Hello,
Firstly, congratulations on a highly informative and friendly forum.
Secondly, to introduce myself: Used to smoke cigarettes until two years ago, when I one day walked past an old fashioned tobacconist in the UK. Seeing all the cigars on display kindled memories of having had a few tubed Davidoffs in my late teens. Although smoking cigars in my teens was probably primarily a gimmick, I fondly remembered the full and rich flavour of cigars. So, I walked into the store, bought a mid priced Honduran cigar, and upon smoking realized that I was an ABSOLUTE IDIOT for having smoked cigarettes.
Instead of the dull nicotine delivery of cigarettes
, I realized again that tobacco was a wonderful and deliciously tasting plant. My new found love of tobacco due to cigars also made me take up pipe smoking. Currently, I predominantly smoke cigars, but do like to turn to my pipe on occasion, or whilst waiting for new cigars.
Thirdly, could someone, preferably a UK resident, recommend some reliable online retailers which deliver to the UK. Also, are shipments to the UK intercepted by customs and taxed? If so, then this would make the whole exercise pointless. The taxation levels in the UK are ridiculous, to say the least...
I am very fortunate in that my neighbour is a stewardess who brings me cigars whenever she goes to countries where they are cheap, and I do buy cigars whilst abroad. However, as I manage to smoke about three to four Lonsdales a day, on occasion I still manage to run out. Thus the need for an online retailer. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and best wishes,
