Cigar Shop
Just past security in T2, Cigar Shop sits on the main departures walkway serving smokers looking for something nicer than a corner kiosk pack. It’s a small duty-paid setup, not a lounge, and you won’t find a walk‑in humidor, but you can still pick up recognizable brands before your flight boards.
The shop keeps typical airport hours, roughly matching early morning departures and staying open through the last evening flights out of T2, so figure 24/7 coverage most days. Stock skews to single cigars and small packs rather than full boxes, matching carry‑on reality. Prices run higher than downtown Yerevan, as you’d expect, but still within normal European airport markups.
Selection leans on mainstream Cuban and non‑Cuban names, with a few mid‑range options rather than rare limited editions, so set your expectations accordingly. You can usually find a decent robusto or corona under the mid‑teens in USD equivalent, depending on exchange rates at Zvartnots. Accessories are basic: lighters and cutters, not high‑end cases.
There’s no seating or smoking area attached to Cigar Shop, and local rules mean you’ll be looking for the designated smoking room in T2 after purchase if you want to light up. Staff typically handle simple recommendations by brand and strength but don’t expect deep sommelier‑level guidance. Plan your stop here on the way to the gates, not as a separate excursion from another part of the terminal.
