Cohibas are a beautiful cigar, whichever one you smoke. Very pricey in Ireland, you'll get them much cheaper in Spain. Or indeed Cuba. But Spain is cheaper to get to
EDIT. I'm smoking one now, I've been off fags 3 months now, and I had a moment of weakness, but hey, I didn't have one at new years eve
Anyway, apart from going all the way to Cuba (which is an interesting trip, once you don't stay at the exclusive resorts) it's worth going to Spain to pick up some, you'll be able to pay the air fare and then some with the cheaper price.0 -

I don't think you will save the air fair by buying cigars.
Yes they are cheaper due to excise but its only worthwhile if you are going to Spain for holiday/business. I have heard of people going over to buy their cigs for a couple of months but that's another story.
If you are in Spain and get the chance to go to Gibraltar, then there are definite savings there but it's a pain in neck having to queue going through Spanish customs.0 -

Not sure of the IV but I got a 5 pack of lanceros for around 80.
A Cohiba IV is €23.50 in Fox's, how much would one be in Spain?
Might change my holiday destination from France to Spain if cigars are that much cheaper...
In Gibraltar I got the behike 56 for around 220 approx along with many others. 0 -

I buy them when holidaying there, I wouldn't be going there specifically to buy cigars. Though having said that, you would save the air fare buying 8 or 10 cigars there. I'm off the fags now, but I used to max out on the amount of cigarettes and tobacco you can bring back and not have to buy smokes in Ireland for 6 months, my holidays well and truly paid for themselves, and then some. You can legally bring 1 kilo of tobacco back + 800 cigarettes, you can buy 100 gramme pots of American Spirit and Pueblo for about €12. (both 100% natural tobacco, no additives) for some bizarre reason you cannot get American Spirit in Ireland.I don't think you will save the air fair by buying cigars.

Cohiba II's cost about €12.50 in Barcelona, I enquired about them in Fox's a couple of years ago, they were about €25, as far as I recall.A Cohiba IV is €23.50 in Fox's, how much would one be in Spain?

Edit. It was about 5 years ago when I enquired in Fox's, they probably cost a bit more there now. I might have been enquiring about Cohiba V's, it was a while ago, but I have a 5 pack of II's that cost €62.50 in Barcelona, so there's a comparison to make. 0 -
