Just back from a week in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Lived there for some years and went back for Dubai Rugby 7s and some sun. Went to the LCDH while I was there and bought a variety of smokes for the stay. Great selection and great prices.
While their prices are good, the Airport Duty Free are even cheaper. So last night at the LCDH I bought some Partagas Shorts. Would have got a cab of 50, but just got a box of 25 as I had no more space (plus the fact that I live in Europe allowing pretty easy access to cubans anyway).
GKI Feb 04 at 330 Dirhams = 67 Euro = 90 US$
The cab of 50 were 628 Dirhams 127 Euro = = 171 US $
So if any of you are flying through Dubai, you can expect some great offers.

Great to hear you had a good time! I was actually planning a trip to the 7's but it was not to be
Dubai Airport LCDH is the best place I have been to purchase cigars next to La Cava Magallanes in Madrid. It's too bad they dont have the biggest selection. I always take at least a cople of boxes on the way through though.
I once traveled through Napa Valley and I picked me up a case of Sutter Home White Zinfandel!! Was gonna get TWO cases, but I didn't have the space. I just LOVE that stuff.

It's not really worth taking the trip to LCDH in Emirates Towers. It would make a good place in which to smoke just for the experience, but it's underground, small (kind of claustraphobic) and the prices aren't great. They have a great range of limited edition humidors though.
