I have no problem spending even $10 for RA Superiores or HU RR in a 10 box from time to time, but what am I going to get for my $20 with these RGs?

No explanation needed - my perspective is that we're making conversation - no different than if we were all together having a few cigars and perhaps a few drinks.

[PuffDaddie]

.......and yet I bet they sell out on 24-24. I know I'm in.

These look and sound wonderful, As does your description of the other cigar from this marque.

Unfortunately now more than ever I am but a humble man. I try live my life by the mantra on cigars "If I'd spend it on a bottle of wine I can spend it on a cigar!

 

[Winchester21]

I was happy to pick up a sampler pack to try them out. can't wait!!!!?

.......and yet I bet they sell out on 24-24. I know I'm in. 

And they did, as you predicted.

PCC should have priced them at $300, given how many people bought the hype hook, line, and sinker, as usual.

I bought a box in today's 24:24. I don't plan to open them for at least 12 months so hopefully it will be something special. The price is high, but not as high as I feared. I wouldn't be able to justify them as a regular smoke, but you can't have too many boxes of 10 for special occasions.

[Shaunster]

Hardly surprising that they all sold, all it proves is that the discontinuation of more classic cigars is justified if they can just sell overpriced 10boxes  instead 

[nathankwok]

I have tried this cigar in a PCC event. They sell it for HKD 2,140 for a box of ten. 

This is a mild or mild to medium bodied cigar.

Maybe I missed it in the thread but is 8 a lucky number in Asia since 8888 boxes made?

Yes, 8 is a lucky number in Asia, 8 means wealthy, hence they made 8888 boxes ?

That explains the price I guess.

[dangolf18]

I want box 8888. Special number in judaism as well.

[NSXCIGAR]

And, ironically, these should be selling for $88.

Absolutely. And at that price I would purchase 8 boxes…

And yet even pairs are especially bad luck. So is 8888 good luck because of the 8 or bad because of the repeating even number pairs? LOL

[MooseAMuffin]

Not sure if this is related or not, but since we are discussing 8 being lucky...the movie 88 Minutes starring Al Pacino is awfully and it's 88 minutes of your life you'll never get back

Box 888 will be the one that gets the big Asian money, especially diem the road when the reselling starts. Anything with the triple 8 (houses, cars etc) is considered super lucky.
