Exceptional Service and Quality!

I've placed multiple orders, and every single one has been delivered promptly and on time. Exceptional care is taken with packaging, ensuring the cigars are well-kept and protected during transport. The quality of the cigars is outstanding, always fresh and well-maintained. Without a doubt, the best online cigar store in South Africa! Highly recommended.

Your service was first class as always thanks.
However the Romeo Y Juliet cigars were a bit hard and dry and difficult to smoke. I took them out of the box and put them in my humidifier and increased the humidity levels for 2 weeks before they recovered sufficiently so I could smoke them comfortably.
It is the second time I have received cigars from you which were still in a sealed box , but were dry.
Maybe check the humidity levels in your storage room ?

Hi Chris, you could have sent us an email letting us know about this so we could verify. Our humidor has several humidity zones and every month we control and check the zones by the humidity in the cigar itself. These zones are meant for aging purposes.
Of course on sealed boxes we dont open but they are in the same areas of other boxes, the only way to verify this would be to physical measure the cigar humidity.
In future just pop us an email so we can see if indeed the cigars are dry.

Great service and good selection of cigars at a fair price and highly efficient dispatch and delivery. Credit card payment has been a challenge and easier to pay be bank transfer. Highly recommended cigar purveyor.
