The Cigar Club is the official importer for Cuban cigars in Japan.

I am glad to hear they remodeled the upstairs, it was a bar then it changed to a shave shop (only shaves) and now its back to a bar.

BTW, Kamiyacho station is much closer.

I’ve been there!!!! Took a week trip up to Tokyo and to climb Mt. Fuji, and spent some time there and in the Beer Cave (home of all the $10 beers you could ever want LOL!). I think it might be like the Casa Fuente in LV…it’s there and if you’re there you’ve just got to go!
The review is right on from what I remember of my trip in 2003.

“They will follow you down the street asking you questions like “Come on my man, come see the titty, come see the titty” or “I know what you want boy, I know what you want, half price for you”.”

You know, that doesn’t sound all bad….

I never recommend purchase cigars in Japan.?Agency’s exploitation is very high, and Japanese tobacco law dont’t permit discount. I think propriety that Tobacco tax is 8.7JPY per 1gram. Therefore I mainly purchase online from US and swiss. If you come to Japan, I suggest that you should bring cigars from your humidor.

The government controlled prices are terrible aren’t they. Just like the “Taxocrats” are doing to our industry here in the U.S.
