Hello, everybody!

Recently registered here and wanted to introduce myself.

I live in Kiev, Ukraine. I haven't smoked at all until I turned 30. Occasional cigar smoker since then. Seriously allured for last two years.

Favorite sticks (so far) - Fuente Hemingway Short Story; Upmann Magnum 50.

As my knowledge is still somewhat limited, I guess that for quite a while I'll rather be a reader than writer :)

Welcome to botl! Can you describe the typical cigar store where you live and what they stock?

We have only three stores which are specializing on cigars - a local retailer who is also main importer of cigars to the country; a Davidoff boutique, which carries Davidoff, AVO and Griffin's brands and recently opened La Casa Del Habano which is marketed more as a restaurant with walk-in humidor, rather than cigar store.

The main focus is on Cuban and Dominican cigars. Other countries are not really represented - you can occasionally get some CAOs or Te Amos but nothing more.

Cigars in Ukraine are still considered as a luxury item, therefore the prices are prohibitively high. For example, my favorite Artur Fuente Hemingway Short Story is offered here at 25USD per stick :crying: Therefore I tend not to buy them here that often and prefer to stock up in duty free store when i travel somewhere :)

Overall, as far as CCs or DCs are concerned, you can find almost anything here, but at a price. From the other hand, the chance of getting a fake is extremely rare here.
