Who is actually putting the price on the head of these cigars because I've heard different stories concerning the uk.

On CGars alone, they have almost doubled in price since being launched. I seem to remember them being offered for sale for around ?600 there initially. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. I guess it's just supply and demand when all is said and done.

I heard one supplier puts the price up to stupid money the rest jump on the band wagon.

No prizes for guessing which supplier either. Fixed prices would be better like in most of Europe.

[TonyN]

Yes Shaun no need to guess which supplier is hiking the prices up .

[Moley]

A fixed price would be a great idea but not for the poor taxman lol. Unfortunately theres enough people who cam afford these prices so no chance for the likes of joe public of that ever happening.

[TonyN]

Totally agree with what you said moley.

Emphasis on the holey...

Side note - i thought all Cubans are frozen for international shipping?

Either someone will have forgotten to pres a button (the one that said 'freeze') or perhaps it's a fake

They do, or at least they say they do. This probably happened in Cuba before freezing, if it hatched inside the box there would be many more holes.

clearly this isn't the case..."The cigars have also passed an additional UK quality check (every box is opened and each cigar individually inspected) and all UK Duties have been paid and correct UK health warnings applied."

Does anyone really believe they inspect every single cigar?

No...but the fact they advertise they do is false advertising...should take them to ECJ lol

Obviously not! No idea which shop. Was said to be a small tabacconist that closed down after xmas and this was their remaining stock.

As for Habanos freezing...

"Since 2005 all Habanos have been frozen at the warehouse in Havana before the are release to the market, so this problem is rarer than it once was." Ref. http://www.habanos.com/en/el-mundo-d...r-sus-habanos/
