Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Im not one for gimmicks and products aimed at the mainstream... but for some reason I like this one. It looks kind of cool.
ucla695 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 » ... but for » some reason I like this one. It looks kind of cool. I'm with you on this...It looks like one of the tubos has a punch built in to the cap too.
Punch Joe Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Wilkey It´s only aimed at the DF shops not the distributors. If you have the chance, go to Paris or Cannes (where is set to be launched) in October and look for the tobacco sdtores at the airports since it wil be largely displayed there. Good luck and make haste since the production is not so large.
Jay Hemingway Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 hey wilkey! this is a must have for us havana tubo collectors!!! i can't wait to get my hands on these puppies! me likey!! ;-)
fugwumpy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I would love to get a set of these, but I don't see any trips in the near future....
Colt45 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 » Although is produced in limited quantities, this product will be launched » next October 2008 at the TFWE in Cannes and it will be available to the » Duty Free market by the end of the year. = available some time 2011........
Grasso Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 A cute gimmick, but a good one. I'd certainly be inclined to pick one up for a gift to the occasional smoker.
mkz Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Those tubes are actually beautiful... Gimme, gimme, gimme!!! One tube has a punch, but what is it on the other one? Looks like an eraser or lipstick... or something... ???
sepp Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 » Looks like an eraser or lipstick... or something... ??? Looks like a filler plug to keep the shorter Hoyo from sliding around in the tube...
soltino Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 » » Looks like an eraser or lipstick... or something... ??? » » Looks like a filler plug to keep the shorter Hoyo from sliding around in » the tube... If the top of the tube is a punch, then the bottom has to be some sort of humidification device... something technical like a sponge I guess... in the marketing shpiel they say that it uses the latest humidification methods... ;-) Either way these look great, if I see one I'm definitely gonna buy one

Looks like an » eraser or lipstick... or something... ??? Its a little sponge (the humidifier alluded to in "Habanos are evenly humidified from the bottom to the top.") I wonder if the cigars will be ordinaries or duds repackaged... like the rubusto and piramide selectiones of the past.
shrink Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Attractive presentation. At least they've learned not to package them in cedar boxes, which ruins the flavors over time.
Tampa1257 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I'm with Wilkey, I really want one of these! My chances of making it to Paris is next to nill, might have to contact one of our members that live in France to see if its possible to get a set or two. I like the concept.

SamuraiJack Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I know this is an ass-hattish first post. But if anyone can help me get one of these, I would be eternally grateful!! Any ideers on how much these will cost?

SamuraiJack Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Yea, I am coping with the shame. But look at those things! Shiny. With cigars in them.
El Presidente Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 I haven't seen any as yet but I will inquire with PCC over the coming week.
sepp Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 » I haven't seen any as yet but I will inquire with PCC over the coming week. Lots of interest out here...
El Presidente Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 I have an order in for 300 of the packs but as yet none available (as at last week). As soon as I have word I will let you all know :-)
