Duka Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was there last month. Not much of a choice but they have all the boxes open and you can cherry pick your box. I noticed Lusis, Monty 2, RJ wide Churchill, partagas series d no 4, cohibas esplendido, robustes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was in CDG last February. Good selection of regionals. Larger ones are 12:50 -€14 each. Smaller ones €8-10 each. Mostly if not all boxes of 10. They had a lot of 2001 Bolivar Tubos No. 1 and 2, which I know can be brilliant. €140 for 25 No. 1 and €150 for 25 No. 2, which I know is odd but that's how they were priced. I'll be in Terminal 2E in Charles de Gaulle again this Friday, if that's in time for you, will I put up an update? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke6 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 My friend was there last week and relayed that the main store was closed due to remodeling. The smaller ones had some selection but not large. The store with the largest selection may be reopened by the time you are there. He did report that they had QdO Robusto Diplomático, RE 2015s there for about 150 euro per box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an airport duty free it must be much less, but I doubt it's around 7.5 (150/2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin_Safari Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Shlomo, I am through CDG at least once per week. Basic rule for CDG = don't bother with cigars. Very expensive for a small range and all very fresh stock (< 3-4 months), certainly nothing aged or 'laid down'. Staff are usually OK, not specially trained, but quite happy for you to rummage around. Given anyone's opportunity, re-direct through Amsterdam as their 3 x duty free shops are much better for cigars and liquors. Or even better, lay over through CDG for 8-12 hours, get into Paris and buy quality gear. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often don't let me take pictures in there, but I'll put up some prices. Is you friend travelling outside the EU from CDG, i.e. will he get duty-free prices?

Ryan Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 In Terminal 2 E, gate area M at the moment . CDG is a big airport. Terminal 2 E has three gate areas. K,L and M. I'm more familiar with L, it has a large walk in humidor with the good selection. Once you enter a gate area you go through security and are airside, thus no real going back. A friend went through K yesterday and there was very little. No regionals and no walk-in humidor only a couple of cabinets. Gate M has an ok walk in humidor with 3 regionals among the stock. All prices are duty free and in euros for boxes of 10 Por Larrañaga Opera, 102.00 I looked at two boxes, both had raised spots of mold around the heads. I don't mind that but some do. Quai d'Orsay Robusto Diplomatico, 122.00 Juan Lopez Minutos, 79.00 I bought a box of each of these, they looked nice. 3-4 boxes of each left on display. Not much aged, some 2010 VR Don Alejandros. Didn't get the price of those but all DCs were between 320 and 350/25. Hope that helps, I'm off to get my flight. Pics to follow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
