24:24 WEDNESDAY

[WarriorPrincess]

There is a good thread going on regarding Why Wine Disappears and Cigars Accumulate

You will also find a poll on the average member purchasing behaviour be it online or in a B&M. 

I will reach out and get some data over the coming days from leading B&M's around the world as to the average number of cigars purchased per client. Average dollar spend is a little more difficult given the variation in country taxes. 

This study (let's call it that) 😂 will be one of several that seeks to peel the onion on the cigar  purchase and ageing  habits of cigar lovers globally.

......I have a lot of time on my hands 😉

Have a cracking day!!!!

They are consistent at the best of times.

On the palate, Shortbread dipped in strong coffee with elements of stone-fruit on the fringes. It is an lovely mix of depth/complexity

Smoke is viscous (thick) and the flavours dip and climb providing a first class Cuban tobacco journey.

What I love about Connie A is that it is full flavoured. It is complex. It is medium full in body.  However this classy cigar never gets out of shape…there are no edges.

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.
