Guest Robo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Online prices for Partagas 898 have gone up recently as high as $300 or more. At $225 in Cuba, I would consider the 898. Also, as mentioned, any Trinidad are a good buy in Cuba. I would also add La Gloria Cubana if you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if anyone else has seen this but the last time I was in Havana in November I saw a 2013 50 cab of Juan Lopez No. 2 mis-priced with the price for 25 on the box. I gave it a try and made it out the door with a 50% discount. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 50 Cab of Juan Lopez...WHAT! Never seen this.

As one who works occasionally in a pretty nice, honest cigar shop, I appreciate when customers call our errors out to us rather than score a few bucks. If memory serves, our host screwed up on a price and after a very short time up, buyers called out the error so he didn't lose any more on sales.

There are some special humidors made for celebration of special ocasions in LCDH (anniversary of a LCDH or the hotel or a celebrity in Cuba). In 2015 I saw in Hotel Habana Libre a humi with 20-30 Mag 56. 50 made If I am not wrong. used to see them reasonably regularly but not for a while.

Thanks for your ridiculous remark about American tourists. The part I didn't mention is the store ripped off my girlfriend several days before when she went to buy a few of her favorite Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2s to smoke with me. They ripped her off, perhaps using the oldest trick in the book. Took her CUCs and gave her change back in CUPs. Her first time in Havana, she didn't check and got screwed out of about $80. So yes.
