Connoisseur Kim Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Gotta pick only one to submit! If I have to choose only one cigar for RE, it might be: Brand: Por Larrañaga Name: Diosa del Amor Factory Name: Julieta No. 2 Size: 47 x 178 Shape: Churchill Strength: Light to Medium Taste: Floral, Woody, Leathery, Honey, Earthy, Fruity, Cedary, Chocolate, Creamy, Sweetness Cigars: Handmade Bands: Standard Band C, with Regional Edition band for Asia Pacific (Asia Pacifico) Packaging: Numbered Varnished Boite Nature Box of 25 cigars (500 made) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy04 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Brand: H Upmann Name: Monarca Size: 47 x 178 Shape: Churchill Strength: Medium Taste: Chocolate, cream and caramel. RE: Hong Kong Release date: 1st July 2017 Special band: 20 aniversario Basically rerelease an official Tang Monarca to celebrate 20 years since handover. Package them some fancy box with 20 sticks. As long as they are similar in taste to the original Tang Monarca's, 2,000 boxes will sold out overnight. Edit: yes, I am aware H Upmann was off limits, but still an idea for Rob to pitch to Sir David! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthson Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Por Larranaga in a tacos format. I'd call it the Abuelos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeedubbya Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 On 5/18/2016 at 10:23 PM, bman75 said: Rafael González in a robusto. RG doesn't seem to get a lot of looks for these releases. Scratch that - make it a robusto extra so its not too similar to the RG 2013 short pyramid. I bring this thread back to the top because I recalled this contest after reading 24;72 today and I think @bman75 is pretty close to right on. A 48 by 147 I am guessing would be maybe a Robusto Extra most likely and it sounds like the Rafael Gonzalez 88 may be this. Hmmm.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Rafael Gonzalez Britanicas Extra! I was imagining a standard parejo cigar. Sounds like a real winner to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I usually steer clear of LEs, so I'm not sure what's been done before. But as I'm getting a box for free....let's have a Bolivar Campanas (52 x 140mm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother @Smoker I am going to gently suggest you already have this particular one in your humidor most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, this is what happens when you combine single-barrel bourbon with late-night browsing. Ok ok, I want to change it to a Bolivar Cañonazo (Siglo VI size). And let's hope nobody noticed that earlier post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going to call it an 88, I think the more appropriate shape would be piramides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
