I recently received my first order and understand your feelings of concern! I started feeling much better after viewing the "What's your latest CC purchase?" thread and saw the pictures of the recent

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the Cigars anonymous group admission :) 

Once you pop you can't stop! Many on here are in the same boat, you may come across the Camp W thread soon and end up belonging there at some point.

100% no worries here - 99% of my purchases done here (other 1% would be in Cuba itself!)

I’d appreciate some advice. The Cubans I’ve had have been Monticristo no 2a, Partagas SD#4, Bolivar Belicoso Finos, and Cohiba Robustos. Based on my loving these cigars, what recommendations would you make for further exploration?

After meeting a really good guy, a true cigar aficionado, this site was recommended to me and he swore it was a safe place to buy the real deal. I just placed my first order and am eagerly awaiting a box of Cohiba Robustos. I am extremely excited and extremely nervous. I am confident, but my previous experience left me gun shy. I’d have to stupid to not be. Anyways, just wanted to check in here emoji4.png

Greetings From Alabama USA.

Welcome you’re in a good place. I came back around to cigars about a 8 months ago. Bought two fake boxes and while doing research on legitimate sites found this place. 

I started off with a couple 5-6pks, then went straight to boxes and haven’t looked back. 

Everything I've bought off 24:24 has been spot on as to how Rob has described it. 

Great choice on the COROS, I bought a clearance box and they are awesome. 

If they show up and you have any doubts just end them to me and I’ll ensure the authenticity for you. :cigar:

I would try the Robusto and / or Belicoso Sampler from the shop.

Much Thanks! I do believe you’re correct. I was a cigar smoker from 1998-2003. I owned a bar next door to a nice cigar shop and it became my office. I bought a lot of cigars, but stopped after I closed my bar, but maintained my humidor religiously. I have a everything from Padron Millenniums to OpusX all around 20 yrs old. Three’ish years ago I became a pipe smoker. If my experience with pipe smoking is any type of harbinger of things to come.... I’m in serious trouble. Here’s my collection of pipes and tobacco

I smoked one on my Birthday back in February, first cigar I’d smoked since around 2003. To put it mildly, it was absolutely sublime. Just like that, I was back in.

I love tobacco because I love rituals, something smoking delivers in spades. My other passion has been Astrophotography which has rituals of its own. I sincerely wish I had a passion like chess or running which involved a board or shoes, alas mine all involve big ticket items ☹️

Glad to help. I've got to say the Bolivar PC doesn't really fit in that list  as it's not a Robusto or Pyramid/Belicoso but they are a fantastic cigar and relatively cheap. 

If you haven't tried any smaller cigars you should also give the Por Larranaga PC a try and one of my favorites the H. Upmann Le Hoyo de Depute. 

Also have you been to this website? https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/

Seems you have a soft spdot for Dunhill pipes... :D

Out of interest, that bamboo-shank quarter-bent oval Dublin type there with the nice flame grain, that isn't a Dunhill also, is it? Appears a bit like bearing an Eltang contrast-stain there, at least looking very Danish.

Huge fan of Dunhill. The bamboo is the most expensive pipe I’ve yet to purchase. It’s by one I believe is among the top five carvers alive today, Cornelius maenz. I’m also a huge fan of Michael Parks. I’m doing one commissioned pipe per year with him. Here’s a photo of the first one, a Diplomat with collar made from Mammoth Ivory. Also a photo of his scratching for the one he’s about to begin work one. The current one will also come with a matching tamp and case. He just sent me photos of the case which is spectacular! One can only imagine the pipe which would go in such a case. This one is likely to set me back more than the Mänz did ☹️
