So a little while back, I posted that I was having my second Hammer + Sickle (Tradicion Serie) and I really liked it. I've been trending to more mild cigars right now (seems to go in cycles for me), so I decided to pick up a box. I was greeted with some of the most insane packaging I have ever seen for a cigar.
It started off simple enough, a nice outer box, with a magnetic closure. Pretty cool.

Upon opening the box, this is what you see:
A glass crystal box, nicely enveloped by some satin type soft material...

This box is nuts.

Very cool packaging.
I even got a free heavy crystal ashtray with the purchase:

All in all, a very cool purchasing experience. The first two of these I smoked previously I really liked, so looking forward to seeing how these are with some time on them (this Churchill recently got a 93 in Cigar Aficionado for what that's worth).
