It's got boring now!

Shit service..Name & Shame..Job Done...

all the rest is bo**ux, we don't have any problems from saying how wonderful some of the retailers are (and naming them) so we should be allowed to say if they're crap..it's actually doing Her Maj's tax people a favour if we say "illegitimate sources are crap" & I'm pretty sure nobody will notice one little heads up amongst all the the condemnation we do on non-legit sources.....IMHO..& I'm always right...

Just discussing something illegal in no way incriminates anyone. It's been quite a few decades since authorities in this country started to base prosecution on hard evidence. Discussion of non-UK suppliers may simply be for holiday reasons, or even as gifts for people you know who live out there perhaps. I myself have started a thread asking about suppliers in countries i was to visit on holiday.

Which actually works for my point.

There is no problem with discussing foreign suppliers if the intention is to travel abroad and bring back tobacco products that are within your legal limits. (From the EU this is limited to any amount for personal use, outside the EU this is limited to 50 cigars) I travel a great deal and sometimes post about good shops in different countries.

The problem arises with sharing information about non uk based mail order companies that deliver to the uk. Ordering tobacco products from abroad is perfectly legal as long as you arrange to pay the import duty and all taxes. The onus to do this is on you.

This was a discussion about quality of cigars & service.

As I said a while ago (to some 'interesting' feedback) if this is a discussion about a UK supplier then OK, if not then it's going nowhere.

The relevant rule is Only UK sources, with applicably applied UK tax and duty, of cigars may be discussed.

We now have a difficult situation. There is concern from some about naming the source.

On this basis I am going to close this thread. If anyone want to know who the retailer is/was I suggest they PM Smokinge_2011
