MountainMilG Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Honeymoon in Israel, sorry to say there is no longer an LCDH at the Intercontinental. There is still a cigar bar, the Che Bar, but very limited stock. They DO have Behikes, but EDIT a crazy amount of shekels per. I’m smoking a Robusto now. They don’t even have Havana Club. Much disappoint. Rome Duty Free was horrific unless you like boxes of Quintero’s. They did have a few hard to find Rolex’s at their shop. Hoping Fincato on way back home through Rome is better. Israel lovely, just not for Cuban cigars so far. Edited January 4, 2019 by MountainMilG Removed price 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If you are still there, the best cigar store in Israel is in Tel Aviv. Brill’s. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 We had a box of the RE Israel. Sent from Brill’s as I mentioned above. We smoked two, after letting them rest in the humidor for a good long time. These short, expensive, “big deal” RE’s as I call them, have exhausted my interest. Sold them. But I hope you enjoy that one! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Mazel tov on your mitzvah. Israeli airport duty free is really solid and had serious discounts if you could buy 2+ boxes. My days of hoping to find cigars travelling to any locale are over. Bring cigars! Sure it's fun the shop for them too, but I don't want to be let down or spin wheels when time is limited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybermadhatter Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Fcigar on the beach is worth checking out. And, As stated above, the duty free has some gems and a vast selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB In Jerusalem now for a few days. Flying out of Tel Aviv to Rome, I want to check out duty free and then Fincato in Rome. The Rome duty free was complete crap. But at least I’ll pick up some Seleccion Maestro and maybe Limoncello (per the wife) for trip back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 My experience with Duty Free is zero. Cigar shoppers have been through 24 hours a day long before us. We try to find out the guys who are recommended sellers and email them before traveling to let them know we are coming by. This has always been a fun thing to show on travel stories here as many may agree I hope. Example below is in Vienna. If you find a great spot, please share. Ok? Cheers and Mazel tov! cb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMilG Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ok, in Jerusalem there’s a Habanos specialist right across from the Waldorf on Mamilla Ave. hooray! Picked up a few more. No boxes, but had some accessories for sale I agree on finding trusted sellers, that’s why it was surprising to me that the LCDH in Tel Aviv had closed. The girl there said closed for 2 years, you’d think HSA would update the website 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
