Joebloee Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 On 2/15/2023 at 2:44 AM, NSXCIGAR said: The new prices didn't take effect until around Jan 23. In mid-Jan the price for RyJ WC 25s would have still been $408.75. See above. Went from $370 to $400 around Jan 23. It is possible there was some delay in some shops adjusting the pricing until last week. For example I still saw a few boxes with early 2022 pricing in September a full 2 months after the major hike on June 11. Thanks for the explanation. Hopes it was the last hike... I paid 187.50USD$ for a box of RyJ WC 25s before the Covid-19 in december 2019.😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scott1256ca Posted February 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2023 Just got back from Varadero yesterday. Prices in the cuba price list 2023(2) pdf seemed to be in effect where I looked. 2 LCDH in Varadero quoted higher prices but if you argued they'd likely drop. The other store was spot on. Selection was terrible. The one with accurate prices had the best selection and it still wasn't very good. I went to 2 LCDH in Havana. The first one had nearly no stock of anything except siglo VI, and I'm not a Cohiba fan. The second LCDH I went to had pretty good selection, which was a relief because I was beginning to think I'd struggle to bring home good cigars. Everything I got had a date code of late 2022, mostly December. one November. Last year things were at least a year old. So I think they have rocketed through stock. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current productions will get at least one increase a year of relatively "nominal" amounts and new releases will continue to be much more expensive compared to previous years new releases to help condition us for the more frequent current production increases. Then, if they slowly eliminate a few current productions each year they'll be able to replace the terminated lines with an egregiously priced "new release" the following year. They can probably step up the msrp pricing substantially over a large portion of the whole catalogue in a few short years. Some suspect the NC market does this already and perhaps even diverts choice tobaccos to new release production to help influence consumer perceptions of price/quality. Viva la revolution! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will be "incremental" and they'll keep some standards and "benchmarks" around till the accountants tell them it's more profitable to change or drop a line. They might even fall into the NC trend and just start naming new stuff based on a random selection because making something up sometimes sells.... The Mao ZaeVlad Bohemios Hipster seems likely. What's the lifecycle of an avid cigar customer that cares enough to notice? .... In 10-20 years they'll be few botls that remember the HUP PC or who care enough about brands that we currently consider mainstays. I think 30 years ago people favored candela wrapped NCs and now I wouldn't even know who makes a good one (if it's possible to make good butter wrappers). Remember when Hummers were called H1s and were made by not GM? We lamented the destruction of a military icon, and then the ruin of the GM hummer when it became the Hummer mini. And now it's back for the e-gen with launch control and zero 50cal turrets. Or when the current bronco sport was released as the first Ford Escape before it was castrated into cuckold car submission before being rebranded as a bronco "sport" with near identic stats a square body? They have to kill the legacies so they can be reborn for new generations without having to actually make something new or better. A new segment of sheep will be always be available for the fleecing. I'm strapping in an trying to enjoy the ride as much as possible. The cigars may change but I love cigar smokers and cigar friends. You're clearly more well - smoked than I am..... I have to look up at least two of those abbreviations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladdraq Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I'm in Cuba now, new resort, no cigars only Guantanameras, 11$ each. The extra anejo Santiago is 47$ the 12 years Old is 60$, the logic here is Cuba being Cuba. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDB Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I’ve just been through Frankfurt airport. The only CCs on sale (apart from some shorts) were: That’s €820 for a box of Reyes, and €1200 for Coloniales. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're making plenty of money at standard prices which are basically Cuba prices. I really hope nobody buys at that price. Pretty much the same in Cuba. Trini and Cohiba I-IV floor to ceiling. Last month was the first time I ever saw Siglo V cabs on multiple shelves there. And sitting they were. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
