How to acquire regional editions?

[shaffer22]

The title speaks for itself! How do you go about acquiring regional editions? Do you buy directly from a retailer in that region? Are there after-market places?

Replies or PMs most welcome! Thank you.

Yea, was looking at cigars with unusual labels.   Always wonder about it.

I picked up a box of these from our host one time, but otherwise it’s mostly in stateside trades.

Check with your trusted vendors. No secret method. Some are harder to get than others. Asia ERs are typically the easiest as many vendors are based in Hong Kong. The European ERs are also generally easy to acquire with the exception of Italy as the country prohibits tobacco exports. Mexico can also be a challenge and expensive as tobacco import duties in Mexico are high and few vendors are located there. Canada and the UK are also expensive for the same reason but shouldn't be hard to locate.

Mostly secondary market so be prepared to pay through the nose on Facebook or newsgroups. Some LCDH overseas ship and sell internationally but not all.

Build up relationships and friendships with vendors/botls most countries even Italy Spain have vendors that will ship. Unfortunately though due to the amount of flippers who have appeared over last few years the good botl are less likely to share there vendors unless they know the person very well and the flippers won’t as they want to pull your knickers down in the secondary market.

 

It’s that bad even people in the country of release are struggling to get new RE as people are buying shops whole stock to sell online to male a profit from others.

Yes a nice cigar.  A friend brought a box back for me. Just hit the 1 year mark.

it's all about who you know in this trade. I can tell you on facebook. There are plenty of groups you can join. The real good ones you have to be invited into. But alot of the guys are selling Hard to find regionals. Some high price, some lower but no one on there is looking to hurt anyone on there. I find that to be the best place. But also have to research which regional your looking for. There are ALOT!
