Stump89 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yeah, yeah, another RE. I find this one to be fairly interesting though. I always find that Switzerland does a pretty good job with the quality of their REs as well.

They need to make more REs in those sizes. Maybe re-release the Selectos Finos too lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Interesting cigar but like all RE and LE's recently they are over priced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRATJV07 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 These look like a nice cigar. Havent had a 109 size cigar. Looking forward to picking up a box or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have four times as many regular production cigars vs the regional ed's. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 If history is any guide, any ER 109s are always worth picking up. They're either very good, highly sought after or both. Swiss, so these will be easily purchased worldwide. I'd expect these to disappear relatively quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, these are actually not bad at all for price per gram compared to some of the recent insane prices for much smaller ERs. Even the PL Coronas are $12 each and those weigh almost exactly half of a 109 and they're being considered a good deal for an ER. In fact, A Coronas weigh almost exactly the same as a Britanicas (RG 88) and the price of the 88 is 150% more than the PLC with no real reason to justify it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but I think we should start preparing our eulogies for the MdO2. Can't recall any cigar reappearing after 4+ years of absence. That, the SLR DC and Hoyo DD are probably toast. At this point, they are consciously choosing not to make them. If we don't see any if these by mid-19 after the great 16 and 17 crops they're done. They're cranking out a ton of special production LGC lately and HSA has shown no reluctance in taking a marca down to one model (Dip). I think the writing's on the wall, unfortunately.

Why waste resources making former average, run-of-the-mill, regular offerings when you can make bank on limited edition, double-banded selections in relatively minute quantities? ?

Hmm...well, that would certainly be a welcome bit of news. And after 5 years there's absolutely no reason they shouldn't be spectacular. Boy, I would really love to know what they do with all that tobacco. Knowing what and where Cuban tobacco is allocated is knowledge on par with the Coca Cola formula. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with this, apart from the Juan Lopez Eminentes. The ones i've had were the most 'non present' cigars i've ever had.

JGD Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Its nice to see another 109 - one of my favorite sizes. That coupled with prior good experiences with Swiss regionals means I'll be in the market. Hopefully, the prices stay somewhat close to what halfwheel is reporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah, these seem to be coming down a bit recently. I guess these haven't moved that quickly towards the end. The pricing on them was atrocious to be sure. I don't know what HSA was thinking, although they will probably all move in the end. The RA Nuevo Mundo can be had for less and that one just hit the shelves, is a much more popular marca and vitola and a Costa Rica release is a much less accessible region than Asia. The pricing on these ERs is just all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
