Erol Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Oh my lord that is gorgeous, my 2nd favourite habanos brand..... wow....... aside from having the money, how does one aquire such a treasure?
new2habano Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Dear El Presidente, Although I am extremely new here I must congratulate you on having the best cigar forum on the planet. The photos of the 130th annniversary humidor are beyond gorgeous but I will take my shot at describing the faux pas. The introduction should read "in life" instead of "of life", if I'm wrong don't hold it against me I'm from New York where proper English is very rarely spoken. Dex
Ken Gargett Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 "are are" and technically, the humidors were not designed by those who appreciate the finer things of life but presumably by someone in havana or thereabouts.
Ken Gargett Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 i guess also that the brand was first registered in 1873 so that makes the 130th questionable but they celebrated the 125th in 2006 so that ties in but then one notes that they have stamped 1875 on the cedar slip in the humidor - nothing like the cubans to cover all bases.
El Presidente Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 No one has picked the Faux Pas yet :-D We have one humidor and I think there were 25 designated for the Asia Pacific region (China to New Zealand). Distributed to Casa De Habanos only. We are a House that sells Habanos so we must have qualified
JMH Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 How they manage to do something like this every time, I doubt I'll ever know.
genevapics Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 That is simply beautiful. What a wonderful looking humidor. And those cigars... dark and oily! Just mouth watering.
habanablue Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Romeo looks as though he is sucking on Juliet's ***... and in the cedar imprint Romeo appears to have no pants on...and is rubbing his nose in some serious cleavage...I always knew that Romeo was a dirty playa!!! Slipping' Rapinol in Juliet's drink! now... did I win the humidor??:-D
new2habano Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 My last attempt at this faux pas would be the "I" instead of a 1 for 130 Aniversario

Tampa1257 Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Well, all I can say is that from the photo's it sure looks like the cedar block and the cedar sleeve are printed with Roneo y Julieta not Romeo y Julieta
idesign Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 The insert card has 2 widows within the typesetting.
strayvector Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 » No one has picked the Faux Pas yet :-D » Isn't the "109" vitola supposed to be a length of 194mm? edited to add: Wow!!! What a beautiful humidor.
SmokinLightning Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I'll take it! (You do take checks, right?) :-D
El Presidente Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 OOps....I may have missed posting a very important part of the puzzle ....will do so shortly :-D
cvm4 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Stunning presentation and mind numbing price :-D Very nice looking!
hueynova Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 » OOps....I may have missed posting a very important part of the puzzle » ....will do so shortly :-D Faux Pas means, literally, "False Step". Fat-ass Romeo is breaking the rung of the ladder he is standing on.
Bill Hayes Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 As a writer by trade I couldn't go past this one. In the opening written blurb the 'are' appears twice to read 'are are'. ;-)
CigarZen Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 The cigars look brilliant! Thanks for sharing Prez! And making us green with envy.
