Habana Mike Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Have these made a 24:24 appearance? Doubt they will, being an Italian RE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Have these made a 24:24 appearance? There is a split thread about flipping cigars that explains exactly why this won't happen. No retailer outside of Italy can get these first-hand, and I don't think our host sells cigars acquired from secondary sources... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedi Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 About what? About the taste...what else? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 So what are these currently worth on the secondary market? You can still get them from the primary market for ~400Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Plenty of Italian stores will ship them overseas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangstarrrrr Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Should be able to get them for 375eur + shipping. One retailer just got reloaded with stock. Shipping was reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fedi Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Has anyone actually smoked one of these? If not can someone provide a link to a review anywhere? I can't find anything on them. I know they're new but just wondering if all the hype is solely based on the rep of the Selectos Finos. Received a box last week and lit one as soon as I cracked the box open. Great burn throughout with all the typical Habano flavors you'd expect from a premium stick but much more milder (e.g. Cohibas, BHKs...). Last 1/4 left a minty taste and it was delicious! I think with a little aging these will be exceptional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Great burn throughout with all the typical Habano flavors you'd expect from a premium I think with a little aging these will be exceptional. At that price this is a required minimum! As for the aging I wonder what makes you think so... The cigar is surprising mild for something released under the La Escepcion label. It's already good, it's very well rolled which allows it to offer a nice evolution from mild to a solid medium, with balsamic notes that reminded me the old Longos (discontinued in the 80's). Now, is it better than a good Connoisseur #1, or Epicure #1? IMHO, no, and it costs the double. But it's certainly a different habano, on this point it's an achievement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand the comments saying they will improve w age. Makes no sense to me. They are good now. Reminds me of a smaller Conn. A. I definitely get more Upmann than any other marca in them. Frank, if youre buying them at double the cost of a 6 or 7 dollar Conn. 1, please share your source!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangolf18 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I don't think I've ever seen so much hoopla over a regional before. Wish this thread would just be locked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvel79 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 More like 3x the cost with shipping!!!Agreed! Everywhere I've looked it has been a pretty steep shipping charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Nope. 375 euro is not 2x cost of conn. 1. No, it's even less than that! Shlomo, to be fair, you'd have to compare regular prices, incl. tax, and not with Rob's prices. Otherwise its comparing apples with oranges. The regular price of a Conny 1 in the same LCDH where you'd buy the DJ, would be about 60-70% of the DJ. Living in Europe, a similar figure holds for my and I guess also for Smallclub's country. But I am sure you were just kidding and not really expecting to secure a box below retail price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I paid regular price for mine, but if I could find them for less....then yes, I would be interested....who wouldnt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lotusguy Posted February 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2016 I dont understand the comments saying they will improve w age. Because that's what everybody says so it must be true and people parrot it. Ever notice that there are no bad cigars anymore, just cigars in a sick phase or cigars that "will be outstanding in a few years"? I'm beginning to sound like Pigfish 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuma Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm heading to the south of France (Menton) about a mile from Italy on the French / Italy Riviera. Towns that are nearby are SanRemo and Ventimiglia. I'm hoping to find a tabac shop in either of those town and scorea box. I will look for some French RE's because I'll also be in Nice where Flamme Fumee. Any suggestions I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
