Lotusguy Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Just went to the LCDH in Stuttgart - absolutely none of the new LEs or REs available yet. No Petit Julietas either. The owner says he feels like Habanos is punishing them for complaining in the past that there were too many limited releases per year.
in0gravity Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Rob, any news who the "lucky" 8 are that are going to receive a regional edition for 2012? and any update on the Ramon Allones? Thanks in advance and best regards Lars By the way great pictures from Ireland. Next time your in Europe stop by in Germany.

shrink Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Hands down my favorite cigar smoked to date was an 86 La Escepcion Longos. Pretty damned good cigar it is. To my palate, it has elements of spicy root beer, and some black licorice.
cigcars Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 There's supposed to be a Pacific Regional Release of a Quay D'Orsay that's gonna be a real short robusto due out. Not a fan of that size but I DO want to get my hands on Quay D'Orsay Regional anything! Sorry, Piggy!
mazolaman Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Are they doing some kind of market research that says we all like fat cigars? Like some others,I'm interested in the RG Perlas,and the Cuaba as I have a soft spot for em,but the rest are of no interest at all.
dicko Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 The RA Superiores has been the only new release ive bought recently
thechenman Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 The RA Superiores has been the only new release ive bought recently As I'm sure you already know Dicko...an excellent cigar. I can only hope the rest of the HSA releases will be as good.
cigcars Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 OH YEAH!!! Yep - no doubt about. Gonna HAVE to get a better paying job so I can afford those babies should the Czar get'em in!! :dollarsign:

I know that Germany (Punch Sir John) and Switzerland (Vegas Robaina Petit Belicosos) are getting one. But what about the others? Thanks and kind regards Lars
ChanceSchmerr Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 And where be those RG Perlas? Has anyone spotted them yet, besides on the Spanish tobacco price list?
ptrthgr8 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Is there any word on when in 2012 the Cohiba Piramides Extra will be available? Or do they just ship 'em out whenever they feel like it? I would definitely like a box of those. Cheers, ~ Greg ~
Lotusguy Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 And where be those RG Perlas? Has anyone spotted them yet, besides on the Spanish tobacco price list? I have two boxes in my humi that I picked up this week in Barcelona. They are readily available there for a very good price. Shouldn't be too long before they release them outside of Spain. I have smoked one so far (Jun 11 box) and it was a bit too moist and didn't burn well but the flavors were there. Much better than the Panetelas Extra!

I will follow up HSA this week to see if they can assist.
