I am out of good sticks. Shops with a good selection are hard to come by in Italy and some have had fake sticks. Does anybody have experience in these places of reputable shops?
The only place to go is LCDH in Rome. Anything else is hit or miss as they say. I am all the way down the boot i manage to get up there about 4 or 5 times a year. If there was a better place i would know about it. Ciao Don.

I just got back from my honeymoon in Rome, Florence, and Sorrento.
In Florence, there was a decent Tabbachi shop one block south-east of the Santa Maria Novella train station. Many such shops in Italy don't carry cigars like we are used to here, but this one did w/a decent selection (Monte's, Padron, H. Upman's, Trinidads, Romeo's, etc.) Prices were pretty good, and they appeared, burned, tasted, etc. right. You have to go in and look though b/c their humidors aren't like what we're used to in the states--usually fairly small if not on the counter.
