What are the rarest of HSA premium cigars that are "supposedly" under current production?

Just saw fresh Cohiba Coronas Especiales in the wild today...another ghost

I believe @Corylax18 mentioned he saw plenty of these in Cuba a few weeks ago and I see them at vendors but at very high prices. In fact I've never really seen a significant dry period for them.

I am pretty sure I have seen 20 or 21 boxes of everything mentioned, even Monte especial, partagas 898 and Siglo V.

Though those and mdo4 probably rarest these days.

I don't think Fundys have been seen past 19. Siglo V 25s I'm not sure about either. I also I think I saw a 20 Sir Winston in either late 20 or early 21 but I'm not sure and they have been gone awhile. 

So those three are questionable for any production since 19.

Interesting you've seen CCEs around, I haven't seen any since early last year. Cory's sighting in Cuba maybe coincides with the latest rolling. Also, what do you consider 'high' pricing for CCEs these days?

I think the last available Sir Winnies were TLE MAR 21, I was lucky enough to grab some boxes. I think they only rolled those 1x year anyways, so def on the rare-ish list

I have BSM MAR 20 Fundadores. I have MTS ENE 21 Sir Winstons.

I don't have 20/21 Siglo V SLB (my box is REG OCT 18 I), but I think either @Heels82 or @MrBirdman may have gotten recent-ish boxes.

Seems like these are rolled for one to three months, available in the two or three months after they’re rolled, and then disappear again. SWs were popping up periodically on multiple vendors last summer it seems and people were getting boxes from Dec 20- Mar 21.  I think I recall seeing several different codes for Party 898s as well, spread over a few months in late 20.  MdO4s seemed like they were all rolled in March at the Partagas factory, then as soon as they arrived on the scene, poof, they dried up.  Was it always like this for harder to find vitolas?

I’ve been looking for Diplomaticos #2’s for a year without success.

A very trusted vendor has them listed right now at a pretty fair price. I consider $800 to be high and right now I'm seeing them at several other vendors for $900-1,000.

I stand corrected. You must have the last box of Fundys to roll off the line. 

So apparently we do have everything made since at least 20.

Exactly. At 900+ they just sit in warehouses & collect dust.

I know they've just popped back up, we both saw the same thing. $700 is fair for CCEs, at least for this week...another 15% increase coming Apr/May

Party 898, ERDM Choix Supreme, LGC anything, SLR Regios . 

Wish I could find any of them. Particularly the 898

Regios are one of the few things I'm still looking for. I've seen the 898's pop up once or twice in the past year on other sites, got lucky an snagged one myself last fall.

They have popped up on 24:24 but in small quantities (maybe not a good gauge for overall availability). Also, every other major online retailer has effectively had zero stock for many months now.

Seemed like they got wiped out when CA put that as their #4 of the year.

Correct, I have a box of SOP FEB 20. Why don’t I have two? Because I’m an idiot.

I have two boxes of JUN 20 Fundies I picked up a few months ago.

Looks like they were made but incredibly low production. A trickle in 20 and a trickle in 21. I never saw any for sale.

I'll certainly be scouring the Havana landscape for some next week.

Just checked box codes on Fundies. Same as Bijan. BSM but mine JUN 20

[Tstew75]

Just saw a GRM OCT 21 box of Winnies, looks like they were rolled 2x last year

[Thirdcoastwatch]

I’ve seen:

Fundi- GLE ABR 20

HUSW- MGL DIC 20, GRM OCT 21

[Huckleberry]

I will stick with a recurring theme and say the ERDM Choix Supreme.  Not sure I have seen them on 24:24 in 2022. 

I have an email, insta, snap, telegram, DM, FB Messenger, dancing tik tok, and smoke signal ready to send to DI when I do.  Not in any particular order, but I won't throw a tanty if I don't get them. 

Close second is the SP Beli.

I kid you not, I offered Diana a part of my soul for some Choix Supreme. I mean, my soul is basically a 1996 Ford Taurus with 200k miles. But it's got some value...

I agree my man.  It sounds like your soul may be well used, showing signs of  normal wear and tear, but it's dependable and has seen some good times, Di shouldn't under value it

[SMELTZ]

I am seeing Trini Tope, Trini Claro, Lusiitanias, La Trova, Partagas E2 and some Dip 2's starting hit shelves this week.

Prices are outrageous and still the best prices in town are on FOH, no one compares. 

[SMELTZ]

Behikes, Siglo VI hitting shelves this week as well but way too expensive for me right now
