Maravillas

[El Presidente]

I will put them up after the christmas break. Haven't even looked at the pricing. No emails/PM's please. 

Very nice presentation. It is not for rme but I can understand the attraction. Good numbers.

I question to you Rob.    Have you any Idea if HSA will be seeing the Spanish markets  Ano del Pero and Ano del Cerdo at the beginning of the 'set'? or will they be running their own 12 set?  i.e finishing on Ano Del Pero and Ano Del Cerdo?

 

[SenorPerfecto]

That box is VERY pretty.

Goddamnit Nino!!....you're always there at the release of a cigar we are desperate to see as being not worth the coin,......and report its lovely.  Just when I feel comfortable in my standard catalogue, you keep me looking over my shoulder at the girl with the Botoxed face

You won’t find it so lovely once you hear the price... they are out in Germany already.

For us uneducated folks, what is the price?

496 CHF

[Bri Fi]

Is the second band a bag of cash? 

[El Presidente]

By now we should understand that not all cigars produced are marketed at "the average cigar smoker"  

As long as they produce a fair mix (Punch Short de Punch), I really couldn't care.

Two different entities as far as I am aware but I am not sure.

Maybe the price is why they come in boxes of 8 instead of the usual 10.  

 

Is 8 a lucky number in China?

It is, though luckier for HSA! 

Check out the 2011 Bolivar Edición Regional China Distinguidos jar,  $1500 for 25 and the 2008 Bolívar Edición Regional China Armonías, just 2008 boxes of 8 for $1300 on release.

Distinguidos the better deal.

USD $2300 MO auction 2015 last sale I found. I'm sure they're worth more now. I'll split the difference and help you offload it for $1900

Wow! I wish I had a jar on-hand in my locker! 

[Derboesekoenig]

Yeah these are already being flipped. Too much $, but they look absolutely amazing...

[Sandman]

I’ve smoked a couple so far. Very good cigars, unbelievable aroma at cold, perfect construction, tons of depth. These are gonna age very well.

I don't think the concept of a set is very important to HSA... if the cigars sell the series will continue in perpetuity beyond the first 12. If they don't sell it will stop the next year regardless of where they are in the zodiac.

Love the size. Especially in Hoyo

My apologies @99call - just happened to bring back some of those ratty Maravillas # 3 and tried the first one out the other day, it was truly wonderful for a young cigar. Excellent all the way. Really good.
But the German retail price of 59€ is indeed quite high...

Here my text 2 days ago :
Smoking the RyJ Maravilla # 3 "Year of the Rat" im preparation of my upcoming trip to SE Asia.
Wonderful cigar despite being so fresh still ....

[anacostiakat]

Box of eight?    Odd.  Not my thing so no matter.
