Bolivar Coronas Extras pricing

[dangolf18]

I forget if we're allowed to talk about pricing on the forum or not but what does a box of 1998 and 1999 BCE usually fetch. I'm considering a box of each. Thanks.

[Maplepie]

are you factoring in travel costs to Iberia?

[shlomo]

250-300

[mk05]

$9 million

[El Presidente]

Depends on what part of the world Dan as you will likely see a $300+ price difference from the cheapest $275 to the most expensive $550 + (Spain v UK/Oz/Canada)

Make sure they haven't been passed over from local B&M buyers. i would go the 1998 first. See what they are like and then if the vendor says the 1999 are comparable, pick those up.

could you possibly rephrase that to something a mongoloid (like what i'm being right now) can understand?

Figured pricing would be OK on anything Rob won't be getting in stock any time soon

[dangolf18]

C'mon, Rob gets his fair share of aged stock.

Genuine Vintage/aged stock can be vintage/aged for a variety of reasons:

• Private collection being sold (privately or via a vendor).
• Vendor/Distributor storage program. Put away specifically to age and released at a later date for sale.
• Isolated Vendor. So far off the beaten track (geographically) and no internet sales. No sales out of country.
• HSA releases stock it has found or purchased back from unhappy distributor due to construction issues. It happens.
• Vendor B&M has had the boxes since release. They are so awful that regular walk in customers have rejected them over the years. Every vendor knows that on the net, anything discontinued/vintage/aged sells if you hold them long enough.

I was referring to the last point J.

Dress boxes of 25 from 1999s are sold by H&F through duty free outlets for £126 and

Spain has stock for €172,50 for box of 25 and €330 for a cab of 50, respectively - various years are available.

Now... which ones are the H&F shiny bands?

AKA - Does the first one even exist!?

MaplePie - Rob discussed these same points with you on chat not only a week ago.

There's a gold/black sticker with a tobacco leaf on it, saying PCC Vintage Program. Too lazy to find it.

Best Boli CE I ever smoked was from an H&F vendor from '99… I had asked for two boxes from '98 and got one of each, 98 and 99. I smoked the 99's and wish the 98's were the same…!

Got a 1998 H&F box not too long ago for about $375 I believe. Worth every penny. Beautiful cigars I will treasure for years to come and each one has been spot on impeccable construction, flavor, and a classic Bolivar I wish I could have more of. Saving them for the occasions

aye - you were there, too, no?

just clarifying what he was meaning!

And aye. PCC at least keeps it classy... I can remove those stickers much easier than any health sticker!
