Nino Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The odyssey of the Partagas replica jar with my name on it has ended. It was ordered last November, was supposed to be handed over during the Festival and finally ready for pick-up in April. Finally it has arrived home and shares a privileged space with other jars in my office. Reiner, a good friend, visited Cuba with his wife and I was able to talk him into picking it up for me - he didn't complain until after his return as he was afraid the jar would be shambles and pieces after the trip plus the flight and I would blame him ... Pick up was in style, the terrace of the Nacional hotel, where else, and while the jar was empty of cigars, a couple of bundles of good custom rolled cigars served to pad the box and prevent any damage.

Mr.T Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Very nice Nino! That is a beautiful looking Jar. I've got a jar of the Juan Lopez Distinguidos on pre-order. Have you sampled this RE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Very nice Nino! That is a beautiful looking Jar. I've got a jar of the Juan Lopez Distinguidos on pre-order. Have you sampled this RE? No, I haven't yet, but depending on the price I'll have one reserved - looks good. There are 2 ER's coming out in Jars in Germany, the 5-ta Avenida Bolivar and the JL you mention. We'll see ......... there's still room on my shelves :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The 5th avenue looked promising. Love the jars, not a HU Noella fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adic88 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Lovely, Nino. Will make a great home for some custom "Nino" cigars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Maybe I should pick up a jar of the 5th avenue when I am in Germany in September. The 4 I've tried so far were boring, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
