Che Cigars Elie Bleu

[Kdot]

Has anyone seen the Red Che humidor by Elie Bleu?

It comes with a bunch of "che" branded cigars. I've heard of this cigar before but only came across a picture today. There doesn't seem to be much info regarding it on line. Does anyone know the story behind it?

The original Che release had some (apparently) great custom Cuban smokes in it. I don't know if the gold key is standard or this was a one off.

The sticks go for big money (think ?50-?100 per stick) if you can find them.

There have recently been a so-called re-release of these that are nowhere near the same as the original and not to be confused.

Rarer.

Sorry Kdot, never seen that one before mate. Rarer than hens teeth I would imagine.

Those who have smoked both the originals and the so-called release (sold by Mitchell Orchant) will tell you that they have nothing in common, except the band.
I have smoked a robusto, which was a good strong cigar but certainly not worthy the premium asked?

As for the commissioner of the original humidor+cigars, it's probably an other UK merchant but it seems to be hard to get solid info?
