Ken Gargett Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 this is the official position on the 05 LE's. there has been one correction to this - the monte 'D' is in a case that looks like an 8-9-8 but is actually only a 3-4-3, so you will only get 10 sticks and not 25. "Received year after year with great acceptance, the Limited Edition distinguishes itself for the inclusion of sizes which are not part of the usual range of the brand, and is characterized by a special manufacture. The careful selection of a two-year aged wrapper from the upper level of the plant grants it a darker color and turns this product into something unique. The 2005 Limited Edition is made up by a selection of the most prestigious Habanos brands. This year we have them in: Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, and H. Upmann, all carrying a second band as usual that identifies them. MONTECRISTO “D” The best-known of all Habanos brands now introduces this splendid 8-9-8 case comprising 25 units of Montecristo D. Its dimensions (43 ring gauge and 170 mm long) are equivalent to the factory name Dalia so smokers can be able to feel the natural character of Montecristo, a brand that has proven to be an all-times success ROMEO Y JULIETA “PETIT PIRAMIDES” Such a novelty deserves a great encomium. Prior to lighten up one of these little marvels, one would be delighted with the impressive view of the Habanos properly aligned inside the box. Along its dimensions (ring gauge 50 and 127 mm long) smokers are allowed to feel the flavour of its aromatic and well balanced blend. Presented in a semi plain box of 25 units, these littleTorpedo-shaped cigars could become one of the most fashionable smoke of the year. H. UPMANN “MAGNUM 50” The first showing of the brand within the Limited Editions series is signed by an unexpected new cigar which will be surely appreciated among the most demanding smokers. Always regarded as a medium flavoured smoke, this cigar stands out for its complexity and richness instead of its mildness. Presented in an unvarnished slide lid box, measuring 50 Ring gauge and 160 in the length, will certainly become a hit since the very beginning. Because of its very special features, the Limited Edition 2005 is manufactured in small quantities as always does, which makes it a particularly appreciated pleasure for the most demanding smokers. These fine pieces of smoke will be available during the summer at the most selected points of sale worldwide. "
wasch_24 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Darn. I was looking forward to the Monte 'D' being a 25 count box.
Ken Gargett Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 may i suggest you make rob very happy and buy 2 1/2 boxes?
shrink Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks for the heads-up, Ken. I am looking forward to your review, and Rob's emphatic disputations.:-D
Ken Gargett Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 fat chance i'll have of seeing them unless they arrive before rob returns from wife mollification duty and the first lady saves me some.
cvm4 Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Thanks for the information Ken. It's always appreciated ;-) :-D
argon345 Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Hey Ken, thanks for the info. Those R&J sound mighty nice...hope to get my hands on a box of those!!!
Mikey Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 » Hey Ken, thanks for the info. Those R&J sound mighty nice...hope to get my » hands on a box of those!!! I hope to get my hands on a box of all of the new releases!:-D
1f1fan Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Rob Any pricing info on these yet? I'd like to sample a few of the Monte D's and maybe a box to age. I'm not a huge fan of EL's but the few Monte DC's I've had were good. Hopefully the price will not be too outragous.
cvm4 Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Any news when these will arrive Rob? I've seen quite a good number of folks pissed at where the mag50 is priced at and the rest of the '05 ELs for that matter.

shrink Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Hey, I got a brilliant idea. When the EL's arrive, slip some in under cover as the mystery cigar of the month, and let's watch the reviews. :-)
n2advnture Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Forget the 05's, I am still waiting to get some Epi Esp!!! :-P
