague is somewhere to see if you can go.

Berlin: LCdH Berlin and Herzog, see if Christian is there. If he is, tell him Jeremy from Canada sent you and to get on Jeremy's preorder list.

They have boxes of RA Belvederes for ridiculously good price. Pick one up and mail it to yourself.

Then go across the bridge to the BurgerMeister for the best burger you'll ever have.

Prague has many small B&Ms with MANY hidden goodies. You need a good eye. Don't go just to the touristy ones

I heard there was a great place in Spain the guy that runs it names begins with a M but just cant seen to remember it right now but has a great deal on some 1966's.

I am sure it will come back to me later

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

Supporting information: perhaps that was sarcasm... but can't take any chances now.

BeNeLux=

Belgium

Netherlands (That's why Amsterdam has Benelux RE)

Luxembourg

There are a lot of forgettable REs, if you can get some Italy small robustos they are really special, balanced to perfection. Sweet toasty tobacco and tea.

To say the least

I did enjoy the ERdM Petit Robusto. Also, the Bolivar Poderoso will be worth the investment.

But the Punch Royals. Probably the best Punch RE behind the Serie D'Oro No. 1.

If you are in Berlin (Herzog) try the RE RG Petit Piramides.

Have you used the place I am referring too, surely someone who knows so much about all these different places and retailers is not that naive?

[CaptainQuintero]

Not regional but the HDM San Juan is in Germany now mostly, if not then the next few days or so. If you like the idea of those then you can most likely grab some

Amsterdam has the following regionals that are worth your while

Punch Royal Selection cab 50

Bolivar Fabulosos

RA Robusto Corto

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. This is great!

Bolivar Fabulosos

MiMi. I've been looking for those for a bit.

Mind a trade?

When in Prague check out Manesova Bar and Books in the Vinohrady neighborhood - great whisky/whiskey selection and cigar smoking is encouraged! You could also hit the Tynska Bar and Books just off the old town square.

I second the suggestion to get some RG Petit Piramides in Germany. If you like QdO, they also still have stock of the Panetelas.
