El Presidente Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Press release received this morning from HSA. They will be available shortly (a few weeks). No idea on pricing or quantities to be received at this time but I should know more next week. ________________________________________________________________________________ __________________ Havana, September 29th 2009 PRESS RELEASE COHIBA SIGLO VI GRAN RESERVA It is the first ever Habanos Gran Reserva elaborated with the best cuban tobacco leaves from San Juan y Martínez and San Luis harvested in 2003, and carefully aged for five 5 years before reaching the cigar rollers hands. The eagerly awaited Cohiba Gran Reserva reaches finally the most select markets in the World. Habanos s.a is pleased to present the "Gran Reserva", launched for the first time ever in "Cohiba", the most prestigious premium cigar brand in the world. This first ever Habanos Gran Reserva enhances the unique character of Habanos as a “Denominacion de Origen Protegida” (protected Denomination of origin). The Gran Reserva concept means the best of what Habanos has ever made. The best Cuban tobacco leaves harvested in 2003 have been selected, fermented and inspected for a long period of five years. All the leaves used to make up a Habano -the wrapper, the filler and the binder- have undergone this meticulous 5 year process Those precious leaves, after five years of care, are then laid in the skilful hands of Cohiba´s expert Cuban cigar-rollers at "El Laguito" factory in order to create this exquisite Habano for the most distinguished smokers. Furthermore, the emblematic vitola "Siglo VI" (girth 52 x 150mm length) has been chosen for the production of this first Habanos Gran Reserva. Every part of the process respects the criteria that one would demand of such a unique product. From the careful process of fermentation using the best tobacco from San Juan, Martinez and San Luis, to the exquisite blend selection process supervised by 50 testers, all elements are checked to combine so as to respect the unique character of Cohiba. Cohiba Gran Reserva is a small and numbered production, only 5.000 numbered cases containing 15 Siglo VI each. At this stage the first Gran Reserva of Habanos already is a hit, taking into account journalists’, smokers’ and experts’ opinions, which have given the maximum ratings to this first Habanos Gran Reserva, making of it a collectible item extremely difficult to find. Factory size (vitola de Galera): Cañonazo. girth 52 x 150mm length . Comercial Name (Vitola de Salida): Cohiba SigloVI Gran Reserva 2003 . Presentation: 5.000 numbered cases with 15 units each.
Jimmy2 Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 WOW !!! Group buy anyone i want at least 3 ? PM me when the price comes out on these...
terrantheman Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm curious on price but I may be down for a couple
tigger Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Depending on pricing, and Rob's looking them over I'd take two. I'm so weak.
Habanos2000 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 How can you not just want to try a couple??
aavkk Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm gonna guess $65-70 a stick on these, for that price or anything close to it I am really glad I picked up the 03 Cohiba Siglo VI's in the PCC program for $26 a stick. Wow that is a great cigar!
Colt45 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm just going to smoke some of Ken's. and drink his "do not touch" rum. and cognac.
Buch0 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I will chuck in for a few, couldn't imagine missing out on getting my hands on these :S
armedak Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Pass.. There is no friggin way I'm paying $60.00 +USD for a cigar. I guess I'm the minority opinion here, but I really am getting sick of all this endless Regional and LE koolaid.
Stalebread Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm interested in two or three singles. But are singles going to be available through Czar? Or, for that matter, any vendor? Or will singles be available only through a "group buy?"
Mr. Japan Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Price in Italy is been already released : 900 euro for 15 = 60 Euro each stick
bunburyist Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Price in Italy is been already released : 900 euro for 15 = 60 Euro each stick Aye - that's a smiliar price to what I heard from London (are we allowed to talk about prices?). If that's the case, no interest. Imagine getting a plugged one....
Ellery Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 They look great, but for the price....maybe I'll pick-up 1 or 2.
tigger Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Normally I wouldn't give these a second look, but based on Rob and Smithy's review they sound "worth" the price of admission to me - worth being a very subjective term in this case.
thechenman Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'd definitely be in for two or three if anyone else is interested in a group buy, or has space in their's.
Jokermann Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Partagas Reserva at release - $400? Monte Reserva at release - $375? Cohiba Reserva at release - $1300+!! HSA has lost their damn minds. I will pass on these, and go for another cab of Siglo IIs which I am sure, are just as nice.
