We can bitch and complain.....but you are the Distributor...what would you

[El Presidente]

We can ***** and complain (it is our right )

.....but you are the Distributor...what Regional Release would you submit to HSA for 2017 approval that:

1. Has not yet been produced gobally.
2. Is not one of the restricted global marques "Cohiba/Monte/R&J/Upmann/HDM/Partagas
3. Thanks for the reminder: No Trinidad, San Cristobal and Cuaba.
4. Is not a complicated figurado (no flying pigs please).
5. You believe will sell 2000 boxes (25) globally in the calender year (careful here on the skinnies. Pretend you are putting in $750K thereabouts of your own coin).
6. One submission per member. You can name it as well. new vitolas permitted.

Think about it. The ones that qualify (from your recommendations) I will put up in a poll on the weekend of the 28th. if someone puts one up that has been done before, please point it out.

I will submit the top 3 poll winners to PCC for consideration. They can do with it what they please.

*If by some miracle it comes to pass....the original member who put it up can have a box gratis

How about a RA Petit Robusto - we clearly don't have enough of those yet

If you want it to sell like hot cakes, make it a Diplomatico. I'd make a Churchill. That's my only suggestion.

Diplomatico Churchill

Diplomatico Churchill I could live with. Not sure PCC would take it on so soon after the Bushido but then again someone else might. This is not a specific PCC question so all good.

You have touched the quandary that Distributors find themselves in. Balancing wanting it to sell well while trying to be different. Not the easiest of tasks.

How bout a Dip 898 or Robusto?

Pick one for me Clint. What would you put up.

[NSXCIGAR]

La Escepcion Cazadores Miramar!! Or Lonsdale/Churchill/109

Love the idea of a Dip Churchill or Robusto

Por Larranaga Churchill or Corona Gorda

ERDM Pyramid/Belicoso

[...]

There was lot of love (at least on the forum) for the Bolivar especial no2. Would be interested to try a Bolivar 898...

[JohnS]

I'd like to see a Sancho Panza Corona Gorda (you know...with a similar blend to the recent Serbian Sancho Panza Eslavo. An Asia Pacifico RE of this will sell like hotcakes).

Stupid question but is Trinidad a restricted marca??

Yes, the niche marcas are restricted (Trinidad, San Cristobal and Cuaba).

But ask away, it's not a stupid question. How does one learn without asking?

[HavanaSunday]

In that case my call is a Quai D'Orsay canonanzo. While I much prefer the skinnies it would be interesting to see this marca in a larger format. But please don't exceed a 52 RG!

Would a Vegas Robaina 898 count?

[DoubleDD]

La Escepcion double robusto......put me down for a master case.

[Habanos2000]

I'd go with a Bolivar Corna Gorda!

[Schumi5]

Diplomatico Royal Robusto.

[ElPuro]

I'd go with a Bolivar Corna Gorda!

Like this idea...

[melies]

Here is a cool one that would sell like hotcakes me thinks... Maria Guerrero - Grandes de españa, with a jar release. that would be a sell out since day one

Bolivar lancero

[NicPac]

Dip Lancero ???

[Puros Y Vino]

La Escepcion Robusto Extra. (exact dimensions of the Trini Rob Extra)

A "classic" size without the jawbreaker status of newer cigars.

Lots of hype over the Italian RE's should spur a lot more interest as a global release. Makes it easier for more people to attain.

[basjoe613]

It's got to be a Lancero. Out of left field but Fonseca Lancero.

Ramon Allones Churchill UK Release named "El Primer Ministro"

[danny]

I would've said an Edmundo Dantes 898, but that would be for Mexico. I would've then said a Diplomatico Robusto, but that was covered in the Cuba RE and the Edmundo for Paises Bajos.

There for, being it would be for the PCC market, I would love to see the...

DIPLOMATICOS - CELESTIALES FINOS

It even sounds good rolling off the tongue! I would do some serious damage if that was released...
