» » rob and i both sat there going. chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, though » from memory, his was more like, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chocolate (better than his » usual, mmmmmmmmmmmmm bitumen. Interesting to read about all these choco comments. My box (from Germany, ROA ABR 07) looks in colour quite similar to the Siglos, maybe a tad darker. I tried only one so far and I did not detect any choco flavours. Bummer. Quite a nice smoke, but it reminded me mostly of the Siglo line. Will have to try again in a few weeks or so.

» Thanks for the info. So, are there also 2002 Cohiba Millennium jars out there or was the jar rejection rate higher for the Montecristos?

Just saw a price for the Petit Edmundo box at a web site in the UK, 40 pounds.

I bought a few of those with different bands than usually shown (my bands have a white background, identical to the newer Hoyo EL 2004 Epicure Especial). I put them away for now. They look great, very dark, with a nice aroma. Does any one know about a late batch with newer bands?

» Some nice editions to the Habanos lineup. I have no pricing at this time » but nice to see some good marketing. » The Petit Edmundo case looks really nice, but it seems a bit excessive to me to make a case for just three small cigars. You cannot use the case for much else, Marevas would not even fit in.

As far as I remember, the original release was rolled in 1998 and released in early 1999.

» Very recent word is that a UK vendor has sold a few boxes of 10 from 07. » » Did I read here or elsewhere that these were going to be released in boxes » of 25 this year in deference to the 2005 regional release? I could swear I » even saw a photo of a display at the Festival Habanos with a box of 25 BGMs » shown. Anyone? The only glimpse I got so far is from this Festival report: http://www.flyingcigar.de/travel_cigars/20...uro_5_linie.php The last photograph (Partagas) also shows a corner of a box with cigars that look like BGM's. I cannot tell what size box that would be. Visitors to the Festival should remember seeing this display or have taken pics themselves. Anybody?

» Mine looks identical again except the jar has a removable cedar sleeve and » it is full.:-D Have the cedar sleeve as well, plus a wooden disk. The jar is less than half full, though. :-( BTW, How did you obtain yours?

I will post pictures later of the cardboard box and the inside of the jar. The box has a different lid compared to the 1999 ones.
