Hes giving you the chance to try one! If its plugged you dont need to risk the whole box to find out. Just buy another! He's made them accessible to more people you see.

what a joke. I hope people don't buy it, but I'm sure there are collectors out there who can/will.

Oh man I miss the good ole days when Cohiba LE were 30-40 euros.

I recall buying boxes of Cohiba Robustos Supremos in Madrid at €25 a stick. I thought I was nuts paying that amount but then bought them anyway..

Habanos keeps pi$$ing in our faces and we keep drinking it.

[Hammer Smokin']

some are, yes...

but those who are have enough money to see it is caviar instead of piss.

I was studying in France when the 1966 LE was released. The 33-35 euros was a splurge at the time. Fantastic stick, but I'm likely never going to be able to smoke another one at today's prices.

I am in Tenerife at the moment and the LCDH have one of these. I had a good look at it this week, marvellous presentation, pricing just bonkers though.

There will be idiots (sorry I meant to say investors) that will be willing to buy those.

who actually even cares anymore since the prices are out of this world.

These idiots have been making a lot of money from whisky, wine, watch and now cigar investing. Pure dumb dumbs! 

[Magnum Dongle]

I one day aspire to have enough money where I can just buy something like this cuz I want to try it, but unless my lotto ticket hits, my net worth I'd have to hit to just off hand buy this... 😬

[Homer]

These are for ultrarich people or criminals that need to use illegal money to buy something legal.

[Koaxke]

I feel like it’s just a status symbol at that point. 

[NSXCIGAR]

This release might be the first one to be flawlessly counterfeited.

Just buy another? He’d better shake up a second one or he’d be looking into a fist

Well lets just say they do the POS . And they do one run of 3000 boxes as released . 

3000 x 10215 USD  = 30 645 000 USD 

Convert that to Australian $ and that is $47 727 750 for one run .

Astonishing numbers for sure.

I wonder what the markup looks like through the chain?

Farmers and workers -> greasing -> tabacuba -> greasing -> Habanos -> greasing -> government -> greasing -> regional distribution -> greasing -> regional politicians -> greasing -> local distributors -> greasing -> punters.

 

I don't think I missed too many steps?

I can count on one hand the number of retailers I would buy these from (if I were crazy enough to want to), and of those only one can sell internationally.
