Lotusguy Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Worth the extra money and hunt?Lonsdales? I regret selling my last box when I needed Tax money...As for the Coronas, no idea since nobody has smoked one yet but the potential for appreciation is definitely there (combination of production number, size, brand, packaging, price). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is that some were rolled tightly. Apparently I was mistaken. For some reason I had it in my head that these were not well received. 06 was a long time ago! Good to know.

These are going to be extremely difficult to source, and undoubtedly very expensive if located. Auction is about the only shot these days and the last box that sold went for about 1,100 GBP: https://www.onlinecigarauctions.com/sold_lot_info.php?products_id=5509 Tremendous appreciation for a cigar that originally sold for about $220.

Popular Post Nino Posted September 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2018 Had the pleasure of smoking the new PL Corona 5ta Avenida ER today. Wow - honestly a great cigar, excellent burn, draw and taste right to the end, no bitternes, guess it will be even more fantastic in 5-8 years but it is already spectacular now. More intense and concentrated aromas than the PLPC, also a bit stronger but overall a gem to smoke. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right up there in terms of appreciation with the best of them. Who knew. Even the 07 ED 109 is only at about 400% at $2,200. These are at 600%+, right up there with the early Gran Reservas and Cohiba ELs. Just...wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, get these while you can fellas. 1,600 boxes is a decent allotment but Germany is a big worldwide retail region and if the cigar is as good as you indicate these will be scarce within a year.

Lotusguy Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Saw them at a well-known Internet retailer for 600 euro - briefly. Gone in a flash. I think they will appreciate in value very quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1600 Cabs - but NOT just for Germany but for 3 countries, Germany, Austria and Poland ... which is why it is called 5ta Avenida ER and not Germany ER.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derboesekoenig Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 How do you compare it to the recent PL Paises Bajos release? I've smoked a few of them...while they are good, i'd rather have a regular production 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahaha, good one Wish it was true, but no chance to get your hands on more than 1-2 Cabs and only if you're a good and loyal local customer. These Cabs don't fall from the sky and can be collected with a vacuum cleaner - fuggit it ... I am very happy to have received a few Cabs and to share a few singles with my friends - BTW : You wouldn't believe how many people suddenly remember me and write messages starting : Hello my friend ....? ? Fly to Germany ( or Austria, Poland ), hire a car and drive around hoping to find them ... Good Luck ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 First batch was gone in a flash. I barely managed to secure one cab through a friend. There will be more deliveries, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awkwardPause Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Good to hear about the PL Coronas. Was lucky enough to secure a cab, but damn I’d love another, so one cab can go to sleep in one piece while I binge smoke the other. Apparently I’m just never satisfied. ? Of course I’ll regret tearing through one of these cabs 10 years for now when it ends up being sold in auction for the cost of a year’s college tuition for my daughter. ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how they are that valuable. As an example, what from 2008 is even worth that much money over what it pulled MSRP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but won’t matter because I’m just going to rest them a while and burn through them anyway. Will be interesting to see if they age similarly to the other regular release PL that I’m so fond of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Interesting how Avenida RE is a combo not unlike Benelux. When the decision is made and one of the countries withdraws, the name will change and so might the blend? Perhaps no accident that the most RE action comes out of Spain where Habanos lives. My favorite RE’s are Belgium. Italy, Canada. The ones I do not like are Germany or Israel, or any RE short Robustos. I think that is a tourist trap, financially. Thank you for a fantastic thread!
