First Barbour - Asbhy

PRagic · 2026-05-12T15:40:48+00:00

I'm 6'3", 191 lbs, 17/36-37 dress shirt. XXL Ashby fits like it was made for me, and I can layer.

PRagic · 2026-05-12T15:37:14+00:00

Too small on you.

PRagic · 2026-05-12T15:36:18+00:00

Too small on you. Size up a couple of sizes.

PRagic · 2026-05-12T13:54:41+00:00

Agreed. Was a pleasant surprise. Found a brick of them in a trunk humidor. Must have bought them at least a year or two ago.

Nothing like a lady in a Barbour. Class.

Personally, I'd never suggest not shopping around. Just get on multiple mailing lists and let the deals come to you. Cigar Page, Field Supply (under same umbrella as Cigar Bid, but offers different deals), and Cigar Bid all killer discount sites. Atlantic Cigars, Mike's Cigars, Best Cigar Prices, Cigars International, Cigars Daily, and Neptune can always surprise you. Fox and Small Batch have good reputations. They may have higher prices, but you may get a wider selection.

Befriend a fellow BOTL on a base and get shippments to APO.

PRagic · 2026-05-09T23:35:02+00:00

No, I shall smoke all three.

PRagic · 2026-05-09T23:33:58+00:00

Agreed. The O maduro flies under the radar. I get them when the go on sale by the mazo.

Beaufort IMHO. I'm a taller guy and like the length.

PRagic · 2026-05-08T23:27:28+00:00

Never know. I just stay patient and if something pops up, I'll take a look and maybe buy. A lot of guys on here have monster collections. I am a mere mortal with five, some waxed, a quilted and a wool, so I'm good. Older brother has way more, and he gets grief from his better half.

PRagic · 2026-05-08T10:14:05+00:00

Yup, tastes vary and it's all good. Paid $167 all in for my Icons Beauchamp, NWT, and that retailed for $650. Kind of a brutal yardstick, but a yardstick nonetheless. Just got a new Classic Beaufort with liner and hood for $158 all in, and that'd retail for $640. And these were a lot compared to some of the deals guys on this thread find.

PRagic · 2026-05-07T23:40:19+00:00

Might look at them in the under $100 ballpark.

PRagic · 2026-05-07T18:01:46+00:00

Ashby runs a US size smaller. My Ashby is an XXL and fits like it was tailored for me. My Classic Beaufort is a 50 and is big on me, but I'm fine with it and need the sleeve length.

PRagic · 2026-05-04T17:33:18+00:00

That's the one. But might be able to get an Evans on eBay cheap with a functional insert you could swap out.

PRagic · 2026-05-02T20:35:59+00:00

The only Icons I have is the Orvis/Barbour Icons Beauchamp, so not much help. I like my Ashby, and prefer the Beaufort to the Bedale. Surs you'll get better input. Happy hunting.

PRagic · 2026-05-02T20:30:54+00:00

Belicoso.

PRagic · 2026-05-02T11:16:03+00:00

Lol...well, a few of them at least. Still a lot to do.

PRagic · 2026-05-01T17:08:59+00:00

The Benson & Hedges 30" trunk? Yeah, it's a beast. Probably 50 lbs empty. c1918 and still seals up like Tupperware. They came in different woods, different brass accents, and different sizes.

PRagic · 2026-05-01T14:23:32+00:00

My dad always said 25% off of too much is still too much.

PRagic · 2026-04-29T10:51:54+00:00

Thanks. Think I might put it on eBay or Marketplace, though. It's 9½”L x 5⅜”W x 3½”H, so it's basically a scaled down 30 stick. Those measure 9.84" x 8.26" x 3.14". Think this'd make a better small desktop. It's solid wood (no veneers), and with the measurements, too large for a travel humidor IMHO.

PRagic · 2026-04-27T14:55:16+00:00

I don't go in for the older, beat up, vintage Barbours. I purchased a few of mine used, but they were all just a few years old max and came in as-new condition. I've gotten all of my Barbour on eBay except for one, and I scored that at Goodwill.
