    My glass shows as delivered but is nowhere to be found. I hope it wasn't stolen..

    I know these are small, but does anyone know how many ounces they are?

    Also, are they purely collectible, or is there a practical use, and if so, what do you guys use them for?

    Got my mini snifter yesterday. Arrived in perfect condition, looks great.

    It's a taster glass, so you'd use it with a handful of other tasters if you were doing a tasting and didn't want to move, carry, and wash a bunch of full-sized glasses after only filling them with a couple ounces each.

    But in reality, mostly everyone will be using it as a collectible I'd bet.... because bare tasting glasses are cheap and easier to replace.



    That's happened to me twice and both times the package ended up being delivered the next day. I have no idea how it happens, but it can't hurt to call your local UPS and ask.

    I picked mine up today. Was told 500 silver snifters which is different than 2000.

    Was that just some guy at the counter? Cause Shira told me 2000, and when I called today since I still havent gotten my tracking the guy on the phone told me they have been doing 300 orders a day since last week so that wouldnt make cents... im inclined to believe Shira and the guy I spoke with today. Maybe a few more people need to call here and get some more answers.

    Just the guy at the counter. Looked like he had been drinking too much coffee.

    Please excuse my ignorance, but why does this matter?

    So we can figure out how many there was made, the rarity. And you are excused.

    Was anyone's snifter defected with faded graphics? I was disappointed to see that one was heavily faded while the other had no defects. I took a picture but I'm away from my phone and will have to upload it tomorrow. I wonder if DMC Has extra for exchanges.

    One of mine is missing the DM logo entirely. I hope there's a way of rectifying this.

    Yep, but it was listed as CHROME. Probably made it even more rare. Hell, when I saw that, I almost thought about throwing one up for $75.
