I'm a student based in Cork and rarely make it up to Dublin, so I don't know what the situation with cigars is. There's only a few places in Cork and they have a very limited selection, only stocking the top of the line mainstream Cubans, which I can't afford with any regularity.

Are all cigars in Ireland ridiculously taxed and thus ridiculously expensive?

Yes, at least all cigars bought in Ireland.

I presume one of the shops will post stuff down, but is it even worth trying for something cheaper?

Yes and yes

Do any of the shops have a catalogue, because I've looked at there sites and they don't have a store system.

Not really.

Finally, is it worth ordering from one of the European sites or will customs pick up on it?

Yes and there is a chance.

Cheers.
