Besides the petite edmundo, and closer to the Hoyo petite rubosto size, what other options are there in this size? Thanks

Our hosts have the Bolivar Short Bolivar 2008 PCC release in stock, you could try those if you want something with more growl than the Hoyo?

In regular production you'll just have the hoyo petit robusto and monte petit edmundo. other than that, you'll have to find RE's for short robusto's

The diplo RE 2012 is fantastic slightly expensive

I second that motion! V tasty sticks the Mag48s.

Cohiba Magicos ...I have some crackers

I second that!

Also the Quai D'Orsay Robusto Embajador, an RE for France from 2011, are right on the money, size wise. A special little smoke!

And the RyJ Petit Churchill, and the Upmann Half Corona…

Punch Small Club RE Francais 09. I must source a box! They only come in 10s though but worth the pennies!

It looks great but 135 euros for 10 Petit Robustos is just ridiculous :(

It'll be like their Seleccion Robustos or their Seleccion Piramides samplers - there are TONS of both of those still availble. Something like $75 or so for 5 sticks in both of those (with four of each being standard / regular production offerings), is NOT good pricing. When we were in Cuba last November, I was amused to see TONS of these still on the shelves even in the Cuba LCDH's and stores. The only way they'll get rid of them is if they drop the pricing on them.

One of my favorites as well. I am a fan of the HDM PR, but the Mag48's are one of my favorites overall. Have yet to smoke one that I did not thoroughly enjoy. Which reminds me, time to order another cab. :)

Indeed! I will wait for that ;)

LOL. No one's waiting for that, Claus, I don't think.

And, I just noticed that some are starting to sell these as vintage, since they're 10-years old now, and with a crazily unrealistic pricepoint, IMO. While I don't disparage anyone trying to do so with any heavy financial investment in storing cigars for vintage retail purposes, I think that with these Seleccion Robustos/Piramides, they'll be a HUGELY tough sell considering the amount that's easily on hand everywhere still, including right in Cuba.

Plus they actually taste extremely cedary after all those years in those boxes. I'd be a buyer of a box of the Selecion Petit Robusto at $125 or less just because the box would look nice on my shelf ;)
