First very rare issue of "ART NOUVEAU SERIES" - Vegas Robaina Clasicos Vintage 2007 - was officially presented during international cigar festival Moscow Aficionados Cigar Festival 2020 on October 10, 2020.

 

Only 80 numbered gold-plated faience jars 25 cigars each (RG42 * 165 mm) will be issued totalling 2000 issue of aged Vegas Robaina Clasicos cigars discontinued for regular production in 2012 which makes it exclusive for the connoisseurs of excellence of those two arts.

 

Each jar was hand-made and individually decorated by porcelain artists in famous town of Gzhel which is just 50 km (30 miles) from Moscow.

 

The unique release of Art Nouveau Serie "Vegas Robaina Clasicos 2007" is dedicated to the Russian Avant-garde - one of the modernist movements in Russia, the efflorescence of which was in the beginning of the 20th century. Russian Avant-garde is notable for its radicalism, passion, spiritual and art revolution, also for its aspiration for attaining excellence, and the culmination point at the top of aesthetic enjoyment.

 

For these release design, there was used the artwork of Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) "Image with Arrow",

 

1928. Kandinsky was the founding father of the Russian abstractionism, who makes the human soul vibrate, just as a magnificent Habano made "Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga"- Totally by hand with Long Filler, after a careful selection of wrapper, filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo* area, in the Pinar del Rio* region, considered to be the best tobacco-growing land in the world.

This just fires up my resentment. VR Clasicos were on my top 10 list until they were discontinued. I actually have some 2007s left, but not a jar-worth.

I don't know what this is selling for, but I'm not buying it.

only 80 made and distributor already sold all stock. The author and mover of this project got 40 of them and distributor got 40. Each LCDH got 3 jars, each specialist gor only one.

In addition, boxes that were not used to create these jars also went on sale. So everyone can choose: buy a dress box or a jar
