Will there be a cigar released in Fidels honor?

[garnett]

I would like to see a cigar released in his honor

- a Cohiba

 - the shape of the NRO.109

- 47 x 6.5

- no band

- cabs of 25 - 50 and 100

- ribbon the color of the Cuban flag

- blend strong and flavorful

- call it the Comandante

- a small release every year

Did I just hear the distinct CRACK of a can of worms being opened?

[Mattb82]

I heard the crack as well

This is about a cigar not politics maybe I should have used the word memory instead of honor.

[rxavier1979]

They could have one with a black band labeled 683 signifying the poison cigar attempt.  And that one can be a plugged thus unsmokeable cigar...

[nc6789]

Would the cigar kill you after you smoke it? just kidding, wanted to stir the pot lol

I hope not (cigar release). 

I would give it a 95% chance of occurring. 

I give this thread a 5% chance of making it to the end of the day. Let's see who will be the first goober for a forum holiday spell

Haha "goober" didn't know you Aussies use that one. I've been using it lately as a gentler insult than my usual

I would be curious to know how many people would buy them considering that mos people have a fairly bad opinion about the man...

It would be the hottest release of 2017/18 

...and I still hope they don't do it.

It probably would indeed. It feels strange to think about people hating him and publicly  saying it and them again willingly buy cigars made in is memory...

If so, I wonder if they will have the proceeds go to all families of the....Nevermind.

I had always assumed HSA were sitting on a pile of aging leaf for just this occasion. Considering he's literally the most iconically linked cigar personality in the history of the world and all.

I'm more or less agnostic as to whether they "should" do it. But if they did I would expect it to be within the Cohiba or Trinidad marcas. Or maybe both. Perhaps just a Lancero or a Fundadores with an additional, plain black secondary band? Also, I wouldn't ship them off the island. Make people come and get them.

Like some LCDH's in Europe.

If not Habanos, you know the shops might do some special humidor release with the Green palm tree bands.  And let's not forget there are special jars released by 5AT Avenida that bear his image no?

[rxavier1979]

 I think regardless of what opinions are on the man, no question could be made that this wouldn't be a premier and extremely unique collectors item. Especially if it is a one time and very limited release. 

[SCgarman]

IBTL.

[ATGroom]

Hopefully they announce that they have 50,000 Lanceros in Cajon 100s left over from his personal stash... selection of production years, but the most recent is 1983. To be auctioned.

[dangolf18]

 If there was one it would probably not be released to the masses.

[LGC]

Of course there will... collectors will eat it up...

"Let them eat cake"  

....it feels more like that every release. 

[David88]

I am sure there will be something released (although when is another question entirely). I hope there isn't just because the world does not need another ridiculously priced Cohiba LE. I'm not sure I would want to see the Cohiba Double Robustos Supremos Extra at $100 a stick on initial release

[skalls]

My guess is they do a release similar to those Cohiba humidors from this year.  And then they release it a year late
