Hoping to be in Rome in a bit.

Any recent updates on stores/stock?

will also be in Sorrento and Amalfi but figure that is a much longer shot. 
Would love to pick up a few singles (regionals if they can be found), but will pack a few of my own in case we end up in Tuscany before I can find anything local. 
It’ll be vacation so I’ll hold my nose on pricing for something vacation Worthy

I just back from Rome a week ago. Talked to multiple owners in Venice and Rome and Rome doesn’t have any Cuban cigars. LCDH Fincato has nothing to sell and he has a group of buyers that he saves his boxes for when they come in. Venice has some if you want to take a 4 hour high speed train ride, but House of Cigars is not selling any boxes due to the cuban cigar shortage and they only sell 5 cigars max which is where I picked up my Partagas Aliados. Bought the last two they had.

I’m hoping to get some suggestions….I’ll be Milan, Lake Como area and Volterra (Tuscany) in October….hoping to see if anyone has any suggestions on good cigar shops.

Im ‘assuming’ the Lake Como area might be promising given the clientele that frequent there.

Was just in Naples and scored a box of the Noella regional at Sisimbro. They had a decent amount of singles for sale, a box of Leyendas, and other odds and ends. Most of the REs, LEs and Behike were reserved. Was eyeing the Leyenda until I realized they are now €1,400 a box…

Was just at LCDH Rome.  Almost no stock.  What little they did have was low end RyJ, Capitols, and Reyes.  Staff disheartened with the lack of supply.  Little joy in the job anymore.  One bright light was they just received a small amount of Cuaba Distinquidos.  Snagged a box.  BRM ENE 23.  There’s still some left if you’re interested.

As an aside, my wife and I finally crossed Rome off the bucket list.  Fantastic city.  Stunning food and Barolos in Trastevere.  Great experience, highly recommend.  
 

Hope you’re all well.  Ciao : )

I’ll be in Lake Como, Volterra, Florence, Sienna and at the Milan airport…I’ll update this post if I find any inventory.

Was in Rome and Tuscany 2 weeks ago and had zero luck in Rome. However Tabaccheria Il Chiasso Largo in Siena I struck gold and found a jar of RA Noellas and some SCdlH El Morro. 

Great info…I’ll definitely have to check into that shop if I’m in the area. How were the prices? Inflated, about average, at suggested retail?

I was there for the Ryder Cup and was able to buy some stock, but was told that had I been an hour earlier or later, I likely would have been out of luck. Good luck hunting!

I was in Fincato LCDH two weeks ago. No stock of CC - just empty SLB. A smattering of NC. The owner was expecting a shipment of CC the following week, but was doubtful if there would be much to choose from.

Yep…I hit Fincato Wednesday morning….nothing in stock. They said stop back afternoon or next morning and might receive a shipment.  I was only in Rome for a few days so didn’t get back.  Nice shop though and nice people! I did buy an Andalusian Bull cigar (LFD), which I had never tried before.  It was well balanced and graham cracker tasty. Paid 28 euros for it.
