Modern day BCG? With a wider girth to appease the masses of today (of course).

Regardless I like the sounds of this! To bad it's in a collecion book. Can only imagine the price tag.

The Diplomaticos Cancilleres (130mm x 52), regular production?

That's something I would like to know too. I guess we'll know further, in time.

Yes, regular production. The size is a bit unclear as the factory name is listed as Centrofinos, which is 50x130 and doesn't usually have a pigtail.

What does this collection book comment mean? I am confused about the way the press release was worded.

They look like this 

They’re a box of specialty cigars released once a year…typically quite expensive and not a lot of production numbers. The marcas change each year that they are released.

Finally, the Diplomaticos marca gets another vitola to join the Piramides No.2 in its regular production catalogue!
