Rafael Gonzalez Perlas

Just stumbled across a spanish cigar forum tonight,

according to which the RG Perlas have been released (apparently in Spain only so far) already,

on Mr. Trevor Leask's web-site they are listed as current as well.

We are looking at a proposed 2012 release released 2011...

Has anything like that ever happened before?

Maybe, with the severe smoking restrictions in Europe, last not least, hitting Spain - which traditionally has been the biggest market for Habanos in Europe - could it be that HSA executives would go for countermeasures other than short robusto eventually?

From what I remember, same thing happened with the Flor de cano short robusto it was a 2010 RE that was only released in mid 2011 due to some ink issues or something. so Yes, it has happend and probably will continue to happen. Habanos are releasing wayyy too many RE's and just dont have the logistics to pull it off imo.

Understood, but RG Perlas are supposed to be standard production, not ER or EL -

and any release later than proposed is already a given,

here we are talking about earlier than expected...

Interesting. U are saying it is released early?

Should have made it more clear... I was indirectly responding to riazp's post...

But thanks

no problemo,

just thought that whilst Habanos SA usually lets everybody wait for new releases (at times it seemes "half an eternity" as we say) it is kind of funny somehow...

Released early AND a perla! Somebody must have been hitting that crack pipe pretty hard at HSA recently!

AND a lesser known rather than a flagship brand!
