Some more fuel to the hype machine that will likely make these pretty expensive. Not really sure about this release, seems like they would be cannibalizing the Reserva and Gran Reserva lines.

1st time hearing of this release.Thanks

interesting

I don't see this as infringing on the Gran Reserva at all. These are simply aged stock that hasn't flown around the world two times over and been housed in a questionable warehouse. Some of the major habanos SA distributors do this on their own under the moniker of premium aging program or the like.

So I am paying a huge premium for a stick that I could have just aged in my own humi for 5 years, or am I missing something here? (The blurb just says that the cigar itself has been aged, not the tobacco prior to rolling...)

Sounds about right. How much is 5 years worth? Lol

 

[Jmphotog]

So we pay to age now? Lol

Love CC's (hence the avatar), but this is ridiculous....

I think we always have payed a premium for aged anyway, only differance is it is the cuban government doing the aging.

I'm a little skeptical too, these seem to have popped up out of nowhere. Tobacco was put aside 5 years ago and no one leaked the reason for doing so?

The rolled cigars have been aged for 5-8 years,the tobacco was not "put aside"
You could not have aged these yourself,as these sizes were not available 5-8 years ago.A Monte Churchill is a tempting stick.and a full size RyJ torpedo will appeal to some smokers.

 

[Knickerbocker]

That's even more suspicious. These were rolled 5 years ago and no one had any clue they were coming?

Do conspiracy theory (fact) forums know something about these cigars we don't?

^Yes, I agree that these could have been aged in my (any) humidor and sure they'd be worth more because of the age, but not as steep as I have hard these will be. Seems kinda shady, IMHO

Ya, I'm a member of a lot of forums, even the other forums you post on and all of the invite only forums as well. Most FOGs had no idea these were coming, there was some guy who heard about these in 2011 but even his information was vague and limited.

 

[Mikes]

The dea of different sizes that do not normally exist within the individual marcas might be enough to make me bite. Don't really care about the age as I have 90% of my inventory age over 12 years already.
