What killed me about Canada and cigar prices was not so much the price of Cuban cigars as the price of non Cubans. In Toronto I saw the largest Padron 64 going for $100! Don't know if thats the normal price for those up there though. The Cohibha Siglo six was $57. Taxes gone crazy, might as well go all the way and make tobacco illegal.
ahhh, okay cool thanks for the response guys! I kinda figured it had to do with the gov taxes and duty...sigh...
I hate seeing how most of you guys can buy such nice cigars for the prices you get em for...oh well, I guess I will have to venture down to the B&M's you guys get your fancy smokes from
If I remember correctly, the wholesale tax on cigars in Canada is 150%. It doesn't matter if the cigars are Cuban or not. I believe the price of a pack of cigarettes is about 8-10 bucks.

My wife smokes cigarettes and when we were in Canada a couple years ago she did pay something like 8-10 dollars. You get 25 cigarettes though in a pack if I remember correctly. Weird brands though, and didn't taste all that great compared to American cigarettes.
I also found it absolutely impossible to find a descent bottle of wine up there. They have the State run liquor stores with a horrible selection and the beer store with only beer. The grocery store had a small wine shop but the wine came from the Niagara Falls area and sucked big time. But maybe I just didn't know were to go, it's not like the U.S. with liquor stores on every corner, it seems only the government sells liquor or something.
Please correct my ignorance on these subjects if I am totally wrong.

In Washington, the GOV sells any hard liquor. Wine, beer, etc. are sold in the grocery stores, but hard liquor is sold by the gov.
Everyone here, in Ont anyways, buys their smokes from the Indian reserves. $10 for 200 ciggs. Of course their not as good as name brands but they are cheaper. I'm glad I quit ciggs though, I fell better and it leaves more money for cigars.If I remember correctly, the wholesale tax on cigars in Canada is 150%.

Really? That's really wierd. Do they have Canadian style government liquor stores or non Duty shops or something? Seems aweful unAmerican to me! :laugh: Are there no Liquor stores in Washington?

I've been apprehensive, about ordering Cubans online even though I'm in Canada and can legally. I've heard a lot of times you end up paying the duty/taxes anyway. Can any other Canadians shed some lite on this?
