Partagas Culebras

[Goddard]

Hi there, I am looking to buy some Partagas Culebras. I was looking at them on the web however I thought they seemed a bit cheap for a box of three (9 cigars) What do you guys think? I don't really want all three anyway but if they are this cheap I might as well go for it.

Your opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated, also if anybody has any single coffins of three cigars please let me know

Thanks

Oliver

Well if you don't want all three I'll chip in? I've been looking at trying these myself.

[Jimmeh]

I wanted one of these but didnt want to buy all 3 of them - i am quite happy to take one of your hands?

[Goddard]

Hi, I would be happy to do a box split with you guys, however beeing new I have never done this and have never ordered from abroad ect. Please could one of you maybe take over with the ordering arrangements? And I will send you the money?

Thanks

[daverave999]

If you can wait a few days until I get paid...

[Goddard]

Sure thing Dave, please let me know when you can order them.

Cheers :smile:

[daverave999]

Sent you both a PM.

[Goddard]

Got it! Where are you ordering them from?

thanks

[daverave999]

Much as I dislike them for my one and only experience with them, I went with them as they seemed the cheapest and I could order just the Culebras. Everywhere else was at least 10 Euro more. Perhaps they can redeem themselves by getting this one right. :cool:

I certainly hope they get it right this time, what happened the last time you ordered from them?

[daverave999]

They put 57 on the Customs form when I'd only spent 20, then claimed that the Customs themselves put the value on. Absolute bollocks, but I'm not going to cut my nose off to spite my face if they have the cheapest price...

[daverave999]

Shipped today chaps.

[EDIT] From them, not from me!

[Jimmeh]

woop woop.

[Jimmeh]

just ordered a box of 10 Romeo Dukes- lets hope they get it right.

[Goddard]

Looking forward to receiving mine!

[daverave999]

I've been told there's a package arrived, so I'm assuming they're here already guys! Will PM later if it's the Culebras.

[Jimmeh]

good man!

[Goddard]

Wow, speedy delivery! :smile:

[daverave999]

Yep, it's them! Box code is OPM FEB 09. More details later. ;)

Oo. I look forward to it? It's the one in the coffin yes?

[daverave999]

Yup!

[Goddard]

Can't wait to get mine! I hope everything went smoothly?

[daverave999]

Yeah, apart from the twats writing a value of 51 on it this time. Really, what IS wrong with them?

[Goddard]

Got your pm! Please let me know which email address to send payment to. £51.00 :mad: some people! Just saw the pics, they look good!!!! Please can you check mine before you send it out.

Cheers

[Goddard]

Payment sent! :smile:

Cheers Dave

Excellent video Nic!

[nicwing]

It's a doozie isn't it. She is back in the UK shortly and will be around Sautter/Dunhill later in November. May ask her to roll me one of she has 9 1/2 minutes to spare!

[Jimmeh]

She is in the UK at the moment- i have met her several times now - she rolled my a rather large torpedo/pyramid - can anybody define the difference? i did see it somewhere but i cant seem to find it?

Nice T.

The last one looks a little like one of those first world war condoms which had to be washed out and passed through the regiment, you remember.

He isnt that old that he would remember is he?

Any who - i dont think that chart is right - a) look at a p2 or a partagas pyramid - its not that shape, and b) a lot of places say that a torpedo is closed at both ends - that was the confusion.
I think there is a lot of confusion because Non cuban brands are a rule unto themselves and there doesnt seem to be that much standardisation of sizes etc - whereas Cuba has set standards. The site that i found that image on refers to the "toro" size - which is doesnt exist in cuba.

that video freaking rocks!

It actually took her about 20 minutes, in the video there is only the first of the 3 cigars that she rolled for it :smile:

[Goddard]

They have arrived! :smile: Thanks very much Dave. cool video nicwing (http://www.ukcigarforums.com/member.php?u=81), thanks for posting it.

Excellent! I was a bit gutted to split the box I must admit. So are people intending to try them straight away or leave 'em for ages?

I am intending to age mine for a bit. Not ages though!

[daverave999]

Haha OK! The wrapper on one of mine was slightly damaged by the knot on the top ribbon so I was going to smoke it, and then leave the others for a few months to see the difference. I love the coffin! Like an old pencil box.

[tippexx]

Blimey! .... looks more like an ingrediant outta Master Chef than a cigar! You blokes really gonna smoke 'em?
