I know these were announced years ago but I've seen boxes of ten showing up for high prices on some sites. Has anyone seen or tried these themselves? Love a DC but not sure that splashing around $1500USD for a box of 10 of them is a great way to go.

I had seen special 100-count humidors sold at around 30000 euros (more or less the same price as the L'Esprit) when they were released but never seen or heard about 10 boxes.

I have seen one or two pop up on other web sites recently as well. Honestly I forgot all about them/their announcement. No idea what the MSRP is however.

Yeah I thought they were well and truly out of reach until some places in Spain started advertising a 10 count box. Haven’t seen them anywhere else so beats me.

I remember getting excited for more DCs some time back and then thought they must have been replaced by the Montecristo Herederos LCDH but seems not.

I've seen the 10-count boxes you're talking about, they claim 2500 boxes have been made so 25000 cigars.

Upon original release, it was said 250 St-Dupont special humidors had been made with 100 cigars each so again, 25000 cigars.

They must have just split up the original humidors to get rid of those, who knows?

Likely, can't see them moving those huge humidors in these times.

The 10 count box was recently released in Spain. To differentiate from the big humidor they have a white band vs the black for the 100 count. The price is 1000 euros.
