After an unsuccessful run at the lined LHS, it might be time to give the BB Unlined LHS a try for size...

There's a bit of a backstory on these. The original order was for a pair of Ravello wingtip boots in the same makeup from Alden Madison preordered back in June 2014, but due to problems from the factory properly allocating the Ravello, they ran out of Ravello shells. The factory supplied Cigar as a consolation, and those who wanted to change their orders could change to Cigar versions of the same makeup. I believe these are the first Cigar Wingtips being sent as a result.

That's really cool - please take and post more photos!

Hopefully those work out for you! They look great & even better with that big Horween stamp

Is it the Van last? If not how does it compare? I feel kind of lucky the Van seems to work for me, in suede at least. Slightly tight across my left foot but I know it will break in and loosen up. Love the color 8 LHS from BB too...

I have the same issue - although the other foot at some point I would like to try a 12.5 to see the difference from the 12

if anyone wants to let go of their cigar boots from AOM in 7.5, I am up for buying. perhaps you bought one too many boots recently.

Maiden voyage of my Epaulet Innsbruck LWB, Anonymism socks & JCrew corduroys. Dig the commando sole. Purchased these to get me through the winter until my color 8 LWB with antique edge on commando arrives from Adam, who rocks. I cannot wait for that model to come in, but these will do for now.

The odd thing about this is how the cigar lwb snuck in. After the Ravello fiasco, they allowed people to switch to this cigar boot at a discount. Then, they had a seperate order for cigar lwb. Those arrived months ago. You'd figure these boots should have come first. Just a bit confusing to me.

It was originally a Ravello SWB or the WTB. You were then given the option to switch to a Cigar SWB or WTB. Not really a fiasco and not really a discount - free trees.
