[madmak]

Acquired myself a Romeo y Julieta Churchills Tubed ...
Question is.. Do i smoke it straight from the tube or put it in my humidor to rest for a while?
The suspense is killing me but i,me happy to do it right with guidance from you guys...
Oh!! If i,me paying 16 GB pounds (approx 31 US dollars) for the privilege how much are the British government putting in their pockets?

Thanks in advance

OUCH!!!!

I've had some tubos that were hermetically sealed and ready to smoke (Gurhkas and RP's) but I have had others that actually had a vent in the tube. If you got them at a retail humidor it shouldn't matter. Someone else might have a better suggestion.

As long as your purchasing from a Habanos direct retailer..........you can smoke it out of the tube. Though if you have the time and patience, let the cigar sit.
Its a great cigar...... your going to love it!
As for the British government? They are getting alot of money. The retail on that cigar is about $17-19 US. So your local and tobacco taxes are about $12-14 US on that stick.

Thanks guys..
Sound advice.. Think i,ll be patient and put this smoke to rest for awhile... You reminded me of the Gurkha brand that i,ve heard mentioned on this forum quite a bit(Nepalese warrior) caught my attention.. (On my shopping list) Ha ha!! As for the tax in the UK... Man!! We get pure robbed for sure out here..
Good excuse to travel more and hit the duty free shops... Come on!!!

Life is good...
