cottierm Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Dear all, Since Shlomo pointed out to me in my other post on books on CC that Amir's great endeavour (a book on the Partagas brand) was on the verge of being published. I contacted the said Amir a few minutes ago and here are the details: "Good morning Amir, Shlomo on FOH tells me that your book will be presented at the Festival this year. Could you confirm that?" "Yes, officially on Wednesday, February 27 at 19:30 at Partagas with the opening of the art exhibit. As for the final product, I have not seen it yet myself. Am flying them directly to Havana from printers for the launch. I will see it in Havana. Best regards, Amir". Another great book in perspective. Best, Michel
Trent0341 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks Michel, Hopefully I'll be able to track down a copy of this book. If anyone knows, will this be available in english? and outside of Cuba?

pedromendes Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 The book is presented in both English and Spanish (side by side). It will be available online and at certain cigar retailers. You can actualy pre-order it here: http://www.oldcubancigarstuff.com/store/products/

Not sure what is going on but Amir said he is going to look into. Thanks for the info!
Ryan Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Looking forward to this. It has been quite a few years in the making, the pages I've seen so far look great.
Trent0341 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 If anyone else is in the position I was (paypal issues/USA)... Amir has spoke to Pay Pal and they thought he was selling CCs not a book. The issue should be resolved in a few days.
cottierm Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Wonderful!!! If anyone else is in the position I was (paypal issues/USA)... Amir has spoke to Pay Pal and they thought he was selling CCs not a book. The issue should be resolved in a few days.

orangedog Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Just wanted to confirm that it is working now for US members and my order is placed. Thanks again Michel for your assistance! Unfortunately seems to be not working again. Will ping Amir.
orangedog Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Rec'd an email from paypal today that they reviewed my attempted transaction and were ok with it. Went back to order and it went through ok.
Trent0341 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Rec'd an email from paypal today that they reviewed my attempted transaction and were ok with it. Went back to order and it went through ok. Exactly what happened to me. Glad it worked out. I was told to look for the book by the end of March.
orangedog Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Not yet. Heard he is swamped - not sure with what, he may be shipping himself? Haven't recd an email from him since the festival.
ndtoronto Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Anyone with updates? Last i heard was that they were on the ship and would be here in April. It must be 16-18 months now since I ordered.
