Welcome to UKCF bigcigs.

Be warned though, buying cigars and associated bit n bobs is infectious

Hope you enjoy your time here mate.

Where's the honeymoon?

Hey Big Cigs, welcome in and great that you stopped by and dived in so quick, many just wander around in the ether without dropping in to chat.

We are a nice bunch generally, if you exclude the Mexican that is, he has smoked one too many sombrero (if you catch my drift)

Let us know where you are off to on you honeymoon, someone here will be able to advise you on what to buy and where to go for the best deal and to ensure you don't pay a fortune for a box of cow dung wrapped in banana leaves.

welcome to the forum mate.. Dubai you say,hmm , i reckons a few of the fellows on here would gladly recommend Dubai airport, as its suppose to have a cracking cigar shop.

if you are after a box of cheap ones for the not so special occasion try jose l piedra brevas, can't go wrong for the price.

better stuff, try the likes of hoyo epicure no1 or no2, juan lopez no 2, ramon allones specially selected, uppman mag 50's, montecristo no2.

smaller ring cigars - ramon allones small club corona, partagas shorts, san cristobal ,san cristobal el principe, monte no5 or 4

as for the larger stuff like chuchill or double coronas ,someone will obviuosly be along soon and point you in the right direction with these.

Welcome to the forums. I would say have a few sticks in mind when buying some but also just go for some you like the look of too. I find that there are a lot of not so popular cigars that I find to be really good and better than the more popular ones. After a period of time you will develop your own taste and know what you like and don't like.
