I'm sure everyone's seen what's coming this year but is anyone excited by a small Conny #1 and a small BBF? I'm not (The RyJ sounds slightly interesting though...)
I want my ELs to be unusual shapes and not just bigger or smaller versions of what's out there already..considering how much these will cost (ie at least 50% more than the vitola it's nearly the same as) shouldn't we be treated to exciting and/or discontinued sizes/shapes. I'd be pleased if I saw an Upmann of lancero size or an Boli shaped like a Monte A. Just my 2p worth
2009 Limited Editions
A few weeks after the 2008 limitadas hit the selves, Habanos SA areplanning their 2009 releases of their Limited Edition Series. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, it seems that 2009 will bring us three brand new vitolas.
There is no information about the packaging of their series, but Habanos SA seem to favour boxes of 10 for the larger formats - like theDuke.

The name reveals its format, a petit belicoso measuring 52?125.
- Romeo y Julieta will present their 7th Limitada, named Duke. Duke is a brand new format, measuring 54?140, a slightly shorter Sublime.
- The third vitola of the 2009 will be the H.Upmann Magnum 48,the third addition to the successful Magnum Series. The vitola will measure 48?110 and can be compared in size to a petit robusto.
