The Grand Corona was discontinued in 2006 worldwide, it's not available anywhere including Italy.

I found a box of these last year at a Casa in Germany! Therefore my question

Old boxes (with a pre 2007 box code) can be found everywhere in Europe, that doesn't make it a current production cigar…

So the above post from Oliver could be a confirmation that older boxes of QdO Gran Corona are available in Italy? And not a new regional edition.

That would answer my question. Thanks

Absolutely not. Why would Oliver mention old boxes of a discontinued cigar in a "2016 Releases" thread?

It has to be a new regional release…

you are welcome

no. 

I think now it´s just wait until the last quarter of the year.

PS: this is not a DIadema (Italian distributor) or HSA info but I think it´s reliable.

I find it very odd since boxes of this cigar can still be found in Europe…

Last year I found out about La Escepcion San José in the end of november and now we are just in June.

I really can´t say more than that. Maybe just a hearsay?

Perhaps Italian members could say something about it.

Possibly it does hint towards the old name being used on a robusto extra etc then

As long as it's not another Montesco

....let's hope it's the real deal (vitola de galera). But I wouldn't be too surprised if not.

That said - if someone could indeed direct me to a good source for the original Gran Corona - PM welcome, thanks!

I'm traveling to Italy at the end of August. Will it be way too early to try to pick up a couple boxes of that regional?

I'd say to expect them around mid 2017, probably not before that.
