Title: What's the deal with this box?
Post by: Silverstix on 07/24/2017 03:25 PM

My dad gave me this box about 10 years ago (after he smoked them all  :angry: ).  Is this Partagas release really "limited"?  Does this box have any significance? I have a card that came with the box and it has information on it that would indicate this box is numbered....??

I always used it to store special sentimental stuff.  It's a really heavy box, closes magnetically, this thing is solid!!  I'll hang onto it forever and probably pass it on to my son when he's older....just wanted to see what I had on my hands here.

The top says: "Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 1995"

Front says: "Lot: DI-0605" 


Thoughts?

What I found was that they were made in 2005 using 10 year old tobacco and it was a limited release. You can still buy singles apparently. These are Dominican too, not Cuban. I assume it says that someplace on the box.

Thanks for this, yes inside lid says DR.  The box is beautiful, it's really heavy and solid.  I wonder how the smokes were?  Might have to pick a couple up for my dad and it.....$16.50 a pop for a robusto!  :-0

I don't think they were very cheap when they were released, might be worth it if they've aged well though.

The box does look really nice. Depending on the seal maybe it could be used as a small humidor, not sure it'd be worth the hassle for 15-20 sticks but looks nice.

They are a good cigar. Are they worth 16.50 each? Have to figure that out for you're self.

Don't know if I'll be plopping down $16 in the very near future, but cool to know they are a limited type of thing.....for me it kind of adds to the intrigue of the box.
