Brevas

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

Quintero Brevas — tasting notes and pricing context

Quintero was founded in 1924 in Cienfuegos (not Havana — one of the few Habanos brands rolled outside the capital) and has been quietly producing accessible Cuban cigars ever since. The brand sits one notch above José L. Piedra in the budget Cuban hierarchy — Quintero uses long-filler tobacco like the premium brands, but a gentler blend and less aged wrapper that keeps the price well below Cohiba, Montecristo and Partagás territory. The Brevas is the most-traded Quintero vitola — a slim 5.4-inch by 40 ring format designed for a 30-to-45-minute smoke.

The smoke is gentle and approachable. First third opens with cedar, hay and a faint sweetness; the middle drifts into Quintero's signature creamy, slightly woody core; the last third delivers a smooth, mild finish. A box of 25 sits in the €165 to €215 range: Noblego runs around €175, Cigarworld €185, Cigarmust CHF 195 (~€205). Among the most consistently in-stock Cuban SKUs — supply outstrips demand.


FAQ

Quintero Brevas — frequently asked questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy Quintero Brevas 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 Quintero Brevas compare to other Quintero cigars?

Quintero was founded in 1924 in Cienfuegos (not Havana — one of the few Habanos brands rolled outside the capital) and has been quietly producing accessible Cuban cigars ever since. The brand sits one notch above José L. Piedra in the budget Cuban hierarchy — Quintero uses long-filler tobacco like the premium brands, but a gentler blend and less aged wrapper that keeps the price well below Cohiba, Montecristo and Partagás territory. The Brevas is the most-traded Quintero vitola — a slim 5.4-inch by 40 ring format designed for a 30-to-45-minute smoke.

Is the price for Quintero Brevas 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.
