The real "Mr T"

[99call]

I always love the idea of a trusted "Master of the Cabinets".   Whether is be "in ROB we trust" or the late 'Mr T'  aka Mr Tegtmeyer from New York Dunhill. 

$15 dollars for a box of Montecristo Dunhills Seleccion Suprema !     thats $159 in todays money........... heartbreaking!!

In a world where a sense of class is going out the window, in favour of showiness and whomever can shout loudest.......long live those who have a keen eye for quality. and the living "Masters of the Cabinets".

$159 isn't too far off from a current box of Monte 3. Amazingly stable in price. I guess HSA isn't gouging us too badly!

More like the price of the Monte #4. I can't understand, the #3 is 1/2 inch longer and a box of #3 is $220+ for a box. I will take the #4's for the price any day of the week.

I imagine that price would be a little higher if you were buying them on 5th Ave today!

Whoa, $220 is definitely on the high side for Monte 3...more like Monte 1. I don't think I've seen Rob put up PSP Monte 3 for more than $200.

Average worldwide price is about $175. 

I will say the price was very good considering the premium for the Dunhill-labeled versions.

More likely. Actual competition then. Monte and Upmann was a private house still owned by Menendez & Garcia.
