| Post subject: Cigar Ordering |
I am a smoker of cigars but do not want to pay Cuban prices. I used to order from the internet. Does anyone know a good website or a way to get cigars from the internet shipped to china without having to live on the street so I can afford good cigars? Thanks.

I get all mine from CigarOne in Switzerland.
http://www.cigarone.com/
Delivered in a week on average, best price I've found for Cohiba Siglo IV. Reliable and good value. |

They are very smart. They label them as mens gift, value 10 dollars or something like that. So far I have never had any shipment stopped. But I've only order in tens never more.
I've never paid for shipping either. They had a promotion which is still on. Free shipping on orders over 150 dollars and I've never had an order for less than that anyway. |

You just had to add 'legally', didn't you? |

That's because the illegal stuff is available easily in Shanghai. |

Oh finally a thread about cigars
Sorry, but I'm a like a hillbilly when it comes to these sort of luxuries. I hate cigarettes in general, and don't like the smell of cigars until one day, when a sweet apple scent fills the air. I asked my dad the scent, and he pointed at a fat old man smoking a small cigar (and later a big one)
Not sure if it is really a "Cigar", and if it is, I wonder how this is called. I'd like to learn how to smoke one to celebrate my 30th birthday...  |

So a box of 10 is costing you 150 bucks?
Doesn't seem cheap.
I don't get this whole cigar thing. I've been smoking a shitload of cigars the last couple of months and they are all very average. I'd sooner smoke a kretek at about 1% of the price. |

Yes. Cigar smoking is never going to be a cheap hobby and like just about everything else in life, it's not for everyone. |
