edameff Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I need help, I am out of the country and was in an authorized dealer who had purchased 2 of the Partagas 150 Humidors in 1995. He has been selling the singles through the years and now has 5 Londsdales in good condition and one Robusto with a crack in the wrapper near the head. He is asking $100 per stick, what do you think, is this worth it due to the rarity. Also he has a Cohiba Millennium Jar for $300. What is the conscientious, I have to act by tomorrow because we are leaving. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortsqueeze Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 There was no Lonsdale in the 150 humidor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dochowl Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I am guessing he is looking at the Coronas Grandes... it is a little over 6" by 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edameff Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 That is correct is was the Coronas Grandes, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I have no idea, but hope someone else can help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobLobLaw Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I am with Reg and also have no idea. However, based on the fact that you thought it was worth posting means you are tempted. On that alone I would say get one because you will probably appreciate it and if you don't may regret it. Or just come up with a total package price and make an offer.

strayvector Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Are you sure he's legit? $300 for a Cohiba Millenium Jar? Seems too good to be true...unless it's for the empty jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnutbutrsangwich Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The price on the 150s is very good if they've been stored properly and are in good condition. Beyond the fact that they're rare, they're now 15 years old as well! $100/stick is actually below market. That said, I'd be wary about anyone selling a jar of Cohiba Millenium Piramides for $300 unless that's a typo and meant to be $1,300... which is actually still a bit below market...

lemmycaution Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah, I don't know either. I think the millennium jars go for about $1200-$1500, so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edameff Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 I should have clarified, the Millennium Jar is EMPTY...sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mash Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Are you considering buying an empty jar for $300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 For $100 a stick, I would take the risk if the cigars look properly cared for. At least pick up 1 or 2, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcse Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I would have bought the cigars and left the jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 *The entire thing smells of fakery to me. Unless you can talk him way, WAY down, I'd tell 'em no thank you. Good luck in other sales. You'd be amazed at how great a bargaining chip telling a vender "No" can be in as far as getting the price down, down if it looked like you were seriously considering a purchase. If he sees things your way pricewise, it will be a nice conversation piece for your friends back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purosdave Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Tell me what country you are in and I will tell you if I feel comfortable even discussing cigars of that magnitude. If I was skeptical, yet curious, I would drop $100 on the counter and light-up. If it blew my doors off then I would be ready to buy the rest. More than likely walking away having paid way too much for an average cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMP Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Be interested to know what you chose at the end there I'd much rather have had 3 of the corona grandes than the jar myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidmase Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'd pass on the jar.... Put that money towards a box or some awesome sticks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You can't smoke the jar...and even if you figured out a way to do it, i can't imagine it would tast very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edameff Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well, Thanks for the advice, I splurged and bought the Partagas 150's and passed on the jar. Thanks for the help, here is the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edameff Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I will! We are going on a cruise for our 20th Anniversary in 10 days, I will smoke one then along with a Grand Reserva, I hope they are not a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edameff Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I was in Niagara Falls Canada, the shop was Gordon's Cigars and Tobacco, he is an authorized dealer for Havana House so I hope they are legit.

When I was reading this thread I thought to myself "hey, I think Sammy at Gordons has a few of the 150's". Sure enough thats where you went. I wouldn't doubt Sammy at all, been dealing with him for 5 years now and he has always been honest and up front. Happy Smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
