I get the mail today and there is a small package from Bolivia and a customs form that says "Mini Hammer". WTF? Mini hammer? I am not in the habit of ordering hammers at all, let alone mini ones. This immediately goes to the letter I got from my bank Saturday that my debit card was on a list of compromised card numbers. Again, WTF? So I open it up, and find this. I have no idea what to do with it, but it's kind of cool. Very nice of them to send something. Is this a thing if you order from them? https://imgur.com/gallery/2ogCqx5 It looks good on the bar/humidor shelf. Gotta love knickknacks. |

They send cigar related items to those who have purchased during the year. Think I have about a dozen ash trays. pens, hats, cigar holders, etc from them.
The hammer is used to open boxes. |

The hammer is used to open boxes. I wondered if that were the case. Thank you. |

looks like Ravi forgot me this year...admittedly I didn't spend much this year. |

They'll even send stuff out if you haven't ordered in the past year.
I went a year or maybe two without ordering from them and still got stuff.
I think I got a little cigar stand from them this summer. My favorite is the yellow cohiba branded one cigar ashtray from a couple years back.

if you unscrew the little stand, there's a cigar punch in it...not a Punch cigar though. |

I went out to the camper to see, cause I'd just tossed it in there to use when the picnic table is covered in dew, and it worked great for that. Had NO IDEA it had a punch in there. Wouldn't have ever inspected it closely enough to find that out either. Thanks |

Their cigars are 100% legit. My packages haven't been coming from HK of late. Most coming from Hungary this year. |

That little hammer is often called a "Pimp Hammer" LOL.
As for Ravi, I've bought a few times over the last year, and yes, a couple of the orders came from Europe. I noticed that they are listing two addresses now and one is in Switzerland. I just received some Vintage and made the mistake of asking for sealed boxes. The Vegueros were in those damn paperboard 5X5's and were covered with mold, but it's not worth sending them back. Lesson learned.
One portion of the order came from HK, the other from Europe. I have no doubt that they have likely taken over another distributor and their warehouse was/is in the Swiss territory.
As a side note, NEVER order from Solocigars, they are counterfeit and out of Panama. |

1. COH is 100% legit. It is an authorized vendor per Habanos, S.A. website. 2. COH has a 100% legit partner from Australia (if you know who I mean) who also ships from the same Switzerland address/warehouse. |

I bought from them before but didn't get no free stuff. This is discrimination against the Polish/Irish/German community |
