calavera --- slightly cheaper than a lot of the production smokes?
In London, expect to pay $478.85 per box for the Partagas Serie D No. 3 Limited Edition Maduro, and $393.50 for the Romeo y Julieta Robusto Limited Edition Maduros ...
If you decide to mail them home, I would have your friend put them in a domestic cigar box, and put the bands in his wallet ... it's a fairly big risk and that is the only safe way to do it!
NEVER just bring them home on the airplane in their original box. With the security issues going on now ... they swab the inside of every piece of luggage (even bags checked-in) for explosive residue ... you know they will be found.
Email me at slimboli(at)yahoo(dot)com and I will send you an internet site in London that carries every brand (and rates them too), and it will give you the prices you should expect to pay ... if you are willing to take the risk.
