Connoisseur Kim Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Gotta pick only one to submit! If I have to choose only one cigar for RE, it might be: Brand: Por Larrañaga Name: Diosa del Amor Factory Name: Julieta No. 2 Size: 47 x 178 Shape: Churchill Strength: Light to Medium Taste: Floral, Woody, Leathery, Honey, Earthy, Fruity, Cedary, Chocolate, Creamy, Sweetness Cigars: Handmade Bands: Standard Band C, with Regional Edition band for Asia Pacific (Asia Pacifico) Packaging: Numbered Varnished Boite Nature Box of 25 cigars (500 made)
Andy04 Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Brand: H Upmann Name: Monarca Size: 47 x 178 Shape: Churchill Strength: Medium Taste: Chocolate, cream and caramel. RE: Hong Kong Release date: 1st July 2017 Special band: 20 aniversario Basically rerelease an official Tang Monarca to celebrate 20 years since handover. Package them some fancy box with 20 sticks. As long as they are similar in taste to the original Tang Monarca's, 2,000 boxes will sold out overnight. Edit: yes, I am aware H Upmann was off limits, but still an idea for Rob to pitch to Sir David! 1

ChanceSchmerr Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Pretty sure the tangs were released in 2002 not 1997. More like a 15 anniversary. He's suggesting a 20 yr anniversary of the Hong Kong handover from U.K. to China in 1997

earthson Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Por Larranaga in a tacos format. I'd call it the Abuelos. 1
KK33 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 El Rey del Mundo in a Franciscos size. 44x143 Between the discontinued previous Coronas de Luxe and Gran Coronas size. - KK33

Scratch that - make it a robusto extra so its not too similar to the RG 2013 short pyramid. I bring this thread back to the top because I recalled this contest after reading 24;72 today and I think @bman75 is pretty close to right on. A 48 by 147 I am guessing would be maybe a Robusto Extra most likely and it sounds like the Rafael Gonzalez 88 may be this. Hmmm.. 2

BRITANICAS EXTRA is the factory name. ......but close enough to my preferred size

A Rafael Gonzalez Britanicas Extra! I was imagining a standard parejo cigar. Sounds like a real winner to me! 1
Smoker Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I usually steer clear of LEs, so I'm not sure what's been done before. But as I'm getting a box for free....let's have a Bolivar Campanas (52 x 140mm).

Hahaha, this is what happens when you combine single-barrel bourbon with late-night browsing. Ok ok, I want to change it to a Bolivar Cañonazo (Siglo VI size). And let's hope nobody noticed that earlier post. 1
