Who here has seen one in the flesh?

Who has smoked one? 

Was this the funkiest habanos release ever?

Is it a motorsports cross branding? Sure looks like one.

Audi Sport it looks like. I've never heard of this. I love it. Did a quick search of an Audi forum I read and haven't found a mention of it yet.

I think the RS is for Robusto Superior. I can't find any reference or association with any particular motorsports company or group. I was thinking perhaps there was a F1 race in Andorra that year or something but no. Obviously Maori Tabacs requested it. Maybe someone will shoot them an email as to what the idea was. 

I would definitely put these up as maybe the funkiest packaging ever.

Are these robustos different than the PL German Robustos of around the same era?

Tabacuba…

.…. F’k tobacco! Too hard to grow. Too hard to store and too easy to steal.

Lets make boxes instead!

They have been road tested.

The pictures of full shelves and mentions of old stock bring tears to my eyes....
