polarbear Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Does anyone have an insider info on what the next Asian RE is going to be? I heard whispers about a Diplo 109 but that sounds too good to be true
kwsaw63 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Heard the rumour about Diplo 109s as well. Would love it if it's true.
in0gravity Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 From what I know it will be a Diplomaticos 109 called Bushido. Packed in boxes of 25.

polarbear Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 Great Ive got time then Thanks for the info, lads
Overproof Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Taken from Trevor's Cuban Cigar Website. Pick from 17 brands for a release later in the year. "In 2005, Habanos S.A. introduced the Regional Edition (Edición Regional) Series.The ten worldwide premium Global and Niche brands are excluded from this series. This leaves the seventeen local and multi-local brands for these regional editions. As these brands are not promoted worldwide, this series was seen as an ideal marketing method to promote them. Despite this criteria, in 2007 a previously unheard-of brand, Edmundo Dante (a de-facto Montecristo) was released for Mexico.The series comprises special limited production cigars made exclusively for a regional market, and are available for a one or two year period. After this, Habanos has the right to add this cigar to the current production range. The cigars must be selected from current production vitolas that are not already available in that brand. Some of the newly introduced vitolas from the premium brands are also excluded.Each release is initiated by the Regional Distributor, who underwrite the setup costs. Some distributors have elected to reissue in the second year. Reissue cigars are identical but the box leaflet may have a statement "Its great acceptance encourages us to present this edition again..." or similar, depending on the country of distribution. Regional Editions currently now have a lifespan of 12 months, and have a minimum run of 25,000 cigars. They are usually released in August, September and October of each year.From 2012, there will only be one Regional Edition per Distributor."
Bartolomeo Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Not sure they come banded but a guy had a picture of them on IG recently
LordAnubis Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I don't know if it's just the photo but they look even worse than the cigars that i roll !!! If they look liek that, and if they are as expensive as people are predicting, they better taste absolutely amazing!!! 1

Just as an FYI, I don't know the IG poster but the heads are true to Conde 109 heads as they should be but rest of cigar doesn't look too pretty A friend guided me to the pic
shlomo Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 those look awful. Dry, cracked, splitting feet, veiny....bleh
samuelsmithbeer Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I've seen Jose Piedras that look better than those.
santela Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 If they all look like that I won't be jealous of whoever wins the blind tasting competition.
polarbear Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Cigars aside, it's nice to see the Diplo band on somthing other than a #2 for a change 2
santela Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Cigars aside, it's nice to see the Diplo band on somthing other than a #2 for a change I'm still kicking myself for missing the #2 during the xmas sale.
shlomo Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I'm still kicking myself for missing the #2 during the xmas sale. What was the sale price?
santela Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 What was the sale price? Don't remember exactly, but I think it was about $245 for PSP.
shlomo Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Its 246.42 regular price right now on *****int.
polarbear Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Its 246.42 regular price right now on *****int. LFTW price for PSP Diplos is around the $270 mark
santela Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Its 246.42 regular price right now on *****int. Yup, but those are PE...
shlomo Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Yup, but those are PE... No, those are a random mix from what I remember.
Maplepie Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I still remember how ludicrous this sounded. 25x 109s... I wonder what the intense damage of these will be... I secretly hope 590 because I think that's what I guessed in that contest The Germans could only handle a 20ct box of 109s back in 2009. Do they really think a 25ct will go over well in the Asian Market? Not rhetorical - that's actually me asking...
