Nino Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Yesterday in Cologne, half a day of enjoying a good time, good conversations and cigars at the Casa and getting some German ER's. Nino
Daidemo Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 RE Humidors with PL Robustos and RA Belicosos are looking really great!
Scdalak Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Niño why oh why do you torture us so?????????????? Keep 'em coming just the same !
Strada Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Wowwwww! The 5th avenida jars are beautiful. Just love the shape. Thanks for posting Nino, you are the man
Nino Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Niño why oh why do you torture us so?????????????? Keep 'em coming just the same ! For a very simple reason : Because you rape my name ( using your iPhone autowriting feature, right ?? ) ........ Remember : Niño is the Climate Disaster - Nino is the Cigar Catastrophe, OK ?? And to make you suffer a bit more, here's more pictures and text on yesterday's Cologne trip : http://www.flyingcigar.de/smoking_cigars/2012_07_cologne_half_day_pleasures.php Nino ( The Cigar Cat ..... whatever ...
Puros Y Vino Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Love that jar!! Nino, can you snap a photo of the contents when you get the chance?
Nino Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Love that jar!! Nino, can you snap a photo of the contents when you get the chance? Will do - but they are the regular release 5-ta Avenida German ER's re-packaged into a jar ........ so, only the jar is new. Or as the saying goes : Old wine in new jars
Nino Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Love that jar too, now how do I get one ..... Maybe like : Follow the instructions of your car navigation system to Cologne city centre, park nearby, have a coffee, smoke a cigar, choose a jar, select a credit card ............ Might differ from case to case though, don't know where your garage is located
Lotusguy Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks, Nino - you answered my question about the RA Belicosos from the other thread No PL Lonsdales, though Nevertheless, will stop by in September. BTW, I think it's a joke to re-package the 5ta Avenida into jars just so they can get rid of the stock that's laying on the shelves like lead. I personally didn't like any of the 4 I've tried but some people on the German forum say they've come around so I'll try one more.

Or as the saying goes : Old wine in new jars Interesting. So, is it possible Habanos SA or Fifth Avenue "recalled' the existing 5-ta Avenida stock to be stuffed into jars or did they roll more? According to CCW 3000 boxes of 20 were made. These have always interested me. Anyone try them? Are they worth getting? Jar or no jar?

I tried 4, they all put me to sleep they were that boring and bland. Waste of money, IMO. I will try just one more.

These have always interested me. Anyone try them? Are they worth getting? Jar or no jar? According to the official information some of the existing stock was "recalled" and re-packaged into 600 jars that were produced in Germany ( the jars - .... of course :-) ) by Arzberg Porzellan in Franconia. The jars contain 25 sticks which means that 15.000 sticks were still "on hold". The opinions on the cigars themselves here are mixed from "Hero to Zero". Personally I've smoked a few and was disappointed and then fascinated - we'll see, it's a nice jar, even though a bit hard to smoke the porcelain :-).
3Frontera Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I planned to go to Koln today but pushed it off. I always visit Peter Heinrichs when I'm there. I've already ordered the Juan Lopez Distinguidos ER 2011 Porcelain Jar. Awaiting words from them on the Bolivar 5ta Avenida. Cheers for the pics!!! Received good words from Peter & Andreas....Jars on the way!

thechenman Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Nino...while the 5ta Boli Jar is nice...I prefer your custom Partagas jar. That one was a real beauty.
Afficionado1 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I would rather say. One of those rare days that I was not at the office. Thanks again Nino. It was a relaxing afternoon
