| Where is a good place to buy cigars?
Hey guys, heading back to Asia for vacation. I want to bring some cigars to enjoy with my friends there.
Just wondering where is a good place to buy cigars? Doesn't has to be the expensive ones.
And also, does the duty free shop in YVR sell cigars?
TIA!

Are you looking to export these cigars? If so, check the laws in the respective country you are exporting to.
It is illegal to export Cuban cigars to the USA.
City Cigar is your best bet for cigars. They are an authorized Habanos distributor of Cuban cigars. There aren't any other "good" cigar shops in town that I know of. The other one I liked going to (Robusto in Steveston) folded a year ago.

Best to just go in there and talk to them. They'll tell you what diff ones are like and guide you through it without pressure and help you find something in your budget that will be suitable.

I guess the government tax the hell out of cigars. I probably would save if I can buy them duty free.

+1 For City Cigar
I've found other places charge more than they do. I've been buying Upman LE 09s lately and a place in gastown charges 10 dollars more than they do.

Vancouver is not the cheapest place to buy cigars. If you happen to swing by Hong Kong, they offer better prices and selection.

According to my research, a lot of experts are recommending Montecristo No.4 to be the best beginner cigar.
Anyone has experience with it? Taste and flavor?
Share with us please !

Yup, I am flying international, so I should be able to buy there.
For anyone whos curious about Montecristo No.4 price, thanks to JSALES's help, they are 75 bucks for a box of 25 in the duty free shop ! what a bargain! I read on the internet, it goes for around 150 to 200 dollars in Canada....(correct me if I am wrong)

I also throw up my recommendation for City Cigar. Nice people. Good selection.
Like someone else said, you might wanna look into Asia to buy your Cubans. Since the tax on the Cubans drive up the price a lot in Canada.
