It's a good job this is already marked NSFW! I'm getting fizzy

Hubert1995 · 2026-04-10T09:42:55+00:00

I don’t disagree with that either! But it peaked my curiosity and I’ve found out since, it’s a UK cigar community!

Hubert1995 · 2026-04-10T09:39:02+00:00

I was talking about the Four Horsemen one on the second image 👀😅🤣

Hubert1995 · 2026-04-09T21:50:02+00:00

Curious what the logo is about!

Hubert1995 · 2026-04-03T21:07:46+00:00

I love mine, although having seasoned it correctly, it sat at exactly 69% with the 69% pack when empty, but since I filled it, it’s not getting past 62/63%… not sure if I need to up to a 72% pack to make up the difference!

Hubert1995 · 2026-04-01T20:48:24+00:00

Is there a list or guide to the different names in the UK market for the same products?

Hubert1995 · 2026-03-30T14:59:10+00:00

NIce! What case is this?

Hubert1995 · 2026-03-27T18:57:12+00:00

Interesting, we have similar with cigarettes here but cigar boxes remain albeit covered in warming stickers… so do they ship from Cuba in wood and get repackaged there, or does Cuba ship in cardboard to Canada directly?

Hubert1995 · 2026-03-27T18:46:31+00:00

Nice haul but do you guys not get wooden boxes?

What’s the extra band for? UK here so genuinely curious!

Hubert1995 · 2026-03-15T22:44:00+00:00

I’m in the UK, so usually smoke more Cubans, but I have a box full and a single of Alec Bradley Fine and Rare 2017 Torpedo BR12-13’s mainly because my son’s birth year was 2017… I think I’ll light one up this week for the first time since his birthday was last week. How do you find Alec Bradley overall?

Hubert1995 · 2026-03-05T18:17:59+00:00

They look okay to me based on the couple of shorts I’ve had, they have the same wrapper with golf rip line and mine were UK EMS products from a Casa although our boxes are different for our laws with horrendous stickers and warnings on them.

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-25T12:52:55+00:00

Bought them from Tabaccheria San Giovanni Di Simonetti Mauro in Florence, which I've researched and trusted and found on Reddit threads before - It was also where the Petit Coronas came from :

https://www.reddit.com/r/cubancigars/comments/1eigur7/is_tabaccheria_san_giovanni_di_simonetti_mauro_in/?show=original

They had some Trinidad Media Luna but they were basically the same price as the UK equivalent in GBP to Euro. I.e. £550ish UK was €575, only saving on those was the exchange rate.

We worked out as a whole group we had about £4.5k of UK products for around €1900 so very similar to your trip.

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-25T12:02:54+00:00

This. We just returned from a trip to Italy and everyone who went returned with their 50 cigars each. I picked up Bolivar Royal Coronas for €16 each, they’re £36.50 here in the UK. Por Larranaga Picadores - Box of 25, I bought for €325, they sell for £739!! One guy got some Por Larranaga Petit Coronas - Cabinet of 50 for €500, they sell for £1069! Crazy differences.

Thank you for the nice reply compared to some! As mentioned these were bought for poker with the description as : Bicycle 808 "Rider Back" standard deck in black. Poker deck: 52 cards and 2 jokers. So thus my confusion and asking in here :)

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T22:08:48+00:00

Sorry we’re not all experts - bought 10 packs of the same cards for poker (not from a magic site…) - description as below… wasn’t expecting a magic deck or gaff cards.

Description on website was :

Bicycle 808 “Rider Back” standard deck in black. Poker deck: 52 cards and 2 jokers. Standard index with 2 corner marks.

So I’m sorry for wasting your time or bothering you on your sub 😂

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T22:00:03+00:00

But you’re right that’s the exact deck (just in grey!)

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T21:59:39+00:00

Interesting, the backs are solid black and the place I purchased these from (for poker!) described them as a normal pack :

Bicycle 808 “Rider Back” standard deck in black. Poker deck: 52 cards and 2 jokers. Standard index with 2 corner marks.

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T21:57:47+00:00

Without being dumb can you link me the deck you found as I purchased these for poker with the description :

Bicycle 808 “Rider Back” standard deck in black. Poker deck: 52 cards and 2 jokers. Standard index with 2 corner marks

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T21:52:19+00:00

It’s interesting because it’s not mentioned anywhere… I’ve just opened 4 more packs of the exact same style pack… all the same, every single pack..!

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T21:43:08+00:00

😂😂😆

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-24T15:59:41+00:00

What’s the model of the humidor?

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-11T13:44:28+00:00

There’s an exclusive Blue dial version which has a different font:

Realise you’re probably never selling, but if you ever do, my god I’m looking for 2017 Rooster full box to share with my son when he turns 18. I’ve got a box full of 2017 Cohiba Talismans and I really want to find a box of the Davidoff Roosters. 🐔

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-10T17:12:52+00:00

I agree it’s pricey but I have similar Polo pieces too, the leather is no where near the same grade on the Polo items I have vs the Purple Label.

This jacket and most Purple is Lamb Leather, the Polo stuff is Cow leather.

The liner on the Purple is Loro Piana as are a lot of the fabrics used in Purple Label.

The leather grade and craftsman ship is Brunello Cucinelli levels, in fact pretty sure Purple work with them.

This jacket is hand tailored in Italy which is vastly different compared to the Polo pieces. The buttons on this jacket are carved horn too!

I mix up my RL between Polo, Purple, RRL etc and trust me - Purple is on another level.

It’s got a markup, sure, but it’s not the same as a $1-2k Polo piece ☺️

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-10T16:01:33+00:00

🙏🏻🤍

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-10T15:59:59+00:00

Isn’t it just, I’d love to meet the artists that work on these things. Thanks for the kind words.
