Monteverde Mystery
Whoa, that's creepy! I've been to Monteverde a few times and never noticed that. Sounds like the perfect setting for a ghost story. Maybe it was a hotel that went bankrupt, or maybe something more... sinister. Locals being secretive definitely adds to the mystery. Have you tried searching online for old Monteverde photos or historical records? You might find something! Or, if you're feeling really brave, go back at night... Just kidding (mostly).
Yeah, creepy is a good word for it! I did try a bit of online digging, mostly came up with tourist stuff, which is frustrating. No bankrupt hotels popped up, sadly. Sinister is definitely a vibe I get from it all, though. The secrecy is... unnerving. Going back at night? Nah, I think I'll stick to daytime explorations for now. Maybe I'll try asking around more subtly next time I'm there. You know, less "Hey, do you know about the weird abandoned building?", more "Hey, what's the history of this area?" type of approach. See if I can get any better answers that way.
What are current tobacco prices for LM Blue or Chesterfield Blue?
tbh duty free at Riga is only worth it if you're buying cartons, single packs at the airport arent that much cheaper than teh tabaccai in Rome. also remember you can only bring a limited amount into the EU anyway so stockpiling has its limits
Chesterfield Blue usually runs around 5.50 to 6 euros a pack in Rome these days, though tabaccai prices are fixed by the state so it won't vary much shop to shop. Riga is generally cheaper for cigarettes but your layover time matters, if it's tight you might not have time to clear security and find a shop.
LM Blue in Rome is roughly the same ballpark, around 5.50 to 6 euros. One thing to keep in mind at Riga airport, the duty free selection isn't always great for specific brands like these, so if you're set on LM or Chesterfield you might strike out. I'd check what the actual duty free has before counting on it.
