I am a sucker for presentation and these cigars are packed in a crystal box (looks damn sexy in the photos)...apparently Hammer and Sickle is a vodka and now they are branching into cigars...has anyone tried one? I am curious.

I would like to know this as well. Subscribing to this thread for more info.

Hammer and Sickle just interests you because you are a commie!

Just thought I would post a pic to give everyone an idea what they look like:

The description is:

Hammer & Sickle Cigars - Smooth and Creamy Super Premium wrapper leaf perfectly aged 5 years. Dominican Republic binder and filler. Handmade in Santiago Dominican Republic... The Hammer & Sickle Cigars comes in a crystal glass box, very sharp looking and most definitely a conversation piece.

The box looks cool and the cigars sound interesting. It looks like they average out to about $8.50 a stick for a box...

Is it crystal or plastic?
[Reply]

Says Crystal but I bet plastic...
[Reply]

Interesting idea. Anyone try these?
[Reply]

Supposedly glass.


Funny, everyone seems to be talking about the packaging on these other sites, never about the cigars. This kind of screams "Stay Away!" to me.

I've only seen a deal for the box and matching ashtray for 138.

If I had to guess, the box is made of glass as is the ashtray. No idea on the quality of the cigars though.

It is glass, The cigar is made by a company that everybody knows and is a a medium body cigar at most but with some good creamy flavors. The quality is extremely high and personally I would pick this over an ashton cabinet anyday. If I have time I'll put a review up sometime this week or next week. Overall its a very good stick. Oh yea and the box is made of glass.

In Soviet Russia, cigar smokes you.

I have had one and it was a very mild cigar. Nothing that made me want to buy another. I have friends though who love them.

Why would a Hammer and Sickle cigars come without a hammer to break the box open and requisite sickle as cutter for the cigars is beyond me, someone in their marketing department seriously screwed up and must be fired.
[Reply]

Looks like marketing grad brain child...you know nice, sexy and mild for the Paris Hilton crowd as they party in their VIP section at the Palms.

Never had one, but just saying...

When soemone goes to those lengths with packaging, often it is to hide a mediocre product. Case in point, Crystal Skull Vodka. I make no judgement on these cigars though, as I have never seen nor tried one.
