I know that as a cigar smoker I should be hung drawn and quartered but I think Portugal is a little less punitive than UK and for heavens sake people ought to be able to make their own judgement on what they can and cannot do with their lives. I am coming to CVO in June and was wondering if there was a good tobacconist in the village that sells Cuban cigars.

Yes i totally agree , life choices about smoking should be totally personal , you will probally get the best cigars available in any of the local tobaconnist shops, i understand that irish times has went back to non smoking ,!!!!!!!! its like being on a see saw, or could be a ventilation problem!!!!!!!!! .

There are lots of shops selling smokes and whilst I don't know anything about cuban cigars, OH buys a brand from the local smoke shops called Mignon (the dark brown packets not the rust coloured ones) and now smokes them in preference to other brands.

All the baccy shops sell cubans. The one on corner opposite Lanterna Velha has good selection I think. A good cheap smoke are Spanish Alvaros, the Saludos size - cheaper here than in Spain!
