Love the presentation. All that tobacco just cradling the tasty morsels makes me a little week in the knees. You guys can have all your fancy lacquered boxes I want all my cigars to come to me like this!
Enjoy them eggy :rock:

What an excellent birthday gift. I'd be happy for all of mine to be late if they were anything like that.
As the others have said, I do like the presentation.

Well im really impressed with the choice given my old mates not a cigar smoker, ive done a nughty thing though i went on there web site and those 5 sticks cost 5c less than $60US thats a huge amount of money, but what a gift. In the last 6 months thats the second gift thats come from the US from a non cigar smoker and the other pack also came boxed and packaged in loose leaf cuttings. I assume that these are the off cuts from when there rolling and what a good way of cutting down on waste, the loose leaf in this packet is still soft and plyable, pity theres not a whole leaf otherwise id have a go at rolling one with the contents haha :biggrin1:

Ive got one, ive tried using a pipe for the ends and for the loose leaf from other packages, its just not the same, i guess part of the thrill of the cigar is the circular feeling when you enter the cigar in the mouth and teeth.. the pipe on the other hand was a waste of money, but worth the gamble to cut down on waste :eek:

Cool pressie Eggy. Surely theres a big enough leaf to roll yourself a short fat one or even a couple of quality minis.
