Yes, I stumbled across this yesterday while cruisin the swedish cigar retailers, but there´s is not much info outside sweden on these cigars.

http://www.brobergs.com/davbrob125.htm

I took the liberty to translate the info from Swedish to English for you guys:

-------------- Brobergs 125 Anniversary --------------

"We celebrate our 125th-year anniversary with this special cigar, made exclusively for the Swedish market".

"It has never happened before, that Davidoff produced a unique cigar for such a small market as Sweden. But due to their celebration of 125year they´ve decided to do just that.

"We Swedish people prefer cigars that are rich with alot of flavour, without being too powerfull too smoke, so this is why we at Brobergs, together with Davidoff, produced a cigar with a blend of huge flavor, but with a mild and smooth character. The lenght 125 mm, isn´t a reminder of our birthday, but it also creates conditions for a even character through the whole cigar.



"This anniversarycigar is being sold in boxes of 10 cigars or as singles.

"The Cigar contains a big portion of Ligero tobacco, which makes the taste very elegant and with a huge aromatic character with a pleasant smell."

Wrapper: Handpicked Ecuador Connecticut
Fillers: San Vicente
Binders: Piloto-ligero, San Vicente-ligero, San Vicente-seco, Olor-seco

Only 4000 cigars are available in Stockholm, Sweden. 1500 are singles
and the rest is in boxes...i.e. 250 boxes. They are going fast from what I
understand


Brobergs doesn´t ship outside Sweden and I thought that maybe I could help those who are interested in this?! I have no intention on making big $$$ on this, I´m just a BOTL looking out for his brothers and sisters in the jungle.

If I use http://www.xe.com/ucc/ I get these prices. I believe these prices are pretty high and are out of my range I think, but since it´s limited editions...anyways what do I know. :D

1 box with 10 cigars costs : 190.850 USD

1 single cigar costs: 20.5188 USD

Sabastion,if you want to trade for something you cant find in Sweden let me know...
YES!!!! I propose trading 68TriShield and Galaga for Swedish model Hannah Graaf. I pay postage.

What? Oh... cigars. Of course. Never mind.

Exception of Hannah, Swedes have it very tough. Taxes on politically and health incorrect things like beer, liquor and smokes are severe. Hey - the Absolut vodka producer in southern Sweden can't even show the famous logo outside the distillery due to Swedish liquor advertising restrictions.

Can you share the price of some other more garden-variety cigars in-country?

Could you post a few USD prices for some typical cigars in Sweden?
Ok sure thing:
-------------
* Bolivar Royal Coronas 25s : $290
* Cohiba Esplendidos 25s : $944
* Partagas Serie "D" No 4 25s : $351
* Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme 25s : $281

That is the retail prices we have to pay in the stores. There´s not many stores to begin with and the major ones doesn´t sell non-cubans.

If you still are interested in these let me know, I just called Brobergs and they told me that they still have these cigars.

PM me if you are serious about wanting to buy singles or a box.

I´m just doing this out of pure and simple kindness and I will not take any extra charges for the time and job I put into going out to purchase these cigars.

Yeah, tell me about it. Why do you think I never buy cigars directly from the store?? The only thing that we got better than you guys in US, is that Cubans are sold here and are legal. Other than that...prices on Cubans are high as **** and nothing else is sold here, so Opus X etc. aren´t available in stores if one were to crave those sticks.
