Knvb Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Managed to get a week off work and booked a week in the promised land and would love to discuss possible shopping list cigars... Im not ballin with an unlimited budget but after feeling like i should have splurged more shortly after my last well lets be honest every trip ive been to Cuba ive decided to splurge a little. Splurge being relative to my humble means... Ive come up with a preliminary shopping list and would love any input, price updates, year suggestions and just discussion in general... Off the cuff ive come up with this shopping list Upmann Royal Robustos Monte 520`s Possibly a box of Sir Winnie`s Hoyo epi 2`s Cheers CB in Victoria Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headstand Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm heading there in November. Curious about current pricing as well. Good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod918 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Sounds like fun ! The winnie's are on the 12:12 atm. The same ones already rated great by them, i personally would just get a box and remove all chance. Otherwise i would search the shops for Trinidad Robusto T's might get lucky... Gluck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 520s will be hard to find. RRs i heard they're starting to become rare - weird. Perhaps they'll be back soon. Epi 2s and Sir Winnies i'd just get from our host. No sense in paying more for the boxes in Cuba and using your quota that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Sorry... Was a tad too negative with my last post. Varadero has a ridiculous stock of aged Montecristo 1s and Tubos. 63rd calle just ask the girls to find you a box of yellow tubed Montecristo Tubos from the back. 07 or 09 box codes with those nice screw cap tubes instead of the halfway friction tubes. Good for the price down there. They rarely have LGC 2s but if they do, that's what i'd pick up. See if the Partagas Seleccion Privada is out there yet - or anything with the LE 2014 band. Perhaps even the Bolivar Super Corona. That's something I predict will be a nice smoke. I have absolutely no backing to taht statement. But hey. I'm trying to be positive here! If you can, the 2011 Hoyo Piramides MAY still be found at the aeroport or whatever. 76 CUCs per box and there was still some left over in August from what I heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been noticing the last few trips that the Varadero LCDH's have become a little less 'consistent' with their pricing on some things and have had to call them out a few times...

EuroTrash Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Connie are $203CUC and Winnie are $323CUC I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 $323CUC I believe. 63rd calle has them for 375 CUC. WATCH OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTrash Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 63rd calle has them for 375 CUC. WATCH OUT! Sorry they may be more than 323. I think they are 13.XXcuc/stick. But not 375 (per legit price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 There were no 520s or Noellas as of a month ago. I STRONGLY suggest getting in touch with Mr. Alfonso at 63 and asking if he has any double edmundo or robusto customs ready to go. They are fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 But not 375 (per legit price). that's why i said watch out....... I STRONGLY suggest getting in touch with Mr. Alfonso this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondog Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The Sir Winstons are $331.25/box U. RR $74.50/box Punch EL 2013 $263.75/box great cigar and makes them a great $$ value as they go doublish anywhere else Connie $203.75 again a great value there Alfonso's stuff is good and worth picking up for sure, price is always right.

Maplepie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just a note... Open the box in front of them. Check layers. I've had issues of mouldy tubos that i showed them the day after and was told it wasn't their cigar. When home, FREEZE EVERYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
