Howdy All:

I hope you are great.

I am heading to Frankfurt Germany on Sunday. Anyone have some good cigar shops to direct me towards?

Best regards, tony

My mom was born in Frankfurt. I'll give her a call tomorrow and see if she recalls anything. I know it's been about 5 years since she's been back though. Have fun!

Here's something I found, food, drink and cigars....

Situated on exclusive Kaiserstraße, Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof is home to one of the finest gourmet restaurants in Germany, Restaurant Français. The magnificent 19th-century neo-Renaissance building is one of the few surviving remainders of the beautiful Altstadt (Old Town) and has attracted numerous famous names over the years, including the philosopher Schopenhauer who was a regular lunchtime guest. The timelessly elegant interior exudes a laid-back, cosmopolitan ambiance; the conference rooms are almost always full. The complex includes Oscar's bistro, a bar, several boutiques, and a specialist cigar shop and Havana Lounge, the exclusive smokers' club.

Hi Tony,

I'm not sure, but I thought one of my friends in Germany was telling me that they have opened or were going to open a La Casa Del Habano in Frankfurt. I'm not sure if its been opened or not though. I hope you have a great trip!

From what I know, they are having problems with Habanos on this and are considering other companies to brand the location with....No more info other than that.

Yeah, they will loose the CdH designation. It´s not clear whether the hop will continue to exist.

Note: hosting a swinger party in a CdH is not THAT great an idea.:wtf:

As to smoking in Frankfurt: The Steigenberger is nice, but also rather pricey. We have fixed prices on cigars in germany, but Restaurants/bars can charge a service fee on top of that!

Thanks, I did not know that about the pricing.

Is there a cigar store in Frankfurt that you know of that would charge the fixed prices?

Best regards, tony

Well, any shop has to charge the fixed price by law. Only bars or restaurants may charge an additional service fee on top of that.

There is a chain of tobacco stores which has several stores in Frankfurt. Te one on Schillerstr is supposed to be pretty good.

Wolsdorff Tobacco GmbH
Schillerstraße 4,
60313 Frankfurt am Main
Hope this helps,

Kilian

Thanks for the help.

We went by the Casa de La Habano last night and it was closed it had a sign that said something like "It is currently not possible to sell cigars" not sure what that means.

We went to the Ciggarrum place and had a great time. They were very attentive to us and had a good selection of smoke and drink.

Best regards, tony
