Monte 2 Gran Reserva's

[gibbleguts]

Well these have landed here in Canada finally and are about 30% cheaper then the Cohiba's were. Just wondering if these have landed any where else and how the pricing is looking. I will be waiting till I go to Havana to pick them up as even buying at cost in Canada it's not a great price.

What's the retail in Canada? Thinking about picking up one or two just to have in the humi for a special occasion.

Retail in Alberta is going to be right around $100 a stick. Depending on how much value they were able to assign to the humi it comes in will determine Ontario pricing as this should be more there.

opeyes: That's just crazy money! Sorry but even if I had around $100 to blow it wouldn't be on one stick. It may be great, even fantastic, but still...$100!?
Sorry but I just can't see it.:eyequiver

The price is a little ridiculous IMO, I don't care how good the cigar is. I can get a whole box of TPC's for that kind of money.

Meh, I work so that I have money to spend on things I enjoy. House, car, cigar, alcohol, etc. And once in a while, I like going out to a fancy restaurant, spend a little extra on wine, a finer cut of meat, etc. So the thought of spending an extra bit of coin on a fancy cigar for a special occassion seems palatable to me. I might treat myself and pick one up. As long as I can convince b2 to do it too...

That pretty much sums up the entire 'hobby' of cigar smoking to me right there. Well said Wilfredo

Smoked a couple already and shared a few as well. When there was a big scam on another site I sent some to a couple of guys to prove the fakes were fakes. I love the cigar and will be picking some up but in Havana not at Canadian prices.

There was a lot of people including from here getting ripped off and as far as I could tell I was the only one with a guaranteed authentic example with provenance to go with it. The guy was exploiting the fact that people knew they existed but couldn't get examples to compare against.

Agreed, unfortunately I don't think I'll be seeing any of these in Varadero when next I go

 

[Pooh Bore]

Shaun, you need to get a taxi for the day and head to Havana to tour the custom rollers !

I trust unequivocally without a doubt the provenance of my one and only that I've been sitting on since November-ish. Looking forward to lighting this on my birthday.

From the sounds of it I will not be disappointed

How far away is that? I have some special sticks I'm also saving for the special day.
