Today?  Given Habanos announcement to release schedule, 2023 is a more likely scenario.

They don't announce most ERs ahead of time anymore. These are all supposed to be 2020 ERs so already 6 months late. Considering there were only 2 2019 ERs, I think they should be able to get these out. They were first leaked in Feb 20, so that timeframe makes sense. This is an actual launch announcement from a publication, so I would expect these to be in most stores this week or next. If I see them in the LCDH today I'll report back but I doubt it.

Please do!  At the announced price that is not too bad.

Moisés has not sent his customary email informing these are in stock yet. I will check on the weekend

Looked for this in Cancun/Playa Del Carmen LCDH's this week and they had nothing. But they had some RA 2011 Limitadas so that was a score in my book.

Update from Tijuana is by the end of the month ETA 

Moises told me the same last weekend when I was there. Looks like the PV LCDH got them first. I've got boxes 69 and 70.

I wish they'd continued with the Edmundo Dantes, that was really iconic and special for them... 

Indeed, it's a great brand. And La Escepcion. They did well on both. Makes you wonder where the leaf came from and if it's still available. Would love to see more from both.

I haven't tried one yet, as I'm allowing mine to rest a bit longer.  I was lucky enough to snatch up a few boxes in July at the LCDH in Tijuana. The manager told me his store only received 1 case and he wasn't expecting any more.  Due to the short supply, he was not selling any singles in the store.

They’re great. I’ve worked through most of a box. I’m not usually a RA fan but these are special. Most recent boxes I’ve seen are numbered in the 6xx/7xx of 6,000 so they’ll be around for awhile.

True, but I’d surmise the retail would be much higher than $225/box for the RAs.

Singles are finally out at Tijuana so I'll probably partake this week. $30 each there. 

If these are good 6,000 boxes won't last long. I can tell you that at least 1,500 boxes have already gone directly to Asian buyers with more to follow.

First sample today:

Won't do a full review but these are very good. Reminds me very much of the 09 Celestiales Finos when young, but just a touch stronger. Might have the potential to exceed the CF in 5-7 years. The last CF I had in 2017 was a solid 95. These might get above that.

Sigh. Now I have to hunt these down. Big fan of the RACF.
