Does anyone have a spare 55000 Euro.....maybe 75000/100,000?

[El Presidente]

Ahhh to dream

I was given a briefing yesterday on the blind auction process for the 49 Cohiba 50 Aniversario Humidor Cabinets.

I will have more details in the coming weeks. Right now there appears to be more holes in the process than a slice of Swiss cheese.

The reserve appears to be 55000 Euros. However that fair sum of coin is unlikely to get you one.

How much moola will I need to stump you may ask?

We don't know is the reply

I think the distributors are as confused on the process as I. It will be sorted out in the coming weeks.

If you have your heart set on one then drop me a PM or e-mail and I will keep you in the loop and run your inquiry through PCC. Naturally, all correspondence will be confidential.

No....I won't be bidding personally

“Cohiba 50 Aniversario” humidor cabinet. This piece is an authentic work of art and a unique collector’s item, and heralds a true innovation in terms of traditional craftsmanship and technical design. The humidor is lined with real Cuban tobacco leaves plated with 24-carat gold. This is a limited series of 50 humidors, all numbered and personalised with the owner’s name. Each humidor contains 50 Habanos with a vitola of the same name, and is also unique in the size of its ring gauge, being the first in the history of Habanos to offer 60 mm (60 mm ring gauge x 178 mm length).

Sorry, I just spent my last million Euro on a some ocean front property in North Dakota. Otherwise I would be happy to help.

You must be regretting that now

I guess they are taking a page out of Ghurka's marketing manifesto. If there are people who are willing to spend that much money on cigars, more power to them. I am sure it will be a fantastic centerpiece to their collection.

For the guy or gal who can afford this, how many do they buy? if you fall in love with the cigar, you only have 50 of them. Stock up, go deep, or regret it when they are two or three times the price in a year.

My dog ate it!

[MooseAMuffin]

One sec, I'll check my couch and get back to you.

[jackupster]

I'll take 2...do they take checks?

[El Presidente]

I want in on a parcel of that land!

[melies]

1 PSP please Pres! or do they only come in HQ?

[PapaDisco]

60RG?? Go big or go home is the theme apparently!

[oliverdst]

What I understood is that the start bidding price is 149.000

Maybe 50 is just to be "accepted" as a bidder and later these 50 are discounted.

[luv2fly]

You must be regretting that now

Yes I am!!! If only!

[TomF]

Wait...Did I read that right? Minimum of €55,000 for 50 cigars? Minimum of €1100 per cigar? And 60 RG? No thanks...

[riazp]

as gorgeous as it is...id rather buy a nice car with that kind of money

[Miner]

Just so happens I received an email this morning from the former chairman of the bank of Nigeria offering me $20 million. I'll put my order in when the $20 mill arrives

Cheers

Pricey. Anyone else think the wrappers seem a touch on the light side?

That cigar's strong enough to chip a tooth.

[kuma]

Well I guess that leaves me out on a couple of fronts.

1st the RG is not easy to handle. Think of all the discontinuded stoogies you could

brigh back. Saint Luis Rey - Lonsdales, PUNCH - Super Selection #1, Rafael Gonzales - Lonsdales,

El Rey Del Mundo - Gran Corona Anejado, La Gloria - Med. d'or no. 3, Quai D'Orsay - Gran Corona,

QDO - Panetelas, SCDLH - Muralla, Mercaderes, Oficios, Sancho Panza - Bachilleres, Corona Gigante,

Boliva - Corona Gigante, Corona Extra, Petit Corona Cabinet, Gold Medals, Partagas - Serie Connaisseur #3,

Granted some of these smokes are not the "cats meow" that great but RG 60 please can I come up for some air

Habanos!

[dicko]

The gold leave doors look awesome I must say.

[El Presidente]

Wait...Did I read that right? Minimum of €55,000 for 50 cigars? Minimum of €1100 per cigar? And 60 RG? No thanks...

I have a gut feel that minimum will not get close

I think you have to discount that they are cigars at all. Buyers will see it as a piece of art, a collectable (perhaps).

I have mates who will drop that on a painting or piece of abstract modern art with little thought. This to me is in the same realm if you view it through those glasses.

I am not in that realm nor own those glasses

Prez, is there any chance of us seeing a humidor or two of Majestuoso 1966 come through? A 50th anniversary cigar which you don't have to have generational wealth to get ahold of. I'm sure there's Cohiba fanatics who would be willing to shell out the coin to get ahold of a these maybe? About same production numbers as Bushidos so I guess we should assume about same price then huh? Hahahahaha!

Let's wait for the Montecristo 80th first

Next time I'm in Cancun I'll go see that same nice fella who so graciously sold me the Monte 80, and demand a Majestuoso 1966---he must attend the Festival. No wait his brother works at the factory. Eh semantics...

[poorman]

Closest I'll get to one of these is when USA cigar land guy (Urs?) posts a picture of his personal dozen.
