These should be up in the next few weeks. No pricing issued as yet. No lists as they will all be put on 24:24. The skinny agitating occasionally pays off       

898’s in a box of only 10 cigars? Am I the only one bothered by this? Cigars look good, but that’s still faking the funk.

Found a box in the LCDH in Hong Kong and had to smoke one to see if it was worth the hype...Jun 2019 box as well. Great cold draw, wrappers were lighter than the 24:24 stock but nice leather colo

Nice box and Punch always a favourite and as usual great aging potential thanks Rob ?

Not if you live in Aus. If we are lucky , we might get them for around 50 notes a stick .So ask yourself would you buy a box for 500. I will embrace the offer of 10 count and hopefully pick one up . ??

I saw a pic of these posted somewhere and thought it was a joke. 

About time Punch does a Lonsdale. 

Now I must deal with the primordial human emotion of FOMO.

Nice cigar, reminds me of the Punch Super Selection No. 1, a former favorite of mine. Will this be another double banded price doubler? I hope these are under $12/cigar, but something tells me these will probably gouge north of $15/stick and likely around $20.

Double doubled! Should have been packed in the 343 format like the Partagas 10 count, otherwise why 898?

I’m bothered by the silly packaging choice - but not enough to not get some ;)

Love Punch.

This is a cigar I should want to buy.

898 10x box...! I don't think Tabacuba could do more to turn me off.... if they tried.

Wait a sec!

... then someone will tell me they will cost $200.00 a box!!!

Okay, I am checking the negative vibes. $120 or less and I buy some! I will likely be dead before I smoke one anyway...!

With all due respect, I think you have this one wrong mate. :D

Most of the cigar world will run a thousand miles before they buy a skinny.  Asia worse than most other regions.  Let's hope they don't have to resort to jars to move the balance. 

I don't want a box of 10 but in 10's they will likely sell out. 

This is not a Tabacuba play. It is a play by a distributor who knows and is playing to their regional market.  They are not concerned about you or FOH and neither should they be.  Again, this is not Tabacuba. 

If the end price is too much, don't buy. That is capitalism pure and simple. 

I wish them success on this one. A 10 count of skinnies makes no sense to me but hey.....I am not taking the risk and I am sure they have run their numbers.

This could be a contest.     Guess the price (here) for the first offering of this box of ten.     (They do look good....)

based on the region it was developed for, I'd say you are north of $200 / box.

I'll go with $210 / 10 sticks.
