Two data sources: Rows with a ● LIVE badge are scraped every 6 hours and reflect the retailer's current price + stock state. Rows showing Last verified · 15 May are historical manual research — the retailer may not currently carry this SKU or may be sold out. Always tap "Shop →" and verify availability on the retailer's site before purchasing. We're expanding live-scraping coverage to every SKU monthly.

Reading the "Duty / Ships" column. Duty-paid is where the listed price is genuinely all-in — excise duty + VAT already baked in. Buy from a duty-paid country and what you see is what you pay. Buy across borders and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise + VAT on top:

  • 🇸🇪 SE, 🇩🇰 DK, 🇫🇮 FI, 🇮🇪 IE: Customs intercepts inbound tobacco mail orders. A box of 25 Cuban premiums typically gets a €100–€300 surcharge at the door.
  • 🇬🇧 UK (post-Brexit): UK Tobacco Products Duty (~£5.31/kg + 16.5% ad valorem on cigars) + 20% VAT. A €765 box typically becomes £1,250–1,400 delivered.
  • 🇨🇭 CH ↔ EU: Outside the EU customs union — destination duty + VAT applies in both directions.

Tip: tap show all-in rows for my country to dim every retailer whose listed price isn't fully duty-paid where you live. Always verify the total delivered cost on the retailer's checkout before buying.

About this cigar

Juan López Selección No. 1 — tasting notes and pricing context

Juan López is one of the older Habanos brands still in continuous production — founded in the 1870s and rolled at the Romeo y Julieta factory in Havana. The Selección No. 1 is the brand's flagship Corona at 5.6 inches by 42 ring, and it's the cigar most aficionados name when discussing accessible, mid-priced Cuban premiums. The blend sits between Hoyo de Monterrey and Punch in strength — not as gentle as the Le Hoyo line, not as forceful as Bolívar — and it's renowned for delivering a remarkable amount of complexity at a price that consistently undercuts Cohiba, Montecristo and Partagás.

The smoke opens with cedar and hay, drifts through a creamy honeyed middle, and finishes on coffee and a touch of toasted bread. Across Europe a box of 25 sits in the €355 to €440 range: Noblego runs around €375, LCDH Brussels €395, Cigarmust CHF 425 (~€445 after FX). One of the best-value comparison-shopping targets in the Cuban catalogue.


FAQ

Juan López Selección No. 1 — frequently asked questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy Juan López Selección No. 1 in Europe right now?

Prices and availability shift weekly. Save this SKU to your watchlist with the Save price alert button to get an email the moment any retailer in your country drops below your target price.

Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.

If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.

How does Juan López Selección No. 1 compare to other Juan López cigars?

Juan López is one of the older Habanos brands still in continuous production — founded in the 1870s and rolled at the Romeo y Julieta factory in Havana. The Selección No. 1 is the brand's flagship Corona at 5.6 inches by 42 ring, and it's the cigar most aficionados name when discussing accessible, mid-priced Cuban premiums.

Is the price for Juan López Selección No. 1 likely to drop?

Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

Short-term, prices fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.
