Per the Director of El Laguito, they have been asked to roll another 200,000 cigars.... on top of the 500,000 originally rolled.

Goes to prove that there are a lot of suckers out there

Yes almost fell for it! Last year I bought one for 50 EUR and was so tempted by a box but held off as I can get other great cigars for cheaper! Still have at one in my humidor now they cost 75eur!

HSA produced quite a lot excellent cigars in 2018, every time I grab my talisman to smoke, always comes an idea
'can they be that good like 1966 LE?' 

 

[nKostyan]

Second coming. Boxes from Havana.

Is it the same with RyJ Tacos 2019?

[David88]

As the Tacos was a 2018 LE release it makes more sense that production may continue into 2019, maybe they didn’t meet their target in 2018 and they will now continue rolling them until X number of boxes have been released.

It’s ridiculous that the Talisman would be brought back now. If they didn’t roll enough upon release in 2017, why did they ever stop rolling them? Since release I wouldn’t have described the Talisman as ‘hard to find’ either so I don’t think the initial production numbers were low.

Limitada is always an unusual tobacco, so the batch depends on the amount of tobacco. Maybe in the last cycle of fermentation, obtained the same tobacco that allows you to repeat the blend.

How many Marcas need to be rolled to be considered regular production?

[GasGuy82]

Imagine how limited cigars like SLR DC, MdO2, SLR A, Hoyo Des Dieux and the like are. I bet they never even rolled 70,000 of any of those cigars in a year, let alone 700k. I mean, PLMC, Picadores, Party 898, anything SCDLH/Sancho, I bet none of those cigars had a single vitola with 100k rolled.

Supposedly the tobacco is from the same harvest according to this article in CA

[tigger]

"'Habanos S.A. has decided to reward the loyalty of its followers with an additional quantity of Cohiba Talismán.'”

You couldn't make it up...

[Fugu]

As long as Talismán & Co are cross-subsidising my regprod I am more than happy to hear this. 

[Baccy]

All I have to say is, how many times has HSA pulled this move?

Interesting Move. Just saw the CA article today.

smart move, look at the profit made on these.

I really did not think the price on these was realistic, so what do I know...…...

 

I bet the HSA folks are dancing on the tables.
