So I didn't realize this before, but when moving the UF-13s I won from the Drew Estate holiday contest to be with the rest of my UF-13s (from cigar.com) I noticed that the winning sticks are actually the smaller ones that were produced (Robusto instead of Toro). I thought this was neat so am sharing a pic to show the difference :)

I don't think I ever knew they came in a lancero. Oh god. Hide my credit card!
It's not as skinny as the ones that came in the old lancero sampler, more like 40-rg. But they're good. Not an LE, but they don't make them very often.
To correct this info from Nate, the "sampler" he refers to(Don Pepin Lancero Collection) had Lanceros that were 6 7/8x42, or as dprice calls em "skinny churchills". So these are actually not as fat. Here is some info from Halfwheel from a year and a half ago.

"Don Pepín García Cuban Classic — The only other size to be released elsewhere, although like the Blue Label, it had different dimensions. Victor Vitale of The Cigar Agency had 100 (one-hundred) boxes of 50 (fifty) made for him back in 2008. The cigars were 7 x 39s, and some boxes were still available as of late last year."

Box of AVO Signature Coronas (Again)

Sealed box of Headley Grange (found on the shelf of a local B&M.... Didn't realize these still existed in the wild...)

Handful of the Rocky Patel Edge Habano Nicaraguan... Very underrated stick

Hmmm ... not doubting the info, but the 5-er that I have are all bigger than 39, more like 40-42. I got mine form niceashcigars.com (could have purchased a full 50-cab at that time), and I know I've seem them on at least one other site. I suppose that guy could have sold some to other shops, or they've quietly released some more since then?
