mpk Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi guys, Well in September I'm finally tying the knot. I have an old school tradition in the family for a cigar and whiskey before the ceremony (which is not a bad thing).the only problem is I have to buy it. ( the rules apparently). I will go shooting at some point with my grandad and the old man so it's not all bad. I'm looking for a mail order reputable company to buy from as I don't want to lay down any cash without being able to trust on getting the goods. Nothing to expensive maybe £150-200 a bottle. And the cigars the same. I hope someone can help as I don't know of any tobaconists locally. Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caballero Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi Talk to Tanners of Shrewsbury, been going a million years (slight exaggeration)have bought many bottles of excellent wine and spirts from them including a 40 year old brandy for a friends birthday. I believe they do both mail and internet. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Fella Now this is my subject/speciality . Whisky .. We are talking a single for that kind oh money . So do you just need the one bottle or are you making sure it goes round and everybody can havea couple of fills ? As to the cigar side , you need to get yourself on a flight and go to Spain . They have a bit of a thing with Cuba . Myself when i partook with some tobacco product , i loved a Robusto to be fair a Partagas cerie D no. 4 was just the job. !!!! Good luck with the wedding an all that stuff all the best yis yp :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokie Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Google the big green welly shop. They are up in Scotland . You wont get any better choice and they mail order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yorkshire pud one bottle shall be enough as there will only be 6 of us. I had a chat with a friend yesterday who will be on his way to Spain on the 22nd for 6 weeks work and I'm hoping he may be able to aquire some for me at a slightly discounted rate! I mean we could probably have another bottle but the wife to be may hurt me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenix Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 have to say, if it was money I would get maybe 2 x £100 bottles. That way you can cover two styles, one persons great expensive whisky tastes terrible to somebody that likes different style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
