No Change. US Shipments suspended as International Couriers cease shipping to USA. This could take a month to sort out so hold tight US brethren 😉

UK/EU/Canada/Middle East and Asian members…make hay while the sun shines!

This weekend couldn’t come fast enough image.png

I feel for US members in relation to the cessation of small parcel global shipping until there is a global rollout of a plan to handle the new Tariffs for small parcels coming into the US that starts August 29.  Information is that the rollout to all countries could take 7 days or 7 weeks. Let’s wait and see how things play out and I will keep US brethren informed. They are only cigars people! image.png 

Members from the rest of the world have stepped up to the plate! From London to Lanzhou members are stocking up. Well done good people!

In the meantime, a huge thank you from our Fabrica 5 team in Danli Honduras after what has been a record month. Fab5 is a small team, 17 strong, that believe in what we are building. There have been some great photos this week that you can find here.

This cigar was blended by the great Hamlet Paredes with one goal in mind—to go toe-to-toe with his all-time favourite cigar: the Partagás Lusitania. For me, the vision was clear: I wanted to bring back the glory of the classic 50-cabinet presentation, the kind that defined the elegance of Cuban cigars not so long ago.

Normally (outside of the week before Christmas), the process for orders placed each week from the 24/24 sales is as follows, the stock is ordered from the warehouse the following Monday and once received shipping will commence that week. All clients will be notified by the logistics department when their order has been shipped and tracking details will be provided. If per chance there are delays with shipping we ask clients please to bear in mind our staff in logistics are doing their best to ship all orders placed the previous as swiftly as they can.

If you order on a Saturday/Sunday there may be a few days extra delay (as it falls into the following weeks cycle). Similarly,  if you order on a Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri then they go out the following week 99% of the time. Public holidays can occasionally throw a spanner in the works. 

If you have multiple orders,  then they will be scheduled but the team will correspond with you. 

 Do not contact Diana unless there has been a significant delay outside of the above.  

·   This selection will be up for 24 hours. First in first served as quantities are limited.
