Italy

Restricted. Italy permits online tobacco sale only under specific conditions (often: identity verification, no public price display, or shipping limited to certain regions). The retailers listed above operate inside those rules; prices may be brochure-only or require an account to view.

The cheapest in-stock box on our Italy tracker right now is Bolívar Petit Coronas at approximately EUR 290. The full ranking is in the catalogue above, sorted by current price ascending across the 7 licensed retailers we track in Italy.

Prices and stock shift weekly — set a price alert on any individual SKU page to get an email the moment a retailer in Italy drops below your target.

If you buy from a retailer based in Italy and ship to a Italy address: no — duty + VAT are already included in the listed price.

If you buy from a retailer in another country and ship to Italy: yes — Italy will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at customs, regardless of whether the retailer is inside the EU. Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the UK, and Switzerland all enforce this aggressively on inbound tobacco mail order. Stick with the duty-paid retailers above unless you're buying from a country with a lower net rate and you've done the math.

LCDH (La Casa del Habano) is the official franchise network of Habanos S.A. — the Cuban state tobacco company. LCDH stores get first allocation on Edición Limitada releases, sell exclusive house-line cigars, and are the highest-prestige tier. Look for the gold LCDH badge in the listings above.

Habanos Specialist is a quality tier below LCDH — licensed by Habanos S.A., trained staff, guaranteed authenticity. Most premium Cuban-only shops fall here.

Generic tobacconist sells Cuban alongside Dominican, Nicaraguan and supermarket-grade cigars. Authenticity is usually fine but allocation on rare SKUs is limited.
