New cigar on anyone's wish list?

[gojira]

I have only had the Portugal RE the Chiado that was given to me from my Secret Santa and really enjoyed the flavours, so I made a little promise that this year i would venture and sample their regular production 1 + 2's!

I know they have quite the following, and i feel like i am missing a good experience!

Try seeking out a box or a few singles of the PC. They have been discontinued but you still can find boxes.

only problem is if you like it...you have to spend silly amounts to try obtain a box..I did the same with the Trini Rob t and T extra...really enjoyed them and found out they were discontinued and paid silly prices for a box...now i treasure them

Is not yearning for the unattainable the foundation of celebrity?

Nah, when I was in Germany last month I saw boxes available at retail. It's a cigar that never really sold and I'm pretty sure that one can find boxes in Spain as well.

On a serious note, this year I would really like to try more of the Juan Lopez range, and I want to get my hands on the H. Upmann Connoisseur B when they're released...

Some interesting JLs in the auction catalogue just released by our sponsor, except all are 'not for export to the UK'!

That sounds like it should be the sort of wisdom people will hike ten days to a mountain top for!

So next time you're in Germany ...........

True - i would go even further and say Desire is one of the cornerstones of a consumerist society, and advertisers certainly use it as a tool to make us feel we NEED TO TRY THIS NEW THING!!!

That's good to know...

But for me generally I just don't see the point trying discontinued cigar unless it's a rare or a cigar is 20 odd years.

But that's me.. I'd rather try stuff that I'll be able to enjoy more frequently.

JL is another marca I need to sample more off same as [MENTION=13462280]thedame007[/MENTION] only had RE one last year.

I will go back in the Summer. Just drop me a PM when you see me posting about going to Germany and I'll fetch you a box (if there are any left of course ).

i have a few Robusto T-Extra... picked up from a spanish vendor a couple of years back. I think they are pretty tasty.

Yeah. First auction is ALL for non-EU i think!

How do we get in on this non-EU game again.....?

I never had one. It's one of those cigars that I decided I can live without given the price they go for. They did a special box for the French market last year with two gold band Fundis and two of the Robusto but sold them for around €100. I didn't pull the trigger which I regret now, but only because of the Fundis.
