I think that is of great interest. They're difficult to find I hear.

This sucks. I will not be a victim of Habanos S.A.'s future marketing ploys anymore. Limited Edition/Limited Release.....hah, anything but.

Intact boxes of the special production LCDH Cologne Gold Medals will always demand a premium over the new regular production Gold Medals. So, I would have no problem paying substantially more for the ones from '05. And, actually, the original price of these was not far off from the 90 euros that these may go for in regular production. My best bet though, it'll be closer to 125 euros for a box of 10, if not more.
Chino,
I can imagine. When they've become available over here, they've gone for $40-50 a piece. But if these are going to be more than a one shot (which they might well be even though they are on the production list) they will still be desirable. If they were to come out in significant volume AND if they matched the characteristics of either the original or German regional production, then they would be one of the better cigars of the year...I'm guessing.

Call me uneducated, but are the Bolivar's worth it? A few the Bolivar's I've tried have not stoked my stogie.

That is a question that can only be answered by the individual. For me, yes, Bolivars are worth it. They are my second favorite brand (as a whole) of Habanos. Their flavor profile matches my palate very well. I absolutely love the earthiness that is predominant in this brand.
It is very possible that Bolivars are just not for you. Their particular earthiness might just not be your thing. You have to find those cigars that match your particular palate, not just rely on what others think or say about them. If you don't like them or if they just don't "stoke your stogie," move onto another brand. Find what works for you. :thumbs:
Just my 0.02.

:thumbs: That there's the gospel, baby. Worth and value are what we make of it for ourselves.

The 2005 Bolivar Gold Medal commissioned by Chris Wolters was the best production cigar released last year. Nothing else topped it and these are just going to get better with age. Worth is a personal issue, as one thing may not worth the same to one person as it is to another. I personally loved them enough to smoke all three boxes that I bought and did not have enough control to save any for age.
