Mallorca/Majorca is one of the top tourist destinations for Europeans. As a result it is an extremly busy and touristy island in high season, i.e. over the summer months. The winter can be quite rainy so I'd recommend trying to spend some time during the shoulder seasons May/June or Sept/Oct.

Bob I haven't been to Majorca yet, but I will his winter, hopefully. Now Cigars? I imagine you are talking about Cuban cigars? From the first time I went to Spain in 2007 and walked into Gimeno"s in Barcelona and bought a handful of $1.00, yes $1.00 Cuban cigars and other assorted famous Cuban brands, to my last trip just recently to Italy. If you love and enjoy good cigars you are going to be disappointed with the quality of cigars being produced by the "bearded one". The Cuban farmer is still producing a flavorful leaf, but the construction, the draw and the burn of what was once the pinnacle of a great smoke, is merely an expensive, overrated and over-hiped product from Cuba. Sitting at a bar in Asturias Spain with a few locals talking, watching their F1 favorite son (Fernando Alonso), drinking Brandy and lighting one up with the others there. The conversation came up. And they all agreed that they're not what they use to be. Good luck in your endeavors and let us cigar lovers know if they have reversed their decline.
