I'm sure many of you will have seen the recent images of the up and coming new Cohiba addition... looks to be a cracker!

It looks like a really smart potential winter smoke. I say potential as we've no idea when it will reach us!!!

Anyone heard anything more?

No thanks, far too pricey

Not sure how these passed me by. They look good (especially the dinky tubos); they might taste good; but ?17 a pop? Noooo. Unless someone else is buying, I'll stick to a HUHC or even Monte Media Corona (and I think even they're a bit pricy compared to a #5, speaking as a fan of both)

They'll be even dearer in the UK!

No kidding! :-\

It seems I have to visit the Cypriot branch of the clan at some point in the next twelve months - so I'll cross my fingers, hit the Paphos LCDH and see if I can treat myself.

I almost hope they're not Aphrodite's answer to the perfect smoke, as they seem on first impression to be not a great value size/price wise. This is obviously a hugely variable thing, but I learnt a thing or two from Didi at Amsterdam LCDH, particularly regarding the smaller format HdM Hoyos.

That in the group line, the depute is the sweet spot for quality/flavour/price. On the small end of the family too. The tiny one below it, particularly poor value (being essentially a pricey cigarillo). Some of the larger format get close to the depute as the per unit price increases moving up get shallower But overall, except money-no-object taste considerations, HdM seem to reserve their better value work for the epicures.

Cigars are vegetarian, we should all remember that. We're *being* healthy!

No problem. I took the master's advice and bought a couple of deputes as quality short winter smokes, then a 3-pack of Epicure #2s.
