Master Cases

[Van55]

I have often seen the term "master case" used to describe the quantity of cigars shipped from Cuba to the regional LCDH distributor. I've just assumed that that was some unknown number of boxes of cigars bundled and palletized for shipment.

Question:

How many boxes are in a master case? Does the number vary depending on the kind of box (e.g. cabinet of 50 vs. box of 25 or 24)?

Assuming the master cases consists of boxes of 25 cigars, would the number of boxes in a master case depend on the size of the vitola or the type of box (e.g. semi-plain box vs. 8-9-8 unvarnsished vs. Sir Winston varnished box)?

Thanks.

When I can afford to start buying in bulk legally, I will set up my own site and let you guys know. ;-)

Van got a pallet jack for his birthday last year. I think that he is just trying to figure out how to get optimum usuage out it. ;-)

From what I have read...25-30 boxes per master case, depending on style/type of cigar/box. So, Van, what cigar are we getting? ;-) :-D :-P

Not necessarily always the case. You can have 40 boxes per mastercase depending on the vitola.

I don't know how many are in there, but I do know I love the word, "master case" :-D

So would a master case of petit coronas consist of around 40 boxes, or more?

[madandana]

Wow, old post. RIP Van.

[jdo2110]

Well, possibly. Dimensions of the boxes are taken

Into consideration in order for the packaging

to be situated on a pallet in square shape. This allows for.....

Wait.... I LITERALLY know nothing about this!

; )

Just having fun, guys, please continue...

I guess this has to do with logistics so maybe it doesn't matter the size itself but which cigar is being shipped.

Just a guess.

A little less, I think. I believe there are 42 boxes of minutos in a master case; a friend of mine bought a case of RASCC, and 42 is the figure I remember. I could be wrong but not by much…

No, all the cases are the same size. I have pictures somewhere, I'll try to find them…

[SCgarman]

I would like to see El Pres take some pics of himself going through the steps of unboxing a mastercase of Habanos. I think most have not seen things of the sort at the PCC warehouse.

That would make for a very cool post indeed.
