Monte 4, well no statements to be made related to quality in any way - I mean, look there are Laguito-made Talismans rolling around ... (But true, nothing to be really surprised about REs should it happen some day....)

Not all of them, but most. From a little bit of research I've done I have a theory on why we see have seen so many PSP/HQ cigars from La Corona: because the Figurados are rolled by only highly skilled rollers at La Corona. I started wondering about this when I noticed the Dip 2s from TOS NOV15 looked identical in wrapper to Bushidos from TOS NOV15. So I did a little digging and found out what I thought to be true. Partagas P2, virtually all Cuabas, and Dip2s are mostly all rolled at La Corona. Likely rolled by the same higher grade rollers who roll the 109s. I have RG 88s from SOM DIC 16.
Pittsbuilder Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Just to add to the confusion, I have a box of Talismans that have a LMB dic 17 code. It’s been reported that Talismans were being rolled all over, not just EL, but I’ve never seen this LMB code before. Any ideas?
Charltonc Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Has anyone ever seen a regional (ER) cigar with an EL box code, ever? I have seen boxes of RA 35th with El laquito.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
Eddyski Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Sorry for reviving an old thread — I was looking for box code info on this cigar. Great info, thank you everyone.

saintsmokealot Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I wondered that to as they are being made there I just dont know if they will be boxed there

Personally, IMHO, I think that where they were boxed is where they are actually rolled. It’s more efficient and less likely to result in issues with the cigars being transported before boxing. Did you see them being rolled at El Laguito or is it what someone is suggesting?
saintsmokealot Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Doesn't matter what we think @Bohn007 Cuba does what Cuba does. Here is the most public speaking about La Reina. 1

I have seen Behikes with the RAE box code which is the code I believe to be the same as SOM for 2013-2015. I have Behike 52 and 56, both from 2013. Both are BTO. One April one june. If that adds to anything.

Interestingly, I never heard in the video anyone say that the La Reina was specifically, actually, rolled in El Laguito. They had the tasting there but the cigar could have come from anywhere and at that tasting, it would have been something that they would have talked about I would have thought. 1

Perez Acosta, the Director General of El Laguito, that the only cigars that will be rolled in El Laguito in 2019 will be Trinidad and Cohiba. Obviously we all understand that not everything goes according to plan in Cuba but it would seem like they are taking it very seriously in light of the launching of the new sizes of the Trinidad.

I am sure he genuinely believes it. However,I have heard the same from previous DG's at EL over the years. I sincerely hope that they hold to that plan.

The greatest plan does not always end up the same in the end as it does when it starts, especially in Cuba 1
