Not my intention to jack this thread but I have been wondering about something for quite a while now.
It used to be that sources were not discussed in the open like this. Personally I never understood it because any swinging dick who knows how to use a search engine could figure them out. But when did this change?
I could care less either way personally, but it used to be a big no no.

it changed gradually in my opinion...and its for the better I think...feedback on these vendors is crucial for the consumer...

Years past, I'd get a gift from him in early spring. Due to shipping issues this year, cannot say whether he'll be sending anything.

As much as I bought from him in 2020, I am expecting a medium-size car as a gift this year 😉

I'm glad people share as there are so many fakes and sites are easy to put up. Sharing info between real people helps us and legit vendors. I'm still a newbie in this game, just 10 years in-so I'm glad people shared with me when I was looking as I was very skeptical who is legit or not

FWIW, they seem to be experiencing long shipping delays as well.
My order hasn't moved since Feb 2 and I sprung for the upgraded Priority option. ??? :P

I also made the mistake of paying for "upgraded priority" option which has made no difference.
"Shipped" on 12 February, departed Switzerland on 16 February, disappeared into the abyss after that.

Got my cigars today- Party Luis box for 25 for $490
Packed well, all sealed with Boveda pack. Looks like under 3 weeks from Switzerland
So far the first transaction went great!

That's pretty steep compared to a few others. What made you get those there?
