Was on another board and read this. Seemed interesting and decided to pass the info along.
Just In Pacific Cigar Co Meeting , Pcc, but this is what they have to say .
1. Major concern is the lack of stock coming out of Havana. This is likely to improve now that thay are actually back at work. Factories were effectively shut down for 6 weeks from Late July to end August.
There are some serious supply problems which need attending to.
2. There will be regional releases commencing 2006 (late). Regional releases will be exclusive for a period of two years. The three cigars being considered for regional release for PCC are Punch Double Robusto, H. Upmann Diadema, Ramon Allones Churchill. One will be selected by Habanos s.a and we will know which one in the next few months.
3. The fifth anniversary of Limited Edition cigars is 2006 and there will be a re-release of the initial cigars including Cohiba Pirimide and Partagas Serie D No 3.
4. Tubed versions of Partagas Serie P No 2, Cohiba Siglo 2 and Partagas D 4 will be available 2006.
5. We have the past of the Partagas Corona 50 cabs and RA 898. You will only see them again in production if they are chosen for a regional release.
6. Custom cigars are currently being explored. The major bone of contention against custom cigars is the variable quality.
