Edmundo Dantes el conde 54

[melies]

Hi everybody on Monday was the presentation of the new Mexican Regional Edition the Edmundo Dantes El conde 54 2011 It´s in a Sublime format.

It was a great event with lovely people and great cigars

The cigar itself is something to behold, but I will share my review in another post

Here are some photos that I took

Thanks for the pics - look forward to your impressions.

Thanks for the pictures. I will probably try to get a couple of them. Hope they bring out a slimmer Dante down the road... not holding my breath!

[riazp]

Great pictures, looking foward to the review, i've heard nothing but good things about the edmundo dantes

[kiwifruit]

Can Czar get these? If not, can somebody help a brother out through pm.

[melies]

Wow hanging with the Suck-man and Guttman. Impressive company! Would it be rude to ask price?

One World. One Wine.

Amusing.

Thanks for the report.

[mazolaman]

Yeah,One world,lots of wines,fits better for me.

Not so keen on Suckling,as all red wine went to 14% after his bandwaggon got rolling,I think we lost some more subtle wines...my twopenneth...

Looks like good fun,and it's always good to see these occasions around the world.

Thanks for posting,Melies.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to your review.

Is the idea that these will be the same blend or thereabouts as the Edmundo Dantes El Conde 109?

Did Suckling say his wine was:

"THA BOMB"

That's ridiculous!!! No thanks.

[stinkhead]

If someone has a source on these that is willing to ship and could pm me that would be great! Ive contacted a few places but they do not export.

[Guest rob]

That's an expensive box of rolled tobacco!

[bassman]

Looks like a cardboard pack next to the cigar. Are these coming in 3 or 5 packs as well as boxes? The original ED 109 is a fantastic cigar, but.........well out of my smoking budget. That's 1/2 ounce of gold that will still be around long after the cigars are smoked.

Sorry about that. I never mention sources. Did not realize official price was a problem.

[khomeinist]

Over-zealous moderating. These will presumably not be available in Brisbane.

One World. One Lubricant.

[Liuk]

Felicidades por la nina !!!!!

Congrats for the chiquita!!!

[CanuckSARTech]

Congrats on the little one, Melies!

I didn't see the posts before they were moderated, but if all mention of the asking price is off limits here, I agree that the rule should be modified.

I trust it's okay for me to say that, from what I have read, these are about 1/3 more than the original price of the 2007 Condes 109.

Once again, HSA is marketing cigars at exhorbitant prices and apparently selling them for those amounts to zealous collectors -- all to the detriment of the little guy who wants to score (now discontinued)regular production smokes for under $10.00 a stick.

[Van55]

Regarding posting of prices.

Cigar Czar's exact retail prices are routinely posted on the "Live from the Humidor" threads. Certainly Czar is entitled to market the product it sells any way it chooses on its own forum. No issue there. And it is entitled to protect itself from comparison pricing on its own forum. For someone to object that he can get xyz cigar from another vendor for $xx.xx less than Czar's price would certainly be off limits.

Here, however, the issue here is the price of a regional release cigar that presumably will never be offered by the Czar. Under that limited circumstance, the price is of significant interest and poses absolutely no competitive threat to Czar. I would think posting that price would be allowed. What say you, Rob?
