In Helsinki, I was fortunate to find (thanks to my wife’s searching on the internet) the oldest cigar shop in Finland. The name is Havanna Aitta and was founded in 1897. This shop is clean, well-stocked with both Cuban and non-Cuban cigars at reasonable (for Europe) prices. Located about three blocks from the port with its excellent open-air market, it is tucked in one of those old ornate buildings that Helsinki has taken great care to preserve.
They take pride in their product as exhibited by their expertise in describing their product, be it a cigar for casual walking or serious enjoyment with a find liquor. When I asked them to snip a walking cigar, the staff found that they were not happy with the cut and immediately replaced the cigar so that the cut could be just perfect.
Friendly, professional and with a nice collection which will suit your individual need, I can recommend this shop to all.
