Ask any questions you may have folks and I will get back to you from inside the humidor. Laptop is at the ready!

Hi mate.

Why are the Monte D 2005 LE's being placed in an aged program?

Does this mean there is still stock around, enough to put away for a later time and how long are cigars which are selected for such programs being put away for?

All in all, when will I be able to buy me a box!

Mika the Monte D's were still around until recently. Never a great success internationally. I suspect PCC will release them in April 2010 as part of their Aged program (5 years) which will consist of cigars from 2005.

What I am really looking forward to is the release in 2011 of cigars from 2006

What is looking good in the Petit Corona/Mareva format currently? I particularly love the Bolivar PC, but have tried and liked most of the other popular PCs and am curious if anything is noteworthy.

Thanks!

Dumb question, so does PCC do that every year, release product that is 5 years old, etc etc? Is the Aged program an annual program?

I didnt see any releases from 2004 this year from them or did I just miss them?

Thanks,

Bart

Thanks for that Prez.

Talking about 2011 regarding cigars from 2006, what would be some of the 'MUST HAVES' in your opinion.

Hi Prez,

I was blown away by the quality of the standard Partagas 8-9-8's I received from you all a few months ago. I would love to see what a HQ or PSP box would look like, any chance you could dig one up?

Thanks for this service,

Micah

Trini Reyes, Partagas Shorts , Monte 5's, Dip 4.

I have found myself substituting Upman Magnum 48 for my normal Petit Corona's but that is an expensive habit to get into !LOL!

Connie 3's ...don't forget those

I think RASS was the first 06 cigar which switched on the lights that something special was going on.

Lets wait and see.

Bart we did do a PCC aged release this year in April from memory. Stock was a mix of 04/03 but predominantly 04.

Are you going to continue this "in the humidor" through next week?

I will do it whenever I am in Brisbane ( I am in Mon Tue next week). Smithy will do it when I am away.

[CigarmanTim]

Jim and I are dicussing the differences between the Party Lusi's and the 898's.....care to comment. I am considering an HQ or better box of the 898's

Lusi went to the best of finishing schools, she was always the apple of her fathers eye. Her brother 898 never finished school. He fought tooth and nail for where he is today at the pinnacle of his trade. Both are true quality, the fist (898) and the velvet glove (Lusi).

Wow....if that doesn't want to make someone buy some cigars's I don't know what will

[jquest63]

How do the Part shorts and PLPC's look?

It is true. The Lusi is a refined complex beauty. Especially unusual for a cigar of its' size.

The 898V is earthier. The difference between a refined lady and a ****. YMMV
