Tenerife cigars may be hand rolled. Find out where to buy...Tenerife cigars are much wanted as gifts or by people that simply love smoking them. My pal Guenther Dahmen is something like a walking Tenerife insider resource because, he has been a tourist on the island since 1972 and has now settled and retired there.
He mentioned a mustard yellow house on the coastal road for buying Tenerife cigars twice when we were driving along the Garachico sea chore.
Lately, I managed to go see this shop.
The tobacco shop is in the yellow building you see to the right of the photo in Avenida Venezuela, 5. The man inside doesn't seem to speak any other language than Spanish. Anyway, his telephone handy number is (Spain 0034) 654 28 37 33. You are bound to pass this tobacco shop on the way south 1 minute after the rock pools Garachico. You may notice little parking space in front. A little further on we found some.
The shop Tabacos Arturo seems topromote mainly Macuba cigars. However, there were more boxes on top of shelves in the back. We were in a hurry on our day trip to Icod, Masca, San Eugenio beach and Arona. I tried to find out only the most important. Yes, the man whose name might be Miguel Angel Jiménez Muñoz because that's what his business card says can sell you hand rolled cigars.
Many tourists want to buy hand rolled cigars. The salesman made one for me. I suppose that he can make any shape or virtually any size if the tobacco leaf he pulls out permits. Therefor, no point to show you a photo. For a rather slim pointy cigar he charged me 1 Euro.
Guenther, once, said that Arturo's shop used to sell cigars with all kinds of flavors. Strawberry or whatever...My pal just loves hand rolled Tenerife cigars from Tabacos Arturo and says that's the best shop for it on the island. I haven't tried the one I bought. A victim needs finding to sample mine. This cigar is called a Caliceño. To judge by the smell of the tobacco it must be good. Please, return from Tenerife cigars to shopping in Tenerife.
