Lant63 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Looks like a legitimate sighting, I hope these are not fakes already. More info on where this is to follow. Sent by telepathic super powers -Stogie Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Geez, they're ungodly. Also... why do the bands have to take up a third of the length of the cigar? Looks like a Swiss vendor. Decent selection of 1966s still stockpiled, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncat Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I would love to get my hand on a box of these? Any word on price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Any word on price? Too much With Swiss set prices at 490 CHF for the 1966s, these monsters will probably be at least $45 a stick in Europe. Imagine what else you could get with that price. Won't stop me from getting a box just because. But still............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MostlyHarmless Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 They come in boxes of 50? Or is that at 3 infront of the 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Pretty sure it's a 1 - boxes of 10.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 They come in boxes of 50? Or is that at 3 infront of the 0? that'd be as silly as releasing a 50cab for Canada as a regional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MostlyHarmless Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 that'd be as silly as releasing a 50cab for Canada as a regional :lol: I know, that's why i'm asking. It just doesn't look anything like a 1 on this photo imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MostlyHarmless Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Also if it's a swiss shop, there should be some warning signs on the boxes i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Also if it's a swiss shop, there should be some warning signs on the boxes i think. if it was any shoppe, it should have a health warning... i'm thinking it's an exporter where due to the international clientelle, it would not require any sort of health stamp. I know, that's why i'm asking. It just doesn't look anything like a 1 on this photo imo. agreed. just making a jest if it was a 50 cab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 That's an Aussie Collectors personal stash (I'm 'friends' with him on facebook where he posted that pic) He got that box as part of a bulk purchase, so no word on pricing yet I've also seen one other Aussie Cigar Collector with a legit box as well, again, not sure what he paid for it I'd imagine they'll sell for the same prices as the 1966's give or take 10% Aussie prices will prob be a lot higher though thanks to the tax increases since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't imagine living in Australia and being a cigcollector. Taxes aside, I do wonder what the health stickers would do to the collection. Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry.

The import tax is higher than the cost of the cigars normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
