SteveGriff Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The Montecristo 80 Aniversario in 20: Ring 55 x 165mm seems strange to be a "Standard Premium Product". I'm unconvinced this is a standard release, maybe the Club Kings and Medias Coronas are not either. Anyone more clued up? Maybe they are more in a Connie A vein?
SteveGriff Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I guess we have had our fair share of long Reserva's (Lusitanias, RyJ Churchill), Pyramide Reserva... next up the Fat Gran Reserva.... 1
canadianbeaver Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I am a sucker for RE's, especially when I travel. But even I see this list as money making BS. Might have to join the ranks of the brother who tags his posts, "Friends don't let friends buy RE's." A La Escepcion RE? Oy vey.
Pedro2486 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I facepalm when I see those RGs... So. Many. Overweight. Cigars.
Popular Post shlomo Posted July 30, 2014 Popular Post Posted July 30, 2014 I'm more interested in the list of future axed cigars. 6
Puros Y Vino Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 This looks like a good time to invest in regular production stock you enjoy. 2

Upmann Magnum 56 EL 2015 in 25: Ring 56 x 150mm Ramon Allones Club Allones EL 2015 in 10: Ring 47 x 135mm Hoyo de Monterrey Maravillas EL 2015 in 20: Ring 55 x 230mm Special Edition: Partagas 170 Aniversario in 50: Ring 56 x 170mm Travel Retail: Partagas E2 in 10: Ring 54 x 140mm Gran Reserva: Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills Gran Reserva Cosecha 2009 in 15: Ring 55 x 130mm Regional Editions: La Gloria Cubana Glorias in 10: Ring 54 x 180mm La Escepcion Don José in 25: Ring 48 x 127mm Bolivar Belgravia in 10: Ring 55 x 130mm La Gloria Cubana Revolution in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm Ramon Allones Phoenicios in 25: Ring 55 x 130mm Ramon Allones Robusto XXL in 10: Ring 54 x 150mm Diplomaticos El Ambajador in 10: Ring 52 x 135mm Punch Supremos in 10: Ring 53 x 153mm Bolivar Emarati in 25: Ring 52 x 135mm Juan Lopez Malecon in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm Rey Del Mundo Petit Robustos in 10: Ring 50 x 102mm Quai d'Orsay Robusto Diplomatico in 10: Ring 48 x 127mm Por Larranaga Opera in 10: Ring 52 x 115mm Diplomaticos Excelencia in 10: Ring 50 x 124mm All of these cigars are foreseen to be released as off the middle of 2015. This appears to be the same source Steve that mailed me yesterday with an update that the Club Kings were going to be next years GR. My one concern with Wide Churchill Gran Reserva 2009 Cosecha is that they only launched the Wide Churchill in 2010 and some shops didn't see them until nearly 2011. This would make it the first GR or R where we can't compare it with a regular production cigar from the same year. 1
Rye Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Clearly they are feeling no wrapper leaf shortage with all these monster gauged releases. Or perhaps it will be at the cost of regular production??
Habana Mike Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I guess the way things are going this makes Churchills count as long and skinny now at only a 47RG! 3
finecigar Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Wow those are some big cigars... New la Escepcion and club kings do interest me of this list. Won't be seeing these for a long time
canadianbeaver Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 So. Many. Overweight. Cigars. Got an idea for this new vitola: Vibratoleo 1
Sophistic Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 a 44rx90mm makes little sense when the 40rx102m monte#5 is available...
Boss Hog Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 How may RyJ vitolas are in current production? Seems like about half of that would be a nice number... Agree.
Ryan Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills Gran Reserva Cosecha 2009 in 15: Ring 55 x 130mm Bolivar Belgravia in 10: Ring 55 x 130mm La Gloria Cubana Revolution in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm Ramon Allones Phoenicios in 25: Ring 55 x 130mm Juan Lopez Malecon in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm That would be an interesting blind taste test..... I wonder will they even bother giving them different factory codes.. 1
in0gravity Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 That would be an interesting blind taste test..... I wonder will they even bother giving them different factory codes.. Indeed or call it the year of the Montesco vitola. 1
gr8eman Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I am a sucker for RE's, especially when I travel. But even I see this list as money making BS. Might have to join the ranks of the brother who tags his posts, "Friends don't let friends buy RE's." A La Escepcion RE? Oy vey. Me too...but why so many large ring guages for REs and LEs? Likely because they make more profit off these?
CaptainQuintero Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 re: Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills Gran Reserva Cosecha 2009 in 15: Ring 55 x 130mm Bolivar Belgravia in 10: Ring 55 x 130mm La Gloria Cubana Revolution in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm Ramon Allones Phoenicios in 25: Ring 55 x 130mm Juan Lopez Malecon in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm I'm more cynic than expert but I have a growing theory that there is a general 'base cigar' blend for a good chunk of the hsa catalogue, say 80% is the same across a good number of brands then a final addition of a certain selection of leaf is added to the blend to give a change in flavour, of those 5 mentioned, apart from the bolivar, I think it would be very very difficult to identify which cigar was from which marca in a blind tasting.If true then it could be one of the reasons why some cigars which had inccredibly different taste profiles, like Sancho Panza, Diplomatico etc have been removed from the catalogue or had significant blend changes to fit them into the homogeneous 'Cuban cigar' mould ala the Bolivar gold medal and RYJ cazadorezCertainly there was hints at this such as the Upmann. Mag 50, can be nice be is never an Upmann and to me is the pure embodiment of the generic CC blend that is becoming disturbingly prevalent 1
CaptainQuintero Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Ramon Allones Robusto XXL in 10: Ring 54 x 150mm Even though it's not the largest of the offering by a long shot, that name is horrendous, only just noticed it! Maybe I repressed it? Who thought that one up? Was Dave from catering filling in for someone from marketing that day??
Cigar Surgeon Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Just when you thought the big cigar big ring gauge trend couldn't get any worse...
tmac77 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 La Gloria Cubana 25 Aniversario LCDH in 30: Combinaciones Piramides: Ring 52 x 156mm and Robusto Extra: Ring 48 x 170mm This one looks the most interesting to me. 1
Guybrush Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Regional Editions: La Gloria Cubana Glorias in 10: Ring 54 x 180mm La Escepcion Don José in 25: Ring 48 x 127mm Bolivar Belgravia in 10: Ring 55 x 130mm La Gloria Cubana Revolution in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm Ramon Allones Phoenicios in 25: Ring 55 x 130mm Ramon Allones Robusto XXL in 10: Ring 54 x 150mm Diplomaticos El Ambajador in 10: Ring 52 x 135mm Punch Supremos in 10: Ring 53 x 153mm Bolivar Emarati in 25: Ring 52 x 135mm Juan Lopez Malecon in 20: Ring 55 x 130mm Rey Del Mundo Petit Robustos in 10: Ring 50 x 102mm Quai d'Orsay Robusto Diplomatico in 10: Ring 48 x 127mm Por Larranaga Opera in 10: Ring 52 x 115mm Diplomaticos Excelencia in 10: Ring 50 x 124mm All of these cigars are foreseen to be released as off the middle of 2015. Does anyone already know which cigar is for which market?
