Yup, I am stoked. The tins look amazing. I can totally picture myself whipping a Capitol or Club King (or a a Bolivar PC or RASCC or anything else I shove in there) out of one of those sweet tins while out and about on the town.

Not to be the contrarian here, but like, just what RJ needs--another mareva sized cigar.  Ditto to Partagas.  You know what's more retro than the PC in my book?  The Hoyo Des Dieux or the Monte Especial.

I've aways wondered about people that travel with these or go about the day with these in their pocket... I mean people talk about cigars having to sit at a perfect Rh or itll burn funky etc. Well, sitting in a airy tin that's leaking RH, doesn't that effect the cigars smoke quality and taste? 

 

That's why I've been pushed away from the tinned cigars like HUHC, shorts, clubs etc.

Did anyone else note the irony of HSA saying that Marevas are “possibly the most popular format in the history of Habanos,” while simultaneously deleting them at a record clip?   

It’s all part of their plan to sell these tins.

Yup, noticed!

I could do pretty well without all this tinplate, if they'd just bring back PCs in the 50-SLB. Pay for the tobacco, not for the packaging. The retro style attempt isn't even much appealing to me, I have to admit, as they didn't manage making the old crumped slip lid fitting.

Here is a tin I was gifted many years ago. Pretty neat addition to my collection of relics. I’m a fan so will probably pick a couple of each up when I can.

Well, when I say take them on the go, I'm referring to day/night trips. No more than a couple of days, in which case these won't be much different than most cigar travel cases that aren't humidors. Where I live, the outside humidity is generally lower than my humidor, but it's not a desert either.

Yep, that's the original Club Kings petaca. I bet you'll be disappointed when you have the so-called "retro" version in hand.

I got the same but complete with the cedar inlay. You can see it on my old post here:

I guess I could be but I find walking into situations like that with an open mind generally saves me from feeling disappointed. Take things as they are, not as I want them to be.

If they have good cigars in them I don’t think I’ll be disappointed at all though. :)
