Hi there, I live in South Africa, and sourcing good quality cigars is surprisingly difficult here! I'm relatively new to smoking cigars, and ever since I learnt what to look for in fakes, I'm just disgusted to see how many shops here are selling them! AND at full price! I found only one...

You'll have to excuse my ignorance here but because of my location (Malaysian Borneo) I get all of my cigars by mail order and haven't set foot in a B&M or bought an unboxed stick for over 20 years. My wife runs a small cafe and she's been keeping a modest humidor for her customers (yes, you...

Just received a box of Cohiba Genios and the Box Code was only on the outside packaging box not the actual cigar box. Never seen this before. Is this the new norm?

I now realize that for some, the box or other packaging has some collector appeal. The limited coffin or box from Tat comes to mind. I have seen barrels and even some almost humidor quality boxes, too. Even as a sales pitch, I have to wonder if the cigars sold in these "exotic" containers add...

Well I rush home thinking a order was supposed to arrive. Normally shows up in a bag but remembered asking for better packing. Broke out the knife and something was astray. I was expecting a box in here. Wait this is not my order! Most know better than to dare do this to me. Then I pull...

So, as you may have heard; greedy Canada Post carriers decided to strike a few weeks ago, and on June 15th Canada Post had no choice but to lock out all carriers across the country. I placed an order for ~125 cigars through cigarplace.biz and they have been sitting in a CP sorting plant since...

Hi All, this is my first post on the pipe side and it's just to say a big thanks to Jeff (aka commonsenseman) for his Tambolaka awarness contest which I managed to win (I knew all those years of watching Magnum P.I. would pay off later in life!). WOOHOO! He has also answered a heap of questions...

Gran Habano Corojo Vintage 2002 Robusto Cigar Review - Great packaging and decent smoke! i got this in a sampler from CI. The packaging is amazing, as another reviewer noted. Nice strong cigar, with good construction and strong simple... Read the full review here: Gran Habano Corojo Vintage...

Haven't seen a thread on this yet so I thought I'd make one. What is your favorite packaging? I would say what is your favorite box, but since cigars come in many different forms such as bundles and tins, I don't want to leave anything out, so I will just say packaging and leave it at that. I...

Happy Holidays, to everyone here! Hope this season for you is filled with joy and great memories, and of course the aroma of fine cigars!! I have a couple of questions I am hoping can be answered here by some of the more experienced brothers... Let me start off by stating that the vendor I...

CB-UW-C/L-12,13-n-25 Is the packaging code of some SLR A's and I was wondering what exactly all that means?

It may be kitchy but I really like some of JR cigars packaging. I really liked the book/humidor boxes and I dig the little kegs on the cover of their current catalog. It's not enough to make me buy the cigars they tend to offer by the box but I really enjoy the creativity. So I have a couple...

Just saw two boxes of Upmann Monarch's, Box Code SCO NOV 00, with the old school red and gold Upmann bands. These bands are not the revised ones seen on new Upmann's (like No. 2's), but the simple old ones. The wax paper strap appears to be old, so I do not think they are recently banded, and...

The Gurkha thread got me a thinkin... I am so sick and tired of the ostentatious and down right ridiculous cigar packaging and marketing ideas out there. I love Tatuaje, simple, elegant, and damn tasty. No. 3 best selling brand right now on results, not on fancy packaging. Then I see Gurkha...

I consider myself a noob. I have however smoked a few quality cigars, fuente camacho, hoyo, JDN, tats, punch. What taught me the most about value and quality vs. price were the cfo #7s (let sit for 3 months before smoking) and fdo cigars. These cigars are just about as good as any I have smoked...

So as I was driving in to work today, I was listening to the Doc's latest StogieFresh 5 podcast (great job by the way as always). Anyway, he was reviewing an Ashton ESG Robusto, which retails for just south of $18 a stick. He was describing the impeccable craftsmanship and when he got to the...

Hey guys... Im on the standby list for my first newbie trade.. Anyone have any pointers for packaging these bad-boys for shipping. I'll be sending 5 or so. Thanks! -Camp PS: Did a quick search and couldnt find it.. A link to a past answered question would be great also if someone has it.

i was wondering, if i were to send a few cigars to a friend, whats the best way to package them? bubble wrap, then need to be snug so they wont break. any thoughts?

Well one of the BOTL's posted a LINK(thanks bro) some time ago for one of Cigar Internationals *ONe day only specials*. Padilla Achilles.....so I fired on 24 of these bad boys for $61.50 shipped(stupid cheap compared to the retail and current price). So I finally got em today. When I picked up...
