Montecristo no 1 Box of 10

[dageshi]

Quick question gents, how long has the 10 count of Monte no 1's box been around? I usually look around for smaller boxes like this but don't recall seeing this one, is it a recent thing or been around for a while?

I bought a 10 box maybe 8 years ago. I think I only recently threw away the box so unfortunately I couldn't tell you the box code.

I'm getting stuck into a box of BUM ABR 2014s at the mo.

Oh OK, definitely not new then, thanks NapaNolan, ayepatz. I was wondering if Habanos were putting out more of their long and skinnies in 10ct boxes (something which I think would be a really good idea!) I must have missed them before, definitely going to buy a box!

Certainly prior to Jan 2003, and possibly for most of the post-revolution era. I'm sure someone else has some more specific info on exactly how long these have been around, but it may have been quite a long time.

Probably before you were born...... pre 1960 packaging

I did check that website, unless I missed something there isn't an "introduced date" for the 10ct box, that's why I asked here.

A 2001 10-count box of no.3 was my first ever box purchase of a premium Cuban. Before then it had been Quintero boxes and premium singles.

 

Not particularly on topic but the thread brought back fond memories
