Nice!!!..when u gettin these in Pres????

[oliverdst]

Petit piramides have become one of my favorite vitola.

I hope they come in a good regular production, without the #2 up's and down's.

Well going on other cigars announced at the Habanos Festival in February......sometime between November and next festival....or never

[Hafner32]

It will be interesting to see where these are priced at especially in comparison to the No. 2s

[Lant63]

I will be very disappointed if they are priced higher than the 2's. I'd bet somewhere around 180 USD.

[dicko]

They look good. Sometimes a torpedo is too big

[Larsy]

Holy photoshop! Hope these are good!

I do like the Petit Piramide size, from the Regional Edition releases. Hopefully the Petit No. 2 will be winner. Looking forward to these.

lol

those cigars look as real as these legs.....

[Diamondog]

Robusto sized, nice!

[Blakes]

Only problem I see with these is given the already huge inconsistences in the Monte 2 alone adding another similar/same blend cigar that will probably a very good seller in its own right, which vitolas going to suffer??

Still i'm looking forward trying them.

[garbandz]

Problem #2.........calling it a petit #2 instead of a belicoso.

Like calling a cigar a petit churchill,or a short churchill...........seeing a pattern here..............

[jstilly1]

I feel as if this somehow diminishes the standard No. 2...I mean, isn't the whole point of a cigar to take the time to relax and enjoy it, not to fill already occupied time with something else or to try and cram a cigar into a small time slot in an already too-busy day? I don't mean to make it sound like I wouldn't be interested in having a box or two--seeing as how fitting two boxes into a desktop humidor wouldn't be that difficult--but aren't these smaller cigars becoming somewhat diminutive to the passion proper?

[DrunkenMonkey]

Who cares what they call it? There are exactly two variables that matter:

1. Is it a good cigar?

2. What will they cost?

[frenchkiwi]

Love belicoso-ish format cigars - not enough standard production habanos in this vitola

Name is silly

Won't buy it unless it's priced roughly size-proportionate relative to other standard montes.

Better be an interesting blend because Edmundo, A, no.4 and no.2 can be divine in different ways.

[Duxnutz]

After all the craziness with short, long, fat, petite etc in the RyJ and Hdm lines I think the petite no.2 sounds perfectly fine. I for one am really looking fwd to these.

Lots of disappointment around the double Edmundo so hope these are better and were not seeing a repeat of the partagas E2 and D5

X2. No need for this stick IMO because the PE and nos # 4 and #5 already satisfy the quick smoke. But the bean counters know what they are doing here as I am sure it will be a huge commercial success. But for me it is a backwards step in habanos culture.

[dangolf18]

If these are priced at around $160, I might get a box.

[CaptainQuintero]

The price needs to be inline with the petit Edmundo and number 4

I see it differently: if the petit No.2 is to the No.2 what the Petit Edmundo is to the Edmundo, we will have a winner.

Hopefully your right.

I do find myself looking at new releases these days with a raised eyebrow. While Habanos can and still does make amazing cigars they do seem to have a high miss rate with new releases/LE's where what may have been seen as a good idea in the drawing room in reality falls short!
