Ken Gargett Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 wondering if anyone has tried these of late. i remember buying some from rob years ago - he had them on special as no one was interested. smoked them all, i thought, and loved them but actually found one hidden away the other day. planning on smoking it soon but wondering if anyone else tried them of late?

hanhan Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Does Rob still have any left? Down to my last three out of the box, smoked one last month. Stellar and nowhere near expiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar and nowhere near expiring. doubt it. i think i got the last of them about a decade ago. i remember loving them back then and was staggered he'd had trouble selling them.

aes8 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'd name interested to hear thoughts also since a box usually goes for between 800-900 GBP in the bi-annual auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finecigar Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've tried only two and they were incredible. That was many years ago though, I also wonder how they smoke nowadays 13 years later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 went back to the old notes. i had no idea i'd bought so many. rob had them at $22.50 each a stick back then and i kept refilling and smoking them. the last couple i got were in a small lot of two of these and one M/C No 5 for the grand total of $20, the lot!

maverickdrinker Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 damn. $20.00 a stick. They are much more now. I've been trying to find one to try for awhile as well as the H Upmann Epicure Habanos release. Enjoy the smoke Ken. Let us know how they are. ALl I have heard is great things on this. I think Brandon smoked one earlier this year? Maybe he will share his impressions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Seen a few knocking around at £40 a single but didnt wholey trust the retailer with that side of things so passed, I wonder what the chances are of a pc being released in a celebration edition nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 damn. $20.00 a stick. They are much more now. no, that was $20 for two plus the monte 5. as i mentioned, rob couldn't move them. same as the original SLR DC's from 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just crazy looking back at it right? i look back at the cost of the first LE's coming out of cuba - $130 a box for the partagas pyramides. i think they had no idea whether the concept would work so priced low. and for the same reason, got caught short for material for the 2002 - hence no releases. but that is speculation.
