Excellent! Email sent to Lisa. Do these only come in SLBs of 25?

Wow! It's more expensive than CoRo.

I expect your review will be very fine.

[TexaSmoke]

Claudius I agree...I have been waiting for the release of the Trinidads. :-D

One thing about Rob, if it is a great cigar, it will get a great review. But to his credit, if it sucks, he will tell us that too.

[yossie]

Yeah, He is a honest guy.

But even so, I cannot purchase it in box for the price..

[greenpimp]

I was actually thinking that the prices were rather fair and reasonable, compared to other vendors and what I was expecting. Of course the scale of fair and reasonable has been exploded by Habanos the past few years.

Slightly above a box of Coros seems a fair price.

Of course I have obviously drunk the coolaid.:-)

Why not? Don't you live in the second richest country in the world?

That's interesting; why does PCC do this?

You know, All of american don't have money as Bill gates does.

It's the same reason. Of course, I can buy it but I would choose the others like sir winnie with the budget.

I have to admit that in the beginning when I joined here, I couldnt understand how reviews from Rob could be taken seriously as he is judge and jury so to speak. But I kept reading and realised that his reviews were absolutely spot on and that I (and other, much more experienced smokers) found the same aromas and impressions in the cigars as the ones he mentions in his reviews, that the cigars he said are smokable now are indeed smokable now, etc.. I realised that Rob is a very gifted reviewer and a very good photographer. I can only assume that he has understood that honest reviews of cigars, although they may slow sales on specific vitolas in certain cases, are the way to go to build long-term relationships on trust.

Just kidding, my friend :-) I agree these are highly priced for robustos (to say the least). I consider them more like a collector's item than an every day smoke, of course, so it it "reasonable" in the sense that it is within reason, not too far off (not like a PC for 520 USD, for example ;-) :-D)

In a world without walls and fences, who needs windows or gates?

I would like to purchase the cigar in single on sales.

I really expect the cigar after tasted PLPC.

in the view of collection, I have big space to gather regular items for aging.

LE and RE is after that.

Haha,The Monte #4 reserva is surelly too expensive. I guess The D4 reserva was much more resonable.:-(

in the world, People still want the fruit?

[Colt45]

» Haha,The Monte #4 reserva is surelly too expensive.

And that's for twenty cigars! I think I'm with you on this one Yossie - a nice box of Sir Winston's

works for me.

I agree it is expensive. Again you need to keep in mind how much the USD has dropped since the release of the Partagas D Reserva.

Than you for the comment Claudius.

Let me make it clear in case anyone had any doubt. When I review a cigar I am not a vendor. I am a cigar lover. I post it as I see it, good bad or indifferent and I do so because as a forum member I am bound by the code of Honesty, Fraternity. Laughter, Loyalty.

And a stand up guy.:-) Your honest reviews are one of the main reasons I love this site.

[Cubatabaco]

Email sent! Thank you very much, Rob!

They did the same with the 2006 Regional Releases.

Their reasoning is that they commit to a rollout of say 120,000 Regional Release cigars. It is a cigar for their market so they can control the release and the pricing to ensure a decent financial return. The cigar is not available to parallel importers so discounting can only occur through their own channel of dealers. That is easy to stop...discount and you are out of the loop. Looking for Regional Release allocations next year?.....no dice. Looking for LE or vintage cigars....no dice.

They have you by the short and curlies ;-)

To their credit we are involved in the selection process for future RR as well as the pricing process. To be honest I think that they have their pricing spot on with this RR. It is a premium limited release product. It is still affordable. While we cannot do singles at this stage by February/March it shouldn't be a problem so no-one should have to miss out entirely. If I can bring the singles on earlier then I will but we need to clear our box orders first.

Having been around awhile -- I agree that Rob calls them as he sees them.

Well, the price isn't as bad as I was expecting.
