[Pantomimehorse]

some nice sticks there mate, and some mystery ones (to me) hope you enjoy them

[Lionhound]

Go for it Eggy. Must admit to never having heard of most of them. Interesting to hear your thoughts as you go through them.
Know from previous posts that you're not one with the patience for ageing your haul, so assume we'll hear how they are smoking fairly soon.
Enjoy them all.

Interested to hear your thoughts on them after you light up...

Well done Eggy .... looks like the 40 quid for the ferry was well spent!

[G-man]

[satch]

[rollzst]

Nice haul there mate, i also haven't heard of some of those cigars you bought. Im not suprised to see d4's as i know your a fan of those!

[eggopp]

And now even more sticks in my Humidor and Tuppadore... I just love restocking.. :cowboyic9:

Nice eggy!

Did you have to travel far into the barren lands to discover these wonderous sticks of love?

[eggopp]

Yep. just drive into a french town and get out the car and walk about... Go into every tabac you find... Best type of shopping ever!!

[rollzst]

all you got to do now eggopp is get them puros smoked! :cowboyic9:

What are the prices like in France at the moment? They were pretty high a few years ago when I was there....not that much cheaper than here...

[eggopp]

Depends what your after Stevie i find some to be just as expensive and others not so. For example a box of romeo y julieta no2's are 130 Euros in uk there about £220 so it pays to have a rough idea of the prices of particular brands to make it worth while. In one particular tabac i bought 5 RyJ number 2's, 5X No3's 5 X No1's, 6X Partagas D4's and 5 Pleade Coronas and i paid 130 Euros. That, at yesterdays exchange rate was about £110... Then i looked else where for others.

Some good prices there buddy...they seem a fair bit cheaper than when I was there in 2004! I paid £175 for the brand new Partagas P2s...still waaaaay cheaper than the UK but still pretty pricey....great smokes too, sadly long since smoked :41:

[saggel]

Nice prices there bro... well done! I think we should orginize day trips to France!
