@kw what is the going rate now a days about $780?

I feel like it's sacrilegious to ask in this thread, but is Alden's cigar similar in color to AE's brown shell? I'm trying to decide between cigar and ravello and I've got an AE MacNeil being made in brown shell currently, so I don't want a redundancy in color if they are similar.

I was only quoted $350 down, not sure if thats 50% or if more than 50% is collected upon arrival

Edit:I was told the price is $750

Adam's email told me $350 upfront and $750 total.

Maybe a total beginner question, but what is the LWB last?

 

[lemmy127]

Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's a Barrie.

 

[thebeebs]

^ yes, Barrie last. Size down 1/2 size from TTS.

Aren't most cigar LWBs paired with an edge like that?

Any news on what sole/edge the Ravello might be on?

 

[sacafotos]

FYI gents, if you're looking for a good comparison photo of the two shells:

Ravello looks superb. They all do.

I can't decide if I like that "mid tan" edging.

I want a cigar LWB but I think I would like a bit less contrast with the upper. The run that people just got not long ago looks better to me... I think...
