Punch Nectares No. 50. Exclusivo Irlanda

[Ryan]

Yes, the launch will be June 22nd. These things usually start about 3 pm. We'll be kicked out of the venue at 11 pm.
The venue is House on Leeson Street. Dublin 2. About 10 minute walk from JJ Fox Grafton Street, Dublin
No dress code. But there will be pictures on social media.

There's a decent video on the homepage here which shows the smoking area at the back. Space for 200.

There'll be a meeting today or tomorrow where I'll have more details.
To be honest accommodation in June in Dublin is not cheap these days, but this trip can be done from the UK by flying in on a Sunday morning and out on the Monday. Though I know from experience, door to door from an address in London to any address in Dublin is 5-6 hours, even though the flight is only an hour. On a Sunday morning, Dublin city centre is 15 mins from the airport by taxi, 30 mins by bus. There is no train. Spring for a taxi (about 30 euros) if more than one of you.

You seem to state this a lot about Gib and other countries and it’s really not accurate. If it was just regarding RE and LE only please make it specific please!

Anymore info on timings?

Right then. 22nd June. Who's in?

All going well, the launch will be late Q2 or early Q3 2025. As soon as I have more info I’ll post here. There will be months of notice. Depending on numbers and interest I can organise a little show and tell in the basement of J.J. Fox Dublin for those coming. Some interesting cigars going back 100 years.

Been there & can confirm, amazing collection, had a smoke with Rob Fox too.

For full disclosure. There will be 1,400 boxes of 50. That is the plan. The way things are in Havana currently, no more than 66% of that total is expected to come to fruition.
Hoping to receive the first 20,000 cigars by end of Q2 next year.
400 of the 1,400 total boxes reserved for UK and other, non-Republic of Ireland, markets.
The boxes for the Irish market will ship with an extra insert with info and photos of the history of the Punch Néctares sub-brand, provided by yours truly (only three of the vitolas got a mention in the MRN book). This insert will be of the quality that it can be framed.
In future there will be a series of 10 humidors, each containing 2 cabinets of 50 cigars. I am already in discussions with the humidor maker in Havana and have introduced him to the artist for the humidor art and inserts. That will be very nice, "celebrating the shared history between Cuba and Ireland". That humidor will not be cheap but to be honest, the main aim for those humidors is commemoration, not profit.
The current goal, and there are a lot of unknowns, is to keep the price (in Ireland anyway) at 2,500 euros for the cabinet of 50. Albert will probably be cheaper and best of luck to him. There are very few cigar people I love more than Albert. UK duty-paid prices will probably be higher for various reasons.
There will be a launch in Dublin next year, planning for this began at a meeting on Wednesday. The launch will make a 5-figure loss. I hope that is hint enough for some members here to make the trip over the water! Would be great to meet some of you. For some of you, again. First time for others.

Seems like a great excuse to head to one of my favourite places. Keep us posted, very interested.

After years of discussion and negotiation, (some of which, I can take the blame for), these were finally discovered in the wild at La Corona factory yesterday, the first Regional cigar for Ireland. More details hopefully soon.

Excellent work Ryan, let's hope it's an affordable price on release.

Any rough idea on the launch month in Dublin? Would love to attend, possibly drag my brother along too

Been twice this year and I can confirm that's not the case

Paid £11 each for Dipp 2 for an example 😉😆😉

Yes but those are not UK regionals 😎
- be absolutely sure regionals and LEs will have UK £ price tag
