SamuraiJack Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Howdy, is there a closed set of brands made available at duty free shops in airports? Or is it random? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDigger Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I've only been to the one in Cancun. You can expect mostly Cohiba and Montecristo. Here is a picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumpetchris Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Mostly the big name stuff. Lots of smaller sizes, three and five packs, etc. Romeo, Partagas, Cohiba, Montecristo. The three or four duty free shops I've seen, London, Amsterdam, Shanghai, didn't look all that great as far as storage considerations. Glass front cabinets that didn't seal, no visible humidity control on many, etc. London did have the best cared for cigars in the airport (it appeared), although JJ Fox and LCDH got my cigar money. So be careful if you select cigars from the airport. Most of the cigar displays are in a liquor/candy/canned meat shops and may not be taken care of as well as B&Ms in the city you're visiting. JM2C.

SamuraiJack Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 The only one I've seen is a walk-in in Stockholm. Seemed very well kept and had ALL KINDS of brands, but I don't remember them all. Monte, Cohiba, RyJ and Trini for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm, De Gaul, amd Madrid all have great DF selections. As I recall, Madrid had the best prices. Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 » Howdy, is there a closed set of brands made available at duty free shops in » airports? Or is it random? » » Thanks! DF space is expensive so the average Airport tobacconist simply stocks what moves and what moves are Monte/Cohiba/R&J and plenty in the cardboard packs. Those which are owned by distributors and/or which are specialists will have a much wider range. Singapore is expensive and the range so so.

Dr.G Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks Guys. Maybe I'll just hold off until I get back to Oz. But I might get a 3 pack for while I'm in Nepal! Cheers, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolivr Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Singapore is a mixed bag also in the quality of storage. In the old terminal they do not really have a proper humidor. It's a cupboard and the Rh proudly showing on the gauge was 35%... I bought some Bolivar tubos since they would be the least adversely affected. I just had time to glance at the store in the new terminal (terminal 3 ? ) looks like a proper walk in humi but the prices, yes, very high to my eyes.
