Greeting Senor Pedro (again, kool name)

Beautiful box of bangers. I was wondering...what does the "Extra" stand for?? I'm stuck with a few sublimes from '04, but without the "Extra."

[Stevieboy]

wow! Are you sure you're a 19 year old student? Lol . I could barely afford a pack of cigs as a student never mind a ?2000 box of cigars :-)

it's measuring 54 gauge by 183mm where as the 04EL has 154mm

yea hehe well I guess I spent all my money on cigars, and saved as much as possible from other spendings. to be honest, I have no plan to smoke these cigars but to keep them as my collection

by the way, I have known that they are much more expensive in UK compare to other parts of Europe. La Casa in Teddington has quoted 1500 pounds to me, whereas they sell for 999 euros in Luxembourg and Milan, bought it for 1050 euros in Paris

That's what she said!

Wanna' make a trade?

Holy crap. That's a huge difference. Do you know of any Lux online dealers?

Sublime Extra.

Pedro han,
I looked for these after they were released in April 2008, but i think they were only supplied in certain markets and as you say they were in very limited supplies.Outstanding purchase and definately a classic.They are the eigth release in the Especial serie and probably the ones which most collectors would like to have.Well done, outstanding buy.

true, it will be very collectable, plus a good investment. They are very hard to find in any place, they were only available at La Civatte and A la cave in Paris. There're rumours, from my chinese friends, that Habanos has only distributed 30 Books to Asia & Pacifics, which in my opinion, is the second biggest market after Europe. Can't stop to wonder where the rest have gone to, and can't stop thinking perhaps Habanos have kept most of them, and planning to release slowly again when the economic crisis is over

Pedro han,thats a valid point and has certainly been the case in the past with some of the limited editions which came onto the market (Cohida Pyramid 2006 and MC C limited edition), even some of the 2008 LE were only released to certain markets a couple of months after initial release.Not sure if this is down to Habanos or the distributors but it is something to bare in mind.
