Spain Shopping Advice Needed

[Wang]

Hey Guys!

Heading to Spain for my honeymoon in a few hours and wanted to get some last minute shopping advice from the forum

I'll be hitting up Barcelona, Mallorca, and Madrid.... mainly looking for Spanish RE's and aged stock.

Cigar Inspector had a couple nice (and somewhat outdated) articles on Barcelona and Madrid. They suggest Casa Fuster and Gimeno in Barcelona, and Cava Cardenal Cisneros in Madrid.

Also had another BOTL suggest I shop at the Madrid Airport.

If anyone has any other suggestion please let me know! I'll be there for the next week and a half.

Barcelona has a place called Estanc Duaso, not a tourisy place like Gimeno.

It is here:

C/ Balmes, 116 - 08008 Barcelona (España)

Tel. 932 151 330 - Fax. 932 150 557

Madrid Airport is indeed quite nice, however last time I was there which was about two weeks ago, the humidifier was running full blown and the place was like a rain forest so check the stock for mold.

Agree. I got the Diplo Spanish RE and some LGC Tainos there last year

Look out for ramon allones grande er 2008, can be found - and is worth the price

As a rule you will find, what you are looking for,

at a better price point in the local estancos / cava del puro

as opposed to the airport shops.

RA Grandes, Robaina Maestros, Bolivar 108 and some nice aged stock as you mentioned as well.

Good luck and cheers, Alex

I went into that place in 2012 it was a gold mine got a few boxes of some good stuff. Went back in 2013 looked like it had been picked apart .

Thanks so much for the info guys, would have ended up with almost nothing if it wasn't for the great advice from here. Didn't get everything I wanted cause the wife used up most of our funds ...but came back with a few goodies
