Yes mate, it is worth having a look in Tik Tok's. He has put together a nice selection of CC and NC.
He does put a bit on his prices compared to the online retailers, but that can only be expected
from a small outlet.Comment

Yes, i did buy a Vegas Robaina a few months back, it was v nice.
Do you have many sticks at your disposal atm or is it a buy one, smoke one policy for the moment

I'm a complete newbie.
My humi was just seasoned in the last week or two so I am just starting to put together a broad range of singles at the moment.Comment

Beginnings!

Now, some of my puro colleagues my disagree with the latter part of the above statement, but my experience is that nothing much good comes from puros younger than a year.

I have to be honest TJ, at first I did forget to look at what year I was buying.
I do get a bit like 'the kid in the candy shop' when I walk in there. Everything just goes out of my mind.
I will try to remember whenever I go in there.
Can you actually do the same when ordering from cgars etc? I see no option when adding items to the basket.
Do I need to email first and ask for age of stock that I am considering a purchase of?Comment

We all do that!

"Kid in a Candy Shop!" I like that description!.
No worries, mate. We all do this at times. My prescription for this condition is - be cool, act like you been there before and remember, we're the faces (sorry, line for Saturday Night Fever)!
Take a breath, look around, ask if you may pick up the box and look at the date; ask if the puros are original to the box. We all get a wee bit excited when we are surrounded by fine puros, but follow my simple steps and you'll be fine.
Ordering puros is another matter. Of course, when you walk into a UK B&M you can always check the date for yourself, following my the simple step I prescribed above. But, ordering on-line from a UK vendor can be a bit tricky, I suppose. Now, when I ordering on-line, I always request the box dates of those puros I'm interested in and only buy from those willing to provide that information. But I do my due diligence before hand, so if I find a box date to my liking I can order immediately and increase my chances of getting that box date. But there are no guarantees, however, which is why most vendors no longer provide box date information. Pity, really.
Man! This post has WAY TOO MANY words! I need to go lie down and prepare for my herf later this afternoon with an old chum

Also, buying singles means you can never be sure what year it is, despite what you are told via email or
over the telephone. I assume the only way to be absolutely sure is to box buy?Comment

Good advice from TJ. I discovered that JJ Fox bring up stock and just put it into the box already on the shelf.'Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'Comment

So the best way is to buy and store yourself PJ?
At least this way you guarantee age when you finally smoke them.Comment
