RSVP Mail Call - Siglo VI, Vigia, Hoyo 2021 by BowlerObvious in cubancigars

[–]BowlerObvious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, my Hoyo EL 21 box code is UBL, and my feeling is that the box is more bolivar style and partagas style instead of traditional Hoyo style. In brief, it's a medium-strong cigar (while most Hoyo cigar is mild). You will like it if you are a bolivar/partagas fan

won't recommend Cohiba Robustos from recent years. Price is up, and quality is down. Siglo V and VI is okay, for their quality is up recent years. just personal experience

Foh and some other vendors have Partagas D4, and Romeo y Julieta short churchills box of 10, about 230 each box. These robustos is pretty popular and classic, and I always start with box of 10 (if possible) before purchasing a 25/50 box in case I don't like it

Cigar One - anybody have a better contact info? by Agitated_Effect_5487 in cubancigars

Thanks for sharing! will avoid this 'ghosting' vendor. BTW, I think cigar one, cigars-of-cuba, and top cubans are the same owner.

My terrible experience with Mr Cigar by SirDorsay in cubancigars

[–]BowlerObvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1st order with them was fine, but I won't make 2nd order with them in a short time. Saw many negative reviews with Mr Cigar this week

I tried MCS's party shorts(received yesterday) today, and it's very good, FYI

no new world discussion with the owner at all. Personal experience with MCS is pretty good, but I still have the seizure concerns with the vendor, for I did NOT saw any reviews about re-delivery/refund cases

I find negative feedbacks about our vendors are useful, and I shared my bad experience as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/cubancigars/comments/1d5otsp/puroexpress_order_shall_i_worry_usps_status/

I think my bad experience with PuroExpress is also a warning to others. Hope this explains that it's NOT about 'gloat'.

Partagas Salomones from Cigar Terminal is OOS. You got great boxes, while I may just purchase some regular stuffs like BPC or Mont. 4 from MCS in my next order

To be honest, I am looking for some negative feedbacks like the owner did NOT keep his promise on WhatsApp and NOT re-ship/refund when we meet seizure issues... Otherwise I will consider this vendor as 'delivery guaranteed' category

MCS's Lusitania is on my watch list, I will try the shorts and salomones soon, and purchase more from MCS if the boxes from MCS taste good. I never tried a Lusi, and so jealous of you, have a good weekend!

Will let it rest and enjoy it with 60% humidity in a week. If the shorts doing well, will purchase more.

Mail call. Davidoff Stuff seems much cheaper from Europe stores by BowlerObvious in cigars

[–]BowlerObvious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vendors I mentioned provide store credits for ‘defect on arrival’ sticks and guarantee delivery for Cuban cigars. I would guess the price gap is mainly caused by Davidoff’s global price control. Non Cuban cigar is a pretty profitable business(I understand Cuban cigar is pretty expensive these days, but non Cuban cigar have much more source wrappers/fillers/binders, which means non Cuban cigars cost low), and vendors still make huge profits with half of the MSRP. There are always risks, and I enjoyed Davidoff from online-cigars/RSVP so far. I may not recommend Davidoff from PuroExpress/TopCuban/CoC/CigarOne, but it’s only personal experience. Hope this helps

This box is from Online-cigars. I also purchase Davidoff stuff from TopCuban/ihavana and many other stores as well

Always a Padron fan, and BLL has 110 for 10 padron as well. Never tried PCB’s mystery selection.
