So, some of you may know I am in london right now. I stopped by JJ Foxx, and they have BBMF sets that Fuentes made for them. 2 Natural 2 Maduro per set. 165 Quid. Is it a good deal, anywhere else to get a better price. If it is a good deal, anyone want some?

I've never heard of this set and wasn't aware that the BBMF Maduro was in anything else other than the Opus 22 set. Maybe someone else can chime in here...
 
Couldn't bring myself to spend 250 $ on 4 cigars I would feel guilty about smoking. IMO -- buy a box of Padron annis for that price in the states
 
For that don't know the UK, you are forgetting the 17.5% VAT on all purchases. I don't know if you can get the VAT free since its not at a Duty Free Shop. Thus, I stand by the near $300 for the set. :p
 
How bad do you want them? Know of anyone else selling 2 sets of 2 all at once? It is steeper than you would probably pay if you hunted them down one at a time but if you want the convenience of not waiting however long it will take to do that.... it really becomes a seller's market.

If you can pick one up for me, that'd be awesome -- I'll pay you back, and a few bonus cigars too as a thanks.
 
I'd do it just for the rarity factor. Especially, if they came in a box made just for JJFox. The price is fair, it's just the exchange rate "pucker" factor you have to get over. Anything you buy in England is going to cost you.
 
Well its been almost a year since I was in Vegas but at the time Casa Fuente was selling BBMF's for $125.00 each at that time (were no mads even out then). So I guess in that kind of crazy top end rare Fuente cigar thinking this set sounds like almost a deal.
 
Ok, so there are quite a few people interested in the set. I will try to bring over 1 or 2 extra, not including the people who pmed me. If you would like a set PM me before morning my time which would be say 8 AM GMT (3AM EST)

I will charge you what ever it will be but I am assuming it will be around:

165 GBP = 250 USD
Tax = 31.25 (there may be tax at 15%, i'm not sure.)
CC Fee (I think 2 or 3%)
Shipping/Paypal whatever.

Edit: BTW I believe the cigars have the 2005 band under them as well, so they are aged.

Prices in England will always have VAT included. In the past, some vendors are able give you a "rebate" form to fill out, hand the form in at the airport, and you get your taxes back. However, when I was there last summer, they don't seem to do this anymore.
 
I ended up getting the sets and having them shipped. I will PM the appropriate people when I see my credit card bill for the charge. But, they said that they could ship more sets to be if i would want.
