Interesting sticks.

[Good Stick]

So I passed my local Havana House and was offer a box of these with a 2014 date code.
Does anyone know what they are like?

Very nice. I had one a few month ago or maybe last year. They have legs to age for at least a decade. It would make a nice addition to your stash if the price is correct.

Thanks Mike, glad to hear they are of note, would you say they are close to say Talisman ‘17 monetary wise, if say you were to buy from a friend in France- per say? 😉
There are 3 boxes!

Personally I wouldn't pay more than €250 to €300 for a box. In fact I was offered a box last week at €250 and turned it down because I'm reserving my money for Italy. I might go for it if it's still available and if I didn't find any ManTua after my vacation. But knowing UK prices I fear that the boxes are £450 or so a pop and I think that that's brutally overpriced.

If my memory serves me correct these used to be around €150 a box in Spain.

Sounds about right. I think they were €169 in Germany when I bought my singles (wasn't a big box buyer back then).

Excellent advice thanks for the heads up!
I’m working on France for week soon so am having to keep an eye on cigar fundage too!

Those were the days; an LE in a large format for about £10 a stick, and a nice healthy pound.

Nothing of interest available in France right now. You can find the QdO Capitolio and the Senadores (which is extremely overpriced here), maybe some regular sticks that will be cheaper than in the UK but there's nothing coming out of Cuba right now and stock on the more interesting cigars has pretty much dried up.

Ahh I see, good to know.
It might be worth a little wander to some of the tabac shops out in the wilds, see if there’s anything lurking 😊

Try 500 (sponsor, recently up from 450 last week...) to 600 (HH) £ per box.....
