marzman Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I wouldn't consider myself a smoker, but i've always had the odd cigar when the mood takes me. I'm on a bit of a journey trying to try as many brands as possible. The best i've found to date (which was a gift from the USA) has been a Gurkha Beast! I recently got my own humidor and have got a few choice cigars in there at the moment. I've just had a Dunhill Aged this evening, with a glass of Port* (*several glasses) Whilst i'm very much an amateur on the scene, my brother is trying to make a career out of cigars! He's been a big fan for a long time, and he's in the process of opening up a website for cigar sales. I've helped him out a little with the site, but his long term goal is to be able to quit work and open up a cigar shop! If anybody is a fan, please take a look. It's still a work in progress, but he is open for business. http://www.mcdonaldcigars.co.uk/ Quote
Jp606 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Yes I've got a humidor with around 100 Cubans in. I smoke cigarillos daily (Montecristo or Romeo y Julieta) and larger vitolas at weekends/special occasions. I am vaping at the moment to try and cut down the amount I smoke. Been into them since trying one in Cuba years ago. Website looks good, but prices are fairly high. He will struggle to compete with big people like Cgars. I assume he only offers EMS cigars? There is quite a shortage of B&M cigar shops around England though, he may be onto a winner if he opens one in the right area. Edit - actually just noticed it's free postage on everything, so does make it more competitive. Edited May 9, 2015 by Jp606 Quote
zzzzz Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Jose L Piedra for me, can be found around Europe for about £1 each, excellent value for money. Can he get hold of them ? If he could and sold them at a reasonable price I'd become a customer. Quote

Free postage on everything - i know his initial strategy is to beat competitors on price so hopefully the combined effect is that he's cheaper overall! Quote
