Count me in too!

DW Daytona for me

Fantastic Ubi, they look great!

I'm in for 2.

Markus, 20mm.

You might look at these as well, I picked up a black/red version recently, it's made just like the burly Zulu straps.

I've got a 'noobmariner' on the way and want to pick up a NATO strap, what size do I need to get? 18mm?, 20mm?

I've always been partial to NATO straps, I find nothing more comfortable. The heavier Zulu straps are nice too and bombproof. They come in all sorts of colors, but black is a classic.

I always get mine from west coast time

Here's a NATO on my gen snowflake sub. I tend to wear the NATO straps more than a bracelet, but that's just me.

Ditto! great communication, nice items, received my strap in about a week.

Now I just can't wait to put their strap on my Davidsen 6152 when it arrives.

Michael Young has quality items, pretty sure they fit 1570 Cal.

This is the info I was looking for

I have been looking online but I do not know the names of any reputable retailers and was wondering specifically which websites members have had luck with.

Glad that helped

#2's are one of my favorites as well! BTW, pricing might be the best at Sautters and they're nice chaps to deal with too.

Seriously though, how do I get a box of cuban Montecristo #2s to my door in the US?

Linder,

The best Cuban selection and quality are in London or Geneva. Alextor mentioned in a earlier post that tobacconists will ship to the US, even your big retailers; Dunhill, Davidoff & Desmond Sautters (London), but sans the bands and Cuban box. They generally mail the bands separately to you in a envelope. You can call them up ask what they have in stock and they don't even pause when you say ship to the US. It's certainly not as cool of course as getting them like the rest of the world does, but sure as hell safer if you really want them. And expect to pay a premium.

Something to keep in mind is that most Cubans need aging regardless of brand, the tobacco is just too young and don't particularly smoke that well. A few years socked away in a humidor really makes a difference -patience I don't possess!

I used to buy from a London source with bands on and in the original box, until I had a box seized by customs, Romeo & Julieta Churchills no less -guess I was lucky that was all that happened after reading the CA article.

With that said, I agree with the other posters about Dominican, there are plenty of quality and tasty ones out there to choose from.

Good luck in your quest.

I don't post that much here, but do a lot of research. I sure as hell have learned to use a lot more of my camera with all the how to's here though.

A little chocolate 089 on a Don's strap today.

TwoTone,

If you want a NOS one try this seller, they might be able to hook you up with just the insert.
