Yep, saw this coming last year based on the lists. 

I always wondered when I could get the medicore Regalias in 5s and pay 3 times the price! The day has finally come.

I guess they forgot they had a model called Kings in Marevas that would have fit much better in the line...did HSA forget they still make the Regalias? I think someone needs to tweet HSA a link to CCW or send over a copy of MRN. What's next, Linea Retro Monte 4?

One expensive tin. $25 for the tin, $25 for the cigars...

Yup, a friend of mine send me a picture yesterday from a LCDH in Germany, almost €40 for a tin of five. Way overpriced, but not quite as much as P. Capitols and R&J Club Kings.

Sorry for the bad pictures, seems like he was in a rush? The only thing I like is the slightly curved shape of the Upmann tin, a little bit like a flask.

Cheers, Leif

I think the price of the others have come down a bit to around $45. I'm sure these aren't moving that well. Knowledgeable smokers are going to balk at the price and they're not that great so while they might try them they won't re-buy. These are really going to be duty free specials. Gift/novelty. Tourist purchases.

Now, adding the Regalias to the line might be the dumbest thing HSA has ever done and that's saying something. At least the other two are technically new models with throwback names. Good grief, just call these things Kings. The name is available and ready to be reused. Stick Regalias in there if you want but for god's sake don't call them that. Come on HSA.

Bah! I'd buy one of each just to have them in the collection.

Unfortunately they can’t drop the prices in Germany for Capitols and Club Kings. Once the cigars have been taxed by the government no change in price is allowed, neither down nor up! But hey, there’s always FoH?

I'm actually seeing them at 399 euro/50 at some vendors. Unfortunately, you are stuck in Germany. But it works out when prices are rising!
