OZCUBAN Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Absolute Classic, What we come to expect from FOH life shouldn't be taken to seriously Shame about the cigar one would expect better from Vega robaina Looking forward to the next one I think the PL En canto's have the ingredients to be something special ,just a gut feeling i have. And Smithy you do know that they give out Oscars for post production Editing and alike ,you should put in a nomination Still good work Boys, always entertaining Cheers OZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalebread Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 fantastic video! really surprised though; my maestros have been great!maybe a duff box....? I'll need to revisit, but so far this cigar has been right up there for me. Exactly. I've really enjoyed this cigar so far. My box is Sept '07. But how much difference could a couple of months possibly make? Now I'm curious and will have to revisit the box soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 :P KG brings up the point - REs should be......... Really what should they be, what are expectations? To me, simply a size not normally found in the line, with no expectation of higher quality, or a better cigar. They are what they are.......

To me, simply a size not normally found in the line, with no expectation of higher quality, or a better cigar. They are what they are....... I have to say, my expectations are a bit higher. RE's are at a higher price point than regular cigars in the same format. Therefore, my expectations are higher. Also, there is a kind of "collector" feel to these, which allows Habanos S.A. to price them accordingly... but they need to know that my expectations match their asking price.

Also, there is a kind of "collector" feel to these, which allows Habanos S.A. to price them accordingly... but they need to know that my expectations match their asking price. Ahhhh, but therein lies the rub. I agree with Colt on this one. I believe you're a bit mistaken in your presumptions - you state, "RE's are at a higher price point than than regular cigars in the same format." The thing is - there are no regular cigars in the same format, generally. The RE stuff takes a certain marque, and then offers a format/vitola that isn't actually available in the regular lineup. There isn't a regular robusto available, say, for Por Larranaga? Then, shazam!!! (always wanted to say that!) H S.A. then decides to offer a PL robusto as an RE, and offers it for limited sale/release. Yes, I agree that the "collectibility factor", so to speak, does lead to H S.A. pricing these higher, right or wrong as many of us may see that. But, unlike the EL's, there's no specially aged tobaccos used in the RE stuff, so there shouldn't really be any higher of an expectation of performance. These are simply limited runs, of uncommon formats for certain marques - that's all. And just because H S.A. prices these higher due to collectibility, doesn't mean that performance necessarily has to be up there. That's up for you as the consumer to decide, if they meet your wishes. But to expect that they'll perform better is a bit of a blind way of going into things, don't you think? Just my two cents, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holysmokes Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I still expect the more expensive product to be of better quality. I agree that this is not always the case. That being said, I also agree that it's to each consumer to decide. My issue lies in the following. When people pay a premium on items due to brand, collectability etc. I can't blame them for having higher expectations. How would you justify the price hike? Simply saying that "here's is a vitola that doesn't exist within our regular production" does not cut it for me. This being said, here's how I feel about RE (in general) Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. (I hope Mr. Bush is taking notes) Just my opinion.
