I have mixed reviews about this place. Still learning the experience of fine cigar smoking, and…read morebeing from the states, I wanted to pick up some quality cigars (mostly Cubans of course) during my last visit. The store is in a heavy foot traffic area and it appears to get more cigarette shoppers stopping by than anything. The cigar selection was off to the side and not as big as others I've seen. I headed to the cigars and eventually was asked for help. After describing my newness to cigar smoking and a few things I'm looking for, I was given a piece of paper showing their selection. Asking for Montecristo N 2, he said there weren't any available - although later they became available after I started getting many and seeing that I was going to spend some money. Also, they eventually started going around the corner to get different brands and (I assume) better quality sticks. I ended up getting 9 different types and over $800 euro worth. Mainly because the 2 younger gentlemen that worked with me were very patient, respectful and helpful. Towards the end, an older gentlemen (owner maybe?) started helping count and tag the sale. When the younger man ran my credit card, it was declined and the old man walked away mumbling something about "over the limit". A bit insulting. Chase seems to do this to prevent fraud (even though I let them know I'm travelling to specific countries), and an email soon came asking me to validate the purchase and re-run the transaction. I need to remember to just use AmEx. The younger gentleman understood that when I explained it and has apparently dealt with customers from the states before. He threw in some extras for me (no humidity packs for travel though) and I was on my way. Albeit with a mediocre taste in my mouth. They may have a basement or other area, but I didn't see it. As I said, it appears to have more of a "strip mall" feel to it and not really catered to the cigar smokers. No walk-in humidor. I wouldn't advise against going here, but I would also recommend checking out other places if possible.

Casa Fuster is a little shop in a nice section of downtown Barcelona. I would not call them a true…read morecigar shop because they sell more cigarettes and lottery tickets than cigars. This being said they do have a decent selection of Habanos that are all on display in their humidor. Like all of the shops in Spain the prices are more than fair since they have low tobacco taxes and are government regulated. Casa Fuster's selection of Habanos is heavily stacked with the popular marcas such as Cohiba, Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta but limited with the other marcas. One plus is that they have a better selection of the Espana RE's and the Edicion Limitadas than Gimeno most likely because they are not nearly as busy. It was interesting that there were a couple of fakes in the humidor but everything else was authentic Habanos SA product.. There were a handful of Cohiba Double Coronas from the 2003 Edicion Limitada series that were obvious fakes with their claro colored wrappers and crooked cut feet. Besides the fake Cohiba DC's and the staff's limited knowledge, Casa Fuster is more than a decent enough place to purchase your Habanos in Barcelona.

Selling fake Cohibas. Run! Really just a cigarette shop catering to the tourist walk by traffic…read more I figured to check them out based on the reviews. The fakes are so bad, but I had to look at them close to trust my initial opinion. The entire presentation was off. Do not buy cigars here. Fakes!!! Part of a Tobacco retain chain, different location but same store down Ramblas part of same chain even tried to tell me they only had the 'originals' which was why they looked different. Bottom line. Fugasi.
