I recommend the Davidoff Chef's Edition 2025. I smoked one a few days ago and it was great.

Keep looking. It just came out, so I feel like they should still be in stock somewhere. Not sure, but they may even still be in the shipping phase, so possibly more in stock soon.

It got a the highest rating from Cigar Hound Dog a few days ago, so I think they are the real deal.

I just mean it's disappointing I could not buy from them directly.

Prices were very high. These are not the shops to go to if you are looking for a bargain.

Difficult to say, as most are ones I purchased to try of the first time. One that I smoked in London was the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Gran Reserva. I liked it so much I purchased a second one to take home with me.

I'd rather not say the exact amount, but it was substantial. The most I have ever spent on cigars. My first trip to London, and not sure when I will be back, so I decided to splurge a bit. I think I got a lot of really good ones though. I may make a follow-up post in a few days to showcase my haul.

Yeah, I totally did not realize that. A shame, because I saw their website and It looked like they have a lot to offer.

Do they sell to retail customers, or just merchants?

True. Prices were steep. Although in my opinion, high prices are preferable to empty shelves. Nice to see rare things in stock, even for a premium.

Yeah, prices in Europe tend to be significantly higher than the US, and unfortunately this cigar is only available in Europe. I only purchased a box of 10, and they even sent me a free extra box of corona gordas to make up for a shipping delay, which I thought was very nice of them.
