Has anyone seen the new Partagas P1 Black Jars at their local dutyfree or retailer?

Title should say Partagas P1 (edit)

Just wondering. I see online that it won some sort of 'best of' Duty Free award...But I have yet to see them for sale. I like the looks of the jar and think that the new Byron line of jars are going to be a big hit. The color and detail in the Upmann Mag jar that came out last year is great...as is the plastic 'o' ring that replaces the old school cork top seals that have been found up until now.

Later

No sign of them yet Mike, I think general release to mainstrean retailers was postponed till later this year.

Ask Robusto....he'll bore you at length about the P1 LOL

They were scheduled for the first quarter of 2010 but I have not heard a peep. And I've been listening. Anyone got a pic of the jar? I remember seeing it somewhere before and it looked very nice indeed.

Any mention on Trevor's site? He might know, or maybe cbob?

I looked for them in Heathrow on wednesday, Barcelona on thursday and will have a look in Malta on Thursday next week, but Ajay at teddington was pretty sure they aren't around yet.

Are there likely to be any in Cuba when they are released? I have a pal who will be out there in a few weeks but I don't know if these will just be for other markets.

Yeh, can't wait for these...

Pre-ordered mine back last year, same time I purchased the H.Upmann (46) jar...

Cheers, HabanoSy

I checked for these in a few duty free shops I passed recently (Heathrow, Stockholm, Oslo and Amsterdam) but no sign. One of the shopkeepers in Amsterdam mentioned they think it's going to be a few months still.

Anyone got any idea how much they'll be ?
Can we get them in Cuba
I'm in cuba in April and will make a space in the case for these if the price is right !
