I haven’t really got anything to add as it seems every base has been covered. Just wondering if you’re taking applications for new friends? An incredibly generous present, I just hope he has deep pockets for the rabbit hole this is going to lead him down! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! The SdP are great smokes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mainly PC’s and Robustos for me. If I had more time there would be a lot more Piramides being smoked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve lived in London my entire life, it’s a great city to visit as even after 32 years I feel like there’s always something new to do or see. I’ve smoked at the Corinthia a handful of times, although outside it’s very well covered with heaters, blankets and seats you really sink into so the cold wasn’t much of an issue. However I’d recommend Boisdales above anywhere you’ve mentioned. They have I think 4 venues across London, I’d suggest the one just by Victoria station. There’s a rooftop smoking terrace where you can take your own or buy there but the prices are steep as you’d probably guess. The service is amazing, drinks are very good, they do sell food also but I’ve never eaten there. It gets very lively, no reservations so I’d get there early if that’s when you plan on going. Non cigar related but if you’re looking for food/drinks with a view I’d highly recommend Sushi Samba over any of the choices at the Shard which I assume would be the most obvious choice. There’s also a roof terrace at Sushi Samba but I’m unsure if you’re able to smoke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally I’d sell and reinvest into as much regular production I could get with the proceeds. Depends on your stash though, if you’ve got more than you can see yourself smoking, there’s no need for more so smoke them unless you need the cash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m fortunate enough to travel to Europe a couple of times a year so I very rarely if at all purchase in the UK. Of course FoH has been great as well so very thankful for that. Some Swiss vendors aren’t currently shipping to the UK due to customs issues. Fortunately I only smoke a couple of times a week at most, less in the winter so it’s not an issue now travel is pretty much open to Europe again, just hoping there’s actually some stock left next time I manage to get there.

I think the biggest problem for pricing is going to to be the apparently recent huge demand from the Asian market which is going to keep the demand very high. I think that consumption has gone up during Covid due to working from home or not at all if you were placed on Furlough in the UK coupled with having to stay in or at least not be able to travel meaning people have had more disposable income. Also a box of D4 in the UK is around £600-650 so about $800ish so $300 definitely won’t stop that market [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The chances of me quitting are slim but I’ll definitely be smoking more PC’s and less Robustos and larger formats. It will be interesting to see if the prices come back to a pre Covid level once supply is back to 100% in the next 12-18 months. I’m probably being a bit too hopeful though tbh.
