Yes Scotty - Some ebay advertisers even suggest possible uses for used cigar boxes - jewellery, etc. One man's rubbish is another man's treasure ! I just keep mine - because I'm a hoarder !!!Originally posted by Puff Scotty View PostComment

It gets odder;
From C.Gars website tonight;
Rocky Patel Sampler?44.49
The same 3 sticks seperately ?41.47
On the face of it this does not seem much, however in the last 4 weeks i have spent over ?1,000 with C.Gars, and am planning to spend the same again in the next 3 months. Hardly breeds confidence does it.Comment

yes I have seen them and at silly prices, I don't want one that much, ill keep trawling the car boots its more fun and you get a bacon butty!

A sampler more than individual sticks is a little bit of a faux pas. Doesn't build customer confidence!
Nice website mr expat by the wayComment

Yes. You can pretty much ask for the box you want and CGars will try to get it for you. I bought a Magicos box a few years back. I don't know if you can ask for a Behike though.Originally posted by Puff Scotty View Post
Simon doesn't charge for boxes. If you ask and he's any spare he'll just use one to pack your order.If you want to, you can.

Whilst not quite on topic I was in the market for a travel humidor recently. I didn't have much time to sort out and found both my smoking shop and cgars sold them.
Item - Xikar x 15 travel humi
Mysmokingshop - ?39
C Gars - ?54
Now clearly some people will pay the asking, nearly 40% more at c gars. Anyway they price matched after some discussion and calls so respect to cgars for that.
BUT still a bit cheeky to charge near 40% more but if you can get away with it why not..
Personally I think UK cigar prices are outrageous as Puff suggests. Luckily have a few friends that travel regularly and pick bits up on there way..Comment

Yes, it is all to easy sometimes to forget how expensive this hobby really is. OK, in fairness to our London shops more expensive Rents and Rates are part of their cost equation .... but there are UK retailers who offer more favourable prices, their websites aren't as efficiently search optimised as those of the bigger players .... so, just takes a little longer to find them!If you want to, you can.

There is absolutely no reason to recommend Cgars above any other UK retailer, they are an advertiser here, no more no less. Retailers are a mixed bunch with pros and cons (as they are in all industries). You should always recommend who you like.
My personal faves (and usual recommendations):
My travel Humidor recommendation, IMHO far better made and better value than the xikar:

Oh shit! Will set a reminder on my phone to get one out tonight!Originally posted by AdamK View PostA very apt subject for me as I have been resisting the urge to buy a jar of P1.
I read that the P1s were only available in the jar. I then saw P1 singles for sale at the above price and put it down to them getting a premium price for that reason.
I'll wait and see what the P1s are like once I receive one from Deano

And btw, Mitch ensured that being advertiser on this site meant we could talk about anyone in the UK. Prices differ across suppliers, I wouldn't read much else in to it, except that tax 'supplements' we have to pay ensure it's expensive where ever you shop here!Comment
