Alright, I'm gonna be in the Med. for a month this Summer. I know July/August is the worst time but the kids' school schedule dictates this time...

Can you recommend any good, legitimate cigar shops in the following cities;

Rome, Italy
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Corfu, Greece
Katakolon, Greece
Santorini, Greece
Kusadasi, Turkey
Athens, Greece
Messina, Sicily
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Nice, France
Barcelona, Spain
La Palma de Mallorca, Spain
La Goulette, Tunisia
Palermo, Sicily
Naples, Italy

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!

We will be in Dubrovnik, Croatia on the 26 of June. I will see what I can find for you Fuelie95. Sounds like you will be doing a bit of traveling over here. I know one thing. Cigars are big $$$$$$$ in Italy. We will be in Dubrovnik for three days then going to the island of Hvar for a week.

Thank you very much! I don't expect Cuban Cigars to be cheap so I'm going to buy & smoke along the way and then load up while I'm in Mallorca or Barcelona,,,

It's funny because instead of momentos of each city, it's a CC & hunting for AP/Panerai watches...

Try Gimeno in Barcelona.
http://www.barcelona.com/barcelona_directory/shops/gimeno
There is a link to their website on the above link as well, their own site does not have as many pictures. They don't ship or even advertise prices.
Laeitano in Barcelona also gets reviewed well, I haven't bought there myself. I think you would have an easier time finding Gimenos though. It's on the Ramblas, one of the main tourist streets in the city and quite near the port.
Prices will be similar to the ones on this page
http://www.mycigarsite.com/subopciones/opcion1c/opcion1ceng.html
I think prices may have gone up about 5% since this page was posted. I'll know myself in about 4 weeks.
If, by any chance, you are stopping in Gibraltar, go to Stagnettos, 41 Main Street. Great range, nice service and very good prices.
Have a nice trip.

and the other in VIA GALILEO GALILEI (walk in, wines, champagnes, rhums etc. etc)
