This guy has some discontinued lonsdales amount other things. Too rich for me as I really wanted some of the dippys as I've only smoked one dippy before. But he has a host of other things too. Jealous of the person who snaps up his collection.

Compared to the prices I?ve seen on MeWe he?s asking quite a lot for the ones which are easily available now. I don?t know anything about the vintage selection he has so can?t comment but they?re above what I?d pay at the moment as well.

he's clearly pricing at cgars minus x% these are not 'deal' prices these are UK domestic prices... these are off the pace for folk with social skills, staying power and sufficient interest in a forum. I suspect someone will buy them.

My main concern is validity... gumtree is good for selling 'stuff'. it strikes me that these are being sold on there to access an audience who think UK retail minus a bit is a good deal

BUT the supremos price is pretty decent. in fact, substantially undercooked.... which makes me wonder .... but I am a self-confessed cynic.

Never buy on gumtree unless you are collecting.

[Alexw33]

I’m tempted by the supremos too. Bit worried about whether they are real though.

[mcdee]

Me too. Tempted by the Robustos Supremos and Piramides but I think I'll take Shaun's good advice.

PayPal protection if you pay through that should leave you pretty secure if they?re fakes

But I?d want to see his storage and probably feel them before trusting any money to him

No protection buying tobacco with PayPal. They actually prohibit tobacco sales hence why everyone says not to mention tobacco.

Well then I definitely wouldn?t buy anything off him not in person!

Aside from the band (which could be genuine) how can you tell a fake cigar? Of course if it looks imperfect that's a giveaway, but otherwise and if it's the same dimensions as a genuine one are there any other signs?

[PeeJay]

Cigar Aficionado has some good online articles about this if you Google them

Your olfactory senses can sometimes tell you more than your eyes can see.
