Popular Post El Presidente Posted December 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2018 Did you know that the Partagas Maduro Number 1 was an LCDH release? Well did you also know that it is now going to be regular production? Well, then did you know that they have repriced it lower as it is now regular production? Yes...it is the same cigar...same box and cigars. So I asked yesterday if I could buy some of the new lower priced Partagas Maduro Number 1 as they were on the order sheet. Nope.....only the "LCDH designated ones" are available and at the more expensive price. Hang on....aren't they the same cigar? "Yes" You couldn't make this stuff up 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 LOL! The balance sheet has them making x amount of dollars on those cigars so that's what they will bring in. Period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Past experience shows that the taste of limited editions (LCDH and Habanos Specialist editions is released this way every year, Partagas Maduro no.1 - was Habanos Specialist Exclusive release) is always worse than the first release. For Partagas a good example is Salomones and Culebras. For the regular series, the success of the first limited release of the H.Upmann Magnum 50, became a regular one, and the taste became worse. But in any case, we will try regular Maduro no.1, I hope this will be the exception to the rule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they are the same cigar, in the same box, when will they know they ran out of the expensive ones.... Wow a real delema....

Morons. To be fair I feel like the NC’s have vastly improved over the last 10 years and a few producers are doing excellent ageing/blending/quality control with the tobacco they have to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But New Partagás Maduro No. 1 21 September 2015 Releases It is the first release of the new Maduro serie launched within the Partagás brand. It is characterized by its dark shade maduro wrapper, result of an extra fermentation period, enhancing its full flavor blend. This product is available exclusively though La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialists from all over the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 How come they don't have the LCDH band on them?Because this is not LCDH, this is Habanos Specialist Exclusive release. A feature of the HSE releases is that cigars are allocated in that order according to the priority of the stores: LCDH, specialist Habanos, Habanos point... PL Picadores also has no a second band. The cigars LCDH & HSE have a band with two logos When the HSA gives confusing information, it's best to turn to Trevor's site:Originally released as a Habanos Specialist Exclusive, in 2018 this was changed to general production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I cant see being related but, who knows, maybe because Maduro 2 and 3 are "about" to be released, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 18 hours ago, KavalanWhisky said: How come they don't have the LCDH band on them? To add perhaps - the new special band (Casa & Habanos Specialist exclusive) had been introduced first with the Punch-48. Earlier releases simply came without an additional special band (that's why the Maduro No.1 doesn't bear one, as still holds e.g. for the ConA as opposed to the B - perhaps we'll see double-banded ConAs as well in the future - but talk about logic and consistency...), with the exception of the very first one, the San Cristobal Torreon. Some jars of those (I think the earlier ones), came, perhaps erroneously, banded with the LCDH-band, yet others remained unbanded. But these are/were all 'LCDH&HS' releases (complete list so far: Torreon, ConA, Picadores, Maduro1, Punch48, ConB, SCdLH Prado) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
