Don't kid yourself..I'm pretty sure your point didn't get through..
Now I'm confused...

Magnum 48 Corona Extra 2009 EL 48 X 110 Wh Rd Gd Band 2nd Band Blk, Gd. Parejos
Ramon Allones Petit Belicosa 2012 RE 52 X 125 Br Rd Gd Band 2nd Band Rd, Wh, Sl. Figurados

Easy to see how you made a mistake, best stop digging as we say in 'blighty'...

Well there, now you know which sticks I was referring to. And which one I meant.

Now let's not point out my ignorances of the H. Upmann brands,

A damn hell. You and scotty have reason. I got confused between the Mag 48 2009 limited edition and the other of same length.. RA regional petit beli. Their bands and size look a damned similar!


But yea, the point still got through despite my incorrect example.

sorry jeremy, but there is no difference in the uk & canadian h upmann magnum 46 because it ISN'T an RE, it's a regular production cigar!!

as far as i'm aware, the regional and limited editions are supposed to be different/ special blends, have a limited production run and are released on a yearly basis!! sorry jeremy, but there is no difference in the uk & canadian h upmann magnum 46 because it ISN'T an RE, it's a regular production cigar!! i tried a bolivar britanicas (uk RE 2012) recently and to be honest, i didn't find much 'bolivar' there! for a start, it was lighter than usual!!

To be honest, not much. It ends up being one or two dollars more than it should because only a set amount is available to the distributor of different regions. I doubt you can find TOO much difference between a UK Magnum 46 and our Canadian Magnum 46.
I find it more as a marketing scheme than an actually quality differentiation. But that's just me . Anyone else got their two cents on this??

They do work on the same basis as Limited Edicion cigars. Coming out for only a year, then going away after that......

Magnum 46 (RE) ??? I thought these were standard production & later a jar made available in Europe...

[sheppsea]

thanks. what is the big whoop about a regional edition?

The main thing that makes them 'special' is that they are only released in certain regions (so the UK will have a specific regional edition, then Canada etc, etc and are only available for a year.

I've never actually smoked any so I can't say whether they are worth buying ahead of the standard ones or not.
