Punch Nectares No. 50. Exclusivo Irlanda

[Ryan]

And tickets for the launch event have just gone on sale. I presume it's OK to post the link here as it's for an event, not cigars and no shipping involved.

There are no plain boxes here. There aren't the logistics for doing that. The cigars have their bands covered with plain bands. If you come from the UK to buy cigars here, to bring them back to the UK, you'll be able to leave the shop with cigars and original boxes. There may be the usual health warning stickers on the boxes. We're aiming to design an insert for the boxes sold in Ireland describing the history of the Punch Nectares sub-brand.

Cheers pal. Thanks for clearing that up

[Ryan]

Do we know what the cigars will be?

I'm afraid it's looking like one Nectares No. 50 and one Punch 48. That's a retail value of about 100 euros. I would have preferred two Nectares No. 50 but not sure if the stock will be in Ireland for that.

Cheers Andy

Does that mean Eire will be plain boxes and the UK will be bonny boxes? Apologies if I'm not understanding.
My plan is to reserve some and come to Dublin and collect. Plain boxes might dull my collector's excitement though....

It's looking like tickets for the event will be 100 euros but some drinks included, food (BBQ), cigars and band. Event starts at 3 pm and the venue will kick us out at 11 pm. I'll post a link here for the ticket purchase when it goes up in a week or so.

Will these come with plain bands and plain boxes?!? I looked at JJ's Dublin site and the cigars are all in plain bands

Cigars for export outside of Ireland are not be plain packaged. These will go on sale in the UK too. As part of the deal, Hunters are reserving some for the UK market but UK sale will be delayed until later in the year. Also they'll be cheaper in Ireland given the tax differences. The price difference on a box of 50 could buy a cheap weekend in Dublin..

Sounds fab. The Sunday date has I think made it hard for me to get there. Enjoy if you go

[Simon Bolivar]

Sounds a grand event, sure it'll be a blast!

[liles]

Well I have provisionally booked some accommodation - so I'm in

[Ryan]

Any ideas on ticket price?

To be decided. But around 80 euros. That will get you some whiskey, food, and either two singles of the Irish regional or one Irish regional and one or two other cigars. Depends how many cigars have landed in the country by then! I'm not shilling for Fox (honestly!) but I do know the event will make a loss. As a launch event should.

Also, nearly forgot. For rugby fans. Lions vs Argentina in the Aviva Stadium (Lansdowne Road, about 20 min walk from venue) at 8 pm on Friday 20th. Good news : "kill two birds", bad news: this will probably have affected hotel rates.
