Cigar consignment, or sell outright?
Consigning cigars means someone else sells them for you and takes a cut, and you are paid only when they sell. Selling outright means one price, agreed up front, for the whole lot. Here is how the two compare, and how to get an outright offer from us.
Our best price, first
We make our strongest offer up front, valued box by box against today’s market and explained plainly. No low opening bid, no haggling. Accept it and you’re paid, with no waiting on resales or consignment.
Complete discretion
Your enquiry goes only to Leander and stays between you and him. Valuation, collection and payment are arranged quietly, on your terms.
Your privacy protected
We never share, publish or sell your name, contact details or what you own. Your photos are used only to value your cigars, and nothing we show later identifies you.
Consignment vs selling outright
Consignment can suit a few very sought-after boxes. For a whole collection, shop stock or an estate, a single outright sale is usually simpler and faster.
Consignment: paid when it sells
A shop or auction lists your cigars and takes a commission. Payment comes after each sale, and unsold boxes come back to you.
Outright: paid for the lot
We make one offer for the whole collection or the boxes we want. Once agreed, payment is settled before anything moves.
No commission or fees
There is nothing to deduct from our offer: no commission, listing, photography or storage fees.
Our best price, first
We give you our strongest offer the first time, with discretion and privacy throughout.
What to send us
The more of this you can share, the clearer our answer. A rough start is fine.
Photos
The collection as a whole, each box front, and the bottoms where the codes are stamped.
A list
Brand, vitola and number of boxes, sealed or opened.
Storage
How and where the cigars have been kept, and for how long.
Where they are
The country the cigars are in.
We don’t buy every collection, and we won’t name a price before we’ve reviewed the cigars. Purchases depend on authenticity, condition, provenance, your authority to sell, and the rules that apply where the cigars are.
How it works
Three steps, and no obligation at any point.
Submit the details
Use our form or WhatsApp to send the list, photos and storage details.
We review the inventory
Authenticity, packaging, condition, provenance and whether it fits what we buy.
We discuss a purchase
If it qualifies, you get one clear offer with the terms, the handover and payment in cash.
Questions sellers ask
What does cigar consignment mean?
You hand your cigars to a shop or auction house, which sells them for you and keeps a commission. You keep ownership until they sell, and you are paid after the sale.
Is consignment better than selling outright?
Consignment can get a higher headline price for a few rare, much-wanted boxes, but you wait, pay commission and may get unsold boxes back. For a whole collection, an outright sale is usually faster and certain.
Can I get an outright offer before I decide?
Yes. Send photos and a list and we make one clear offer, free and with no obligation. Then compare it with what consignment would leave you after fees.
Do you buy in the USA or Canada?
No. We do not buy or sell in the USA or Canada.
