QdO Senadores launch party on the 12th of September

[gojira]

The QdO EL will be launched in a couple of weeks. They should be released on the French market not too long after that.No idea when they will arrive in the rest of the world. The price announced is ?495 per box. Yikes! That should give us an idea about the new EL prices. I would say that's roughly ?100 more expensive than what these would have cost a year ago. Is it because of the fancy box? I have hope that they will be cheaper in other countries since Qdo cost roughtly 25% more in France than in the neighboring countries.

Would love to go to the launch party but I fear that my good connections here in France aren't good enough, lol! I will however send an innocent message to my favourite retailer, who knows, it might work.

I read the launch party is a river cruise on the Seine, sounds great! Hope you manage to blag a place Mike. You could always say you're a reporter for UKCF.

Yes it's a river cruise. Very tempting! I just sent a text to my retailer and they told me that they were invited but sadly they didn't extend the invitation to me, lol! Doesn't really matter since I don't own a suit anyways!

?495 is pretty steep for an EL.
What size are they Mike?

Shame you couldn't get to the launch party Mike. Be interesting to see what they're like.

I would have loved to Rob. It's in two weeks, that leaves me a little time to try and get an invitation. For the past QdO releases they handed out little presentation boxes. Wouldn't mind adding one of those to my stash.

Yes, lovely little collectors items from the launch parties. I think you need to lean on your retailer....pop in and refuse to leave the store until he agrees to take you along

Ouch, about €150-€200 overpriced. Although I’d have liked to have tried them I’m out at that price, I’ll stick to the Coronas.

[Deano]

I think I'll miss these - I'm over for two weeks from the 6th but can't see them getting to the retailers in time. Anyway, too expensive for moi!

[Vitola]

Wow! Mike they do sound pricey for an LE- but there again we're only here once

25% uplift just for not being French? thats ridiculous! 495 is punchy.... too punchy for me!

I think that they are over priced by €4 per stick. We'll see if they will be cheaper (as I suspect) in other countries. But I will get a box in France just to stay high on my retailers "favourite customer list".

But it could also be those fancy new boxes, we'll see when more information about the Monte and the RA will be released.
