Toronto Cigar Stores

[yellow19man]

I'd be interested in knowing some good T.O. shops as well.
Monk is from Toronto, I'm sure he'll drop a line when he gets a chance.

I know of the places in Yorkville and the Holy Smokes in all the big Loblaws stores, just hoping I could find a place with reasonable prices and most importantly aren't giving me fakes.

If you do a google search for cigar stores in toronto, you'll eventually find a nice long list. However, I've never been to any of them so don't know how reputable they are.

Dude, you ain't got a hope in hell of finding that in Canada.

As a suggestion, if you want "authentic" Cuban cigars at a decent price, go to Cuba. And I'm not being ignorant or sarcastic, it's true.

You could pay ~ $1000-1100 for 2 people to go to Cuba, all inclusive, for a week. You're allowed to bring back 50 cigars per person (of legal age).

If you buy 25 Cuaba Exclusivos for $120 CUC (Cuban Convertible Pesos, add ~ 20% to get Canadian), 25 Monte Cristo Edmundos for ~$180, 25 Punch - Punch Punch for ~$155 and 25 RASS for ~ $125. So there's a total of $580 CUC, or ~ $700 CDN. Those 100 smokes in Canada will run you in the vicinity of $3000-3500. You do the math.

Make sense???

This is, of course, assuming you aren't American and you can get there easily!!!

Sounds like a great excuse for a vacation.

Very true about going to Cuba. I make trips down south yearly and usually pick up cigars. Just started to get into cigars so only bought 5/10 cigars in previous years.

I recently bought a humidor and the owner told me the cigar business is hurting now because it is so easy to go down to Cuba and buy cigars and bring them back.

If I came home with 100 cigars, that would last me forever! I barely smoke in the winter since it is cold here in Toronto, unless someone has a few places where you can actually smoke inside these days.
