Quint Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'm in Israel this week and I was wondering if anybody knows of any good cigar shops in the area I can visit and pick up a few cigars. I'm staying in Netanya and working in Caesarea. Netanya is about 30 minutes from Tel Aviv. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shlomo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Freddie's Cigars in Tel Aviv on the street side of the Dan Hotel (beachfront) is an absolute must. The man is incredibly charming, knowledgeable and a great host. There is also an OK shop in Mamila mall in the old city, Jerusalem. Its touristy, but a good selection of spirits and cigars, plus a nice place to sit and smoke or go for a stroll. Freddie's Cigars however, is my absolute favorite place to be for a cigar, possibly worldwide. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Excellent I'll give Freddie's a try. Thanks so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundeie Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Found a shop while here in May 2019 called Porto Vino. Good wines and other liquor as well. Spoke to Oded Mualem who let me know he would ship if I desired. Call or email. Packed my selection well with a 72% Boveda humidity packet (will update this post during my stay in Israel). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Stopped in at Brill while in Tel Aviv a few years back. As I recall, cigars are quite a few Shekels there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundeie Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Updated 5/21/19...Ran across the below shop after a day visiting Old Jerusalem sites. Within 10 minutes walk of the Jaffa gate walked into “Smoker”. Formerly a wholesale smoke shop they added a humidor and cater to a wide variety of smokers.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundeie Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 And another... This one is just up the street from our rented flat. Sells Israeli wines from Golan Heights... 22 Ben Yehuda Street Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like wines from Tishbi Estate and Clos du Gat (as Israeli wines in general; not to mention a few other brands). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundeie Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I’m not well versed but have had these since we got here. Both pretty good.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundeie Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Found this one in the mall near the Jaffa gate called the Smoke Shop (not the same as “Smokers”). Recommended by a shop owner near the Wohl Architectural Museum as well as a group of pastors I ran into at a small jazz venue. Ships worldwide according to Amir. Lots of wines and liquors.

SmokyFontaine Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Interesting fact about cigars in Israel - they all have the caps pre-snipped! Hey-o! I'll be here all week. Tip your waitstaff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
