FYI. The La Escepcion jar that's supposed to hold 25 cigars, then 30 actually holds 32. :lol: I could probably squeeze two more but 32 is a good number. I'll post pics later.

Bad time, wrong place, for when the La Escepcion jar was announced. I would have jumped on it likely, any other time. But, Frank is kind enough to temporarily hold onto one for me. ;):P Thanks buddy!

It's like Tabacuba doesn't want to admit that SCdlH is a failed experiment.

Cuaba, SCdlH, Vegas Robaina; would be interesting to see sales on these marca, I know online forums are a small slice of the cigar world but they just seem generally unwanted, compared to the BHK line for example. I mean without regionals, would they have any significant sales? I love the la feurza but the rest, meh

Actually I think you are incorrect. Maybe it was the wrong time and place for you, but it was the perfect time and place to sell the jar. The La Escep's hadn't been moving and the jar was used to push the rest of the boxes out there for sale and get them sold. So really it was quite a smart move to sell the remaining stock that was left and do it quickly. Obviously it worked.

LOL. Oh, absolutely smart, and well executed. Relative to everything, the price, while not excellent, was manageable too.

I just meant that it was bad timing for me alone at that point! LOL. :(:tantrum:

Oh well....

Perhaps a better jar will be in my hands soon enough....

:innocent::stir:;):D

In most duty frees I see, not including Ireland, I see 3 and 5 packs of Cuaba and Vegas Robaina. Duty Free sales account for a high proportion of sales worldwide, I could be wrong but I think it's something like 30% of total. Distributers seem to be pushing those things there. It's a handy product for a duty free. Millions of people will make an impulse buy of $30, far fewer numbers make impulse buys of $300.

However I would be very surprised if any one of those brands, Cuaba, SCdlH or VR, account for more than 1% of sales worldwide, in either numbers or value. Certainly no more than 2%.
