Hottest cigar in the world right now?

[El Presidente]

If I had a waiting list it would be 200 deep on the Casilda right now. 

I was talking to the guys on Zoom this afternoon and I was recommending putting your hands on as many Trinidad Robusto Extra Travel Retail humidors that you can get your hands on at anything up to 20% above RRP. $800 ish. 

I suspect that within 3-5 they will quadruple in value and come close (if not surpass) Casilda prices today.

[Mr. Japan]

Prez,  my info says that Robusto Extra Travel Humidor will be 10.000 pieces....you really believe can go up like the Casilda?

 

I believe that can be an initial rush ...but on long term .....my 0,2 cents

Hermano, do you really believe that they have the capacity of pumping out  10,000 pieces at that quality level?

If they sell well. yes....maybe in a couple of years..or more ;-)

Do not forget the Talisman, first release and sold so well that they went for a second one.

Perhaps. However the Talisman is a plain wooden box. 

The Trinidad Robusto Extra Humidor is a work of art. They are pitching both at the same price point. 

I suspect they will wake up to themselves very soon as to how they have screwed up the maths on this one. 

[Mr. Japan]

That is also true. 

We will see.

So what?

I suspect half of all manufactured goods we use daily are Chinese made.

I actually wish they would get all their boxes and packaging made in China, then they would at least look as professional as most NCs.

I forgot to add;

and they would probably cost less too.

Agreed. 

The TRE Travel Retail humidor is very well made. Kudos to whoever manufactured them. They are certainly not cheap.  

One of the issues with them is that they are heavy and have an outer. I haven't seen a mastercase but suspect 14 boxes thereabouts. Talisman wold be close to 60 boxes (from memory). 

So the packaging is world class and a feature.  It is big and heavy to ship + a great cigar in the Trinidad Robusto Extra. 14 of them. 

How they pitched the talsiman and TRE Trinidad Robusto Extra at the same price is a complete mystery 

[La_Tigre]

No idea where to find one at this price level. We missed out on the 24:24.

Meanwhile, @El Presidente the Monte DE travel humidor gets zero love? What is the comparison in construction? Haven’t seen that one in person.
