Cohiba LE?s

[PeeJay]

Crazy the way cigars are priced even if I could afford it no way would I spend that kind of money on a Cuban.

You wouldn't want the flack I got from MLW for buying my one! Had to say it was to smoke at my son's wedding next year.

I saw on Facebook over in Gibraltar there are ?440 for a box of 10 which is a bit more reasonable. Especially at the prices they are selling for.

As with everything ... something is only worth whatever someone is willing to pay. The domestic price for these sticks is genuinely gob smacking... but then i've been nothing but astounded by prices in general for a while.

If you look at a couple of the online retailers (no names remember the rules!) they launch RE LE at release prices, then as markets move they bump up and bump up. Typically an RE 10 box of petit robustos or similar sell for c60-80euro.... then they creep up to 90-110 euro within a calendar year. After that the price just keeps going on according to market demand until they are all sold out. Try getting FdC Casanovas .... I bought two half boxes from a B&M in Rome so have a composed box, in September last year, for 99 euros. Not sure how much above rate that was but it felt like it had been bumped a little.

ERDM Petit Robustos RE Spain... first price they hit the market at was c65 euros I think... now if you can find a box they are ?90-110. I appreciate that this is now in the territory of a box of these per Talisman... but it indicates the nature of the market.

Habans SA have cottoned on here hence the reservas, gran reservas etc etc... fuelling the demand for the aged, exclusive and so forth. Wonder what happens if you age the already aged.... madness I suspect.

I was recently quoted $700 for a 25 box of Don Jose Ecsepcion (which I have never mastered spelling!!!) in no right mined world is that an appropriate price. A view I shared candidly with the source as they are still (just about) available in Italy at market rate. Just gotta find em.

I bought a box of Talisman via a buddy here, and I want to keep & smoke them. But candidly I would sell it at the right price. I have the same pressures as any normal bloke and god forbid the balloon going up, but if it does they go on the market to the person who wants them badly enough. I hope that i am lucky enough to get to smoke them on high days and holidays..... that and the other treasures I have collected.

Lets not go down this route again please

Apologies I didn’t realise I’d broken the forum rules, I wasn’t asking for someone to sell me some. I was just interested if they were really worth ?80 as I was considering adding them to my next Cgars order, at which point Martyn kindly offered to sell me a couple.

Wonder if prices would come down if nobody bought cigars at silly prices behike 56 ?110 a pop

They probably would...but in the UK we have silly people who will pay these prices.

The Cohiba 1966 is ?180 at cgars, at that price I couldn’t contemplate smoking it.

Has anyone tried it?

I paid similar for BHK54 and Robustos Supremos. They’re not quite to 1966 heights yet but I suspect the Supremos will get there.

Well it’s essentially the same with wine. If you can buy and afford to buy AND DRINK a case of 1947 Mouton, by all means do so. Some folks have the resources to do that and why shouldn’t they. But if you just buy it to have it boasting in your cellar I couldn’t care less. Me however, I’ll stick to the super value back country virtuoso wines at less than 30 ? a bottle. They are there to find.
