Ordering Toscani cigars direct from Italy?

August 23, 2005 1:34 AM

Here’s one for the mefiosi italiani: do you know if there are any Tabacchi who would accept & fulfil international credit-card orders for Toscani & Toscanelli cigars?

I formed a fondness for these cheap & potent smokes during a stay in Italy, but am unable to find them here in Scandinavia. I have ordered them from an on-line retailer in the UK, but am thereby paying at least double the Italian price. There are many Tabacchi with web-sites, but I’ve found none offering the convenience of an on-line store: is there such a place? Or am I best off contacting potential vendors directly via e-mail?

Best answer: Not the most sophisticated online shopping but it takes online credit card payments. And there's an email you can contact first should you have questions about shipping & the like (though you might find an Italian speaker to write the email for you as there's no English version of the site)

That last page Google translated.

Response by poster: Thanks, romakimmy: I'll have to try e-mailing them, as their registration process seems broken. I think I remember just enough Italian to string together a comprehensible mail.
