Habanos Fest - 2023 Announced releases

[Puros Y Vino]

Halfwheel is doing a nice job posting some articles and pictures of upcoming releases that you may want to consult your bank manager with.

First up.  Very exciting, but probably insanely priced.  Cohiba Esplendidos GR

Next. Up. Partagas Maestra lines.  Very interesting cigars.  All with 109 caps. The 46RG one catches my eye.

If you see any other interesting items, post them here.

Sounds like Spainard street ball tournament hosted in 2003

They re-release the Bolivar Gold Medal and increase it's girth by one-tenth of an inch? I mean, it's like Habanos S.A. think the Lonsdale size is an anathema (i.e. accursed) or something! I mean why, just why? 😲

I want those RyJ Cupidos... If they ever see the light of day on the market.

Partagas Maetra bands ... Why they design a band look like Espinosa Habanos ?

Man, you’re so right about this, John!

And then, what is it with that strange spacer in the box? HSA now also getting into bluff packaging?!

Or is it a new neat accessories box as a move to further stress how little confidence there was in the Cervantes vitola, holding - a draw tool! 😂

Linea Maestra--because the 1935 and LdO sell so well after the price hikes. 

Hoyo is next I'm sure. 

Guess I'll post a pic...

I love how they put the crappy standard leaflet in front like it's important. Come on guys.

Habanos gave some of the press a few of the new Partagas Maestra before the Gala dinner tonight, I have to admit I absolutely love the fact that they used 109 caps. One is too short and thick, one is too long, but that Origen seems just right. The wrappers on the Maestro and Rita seem a bit green to my eye, but that one on the Origen looks gorgeous...

The packaging sucks

Total misfit.... 😅

[NSXCIGAR]

The most tacky, NC-looking packaging HSA has come up with yet. 

Glad I didn't stick around and pay $1,200 for that 3-pack of cheese. 

[PigFish]

Barf!

They are "upscale" now. No peasants allowed in the club!😂
