The cylinders of 19 were the US release. There were also cylinders of 22 released in Europe, (I believe there were 1000-2000 boxes). These were a 43 ring vs a 50 ring in the US. I have some of both and actually prefer the narrower ring version
These are my favorite cigars. Tons of rich flavor, effortless draw and although they are in the mild/medium range they have enough strength to make them interesting. Prices early this year (while there was still some in stock) were $15 /each. As the only sales now are via private parties ... the prices are probably in the $15-20 range or higher.
Interestingly enough, I have a friend who talked with Avo Uvezian himself about these and Mr. Uvezian was more pleased with the LE-5 than the 22's.
I've heard rumors where the next limited edition (to celebrate Avo's 80th birthday) may be the last one ... and the cigar will be a mix between the 22 and the LE-5.
