Wide Edmundo in Spain

[Drewster]

So just having a read about these can't make my mind up if it's something I would try or not.

I'm totally not excited by this. This wide everything fad is depressing. Wide churchill being the first and only other? How many more to follow?

52 is the biggest RG I'd buy again if something great was released. I've a whole bunch of larger RG (up to 56!) already, they'll do.

And I'm a fan of the Edmundo range. The original, double and petite I've liked. But not the Wide Edmund-no.

See I quite like a Wide Churchill (not something i buy often) and larger RG cigars in general but I feel this is just a "we better get something out" cigar.

I have loved every Montecristo I have smoked but if I had the choice between the standard/double/Petit or the wide I would more than likely just get the standard I'm sure there are plenty of folk out there that would buy into the wides

Tenerife next month, I'll look out for them

Maybe I'll try one of yours then hahaha only joking

They should be released at the end of this month

They're probably the only cigars in Spain at the minute

Big fan of the Petit Edmundo and the Wide Churchill so I'd give one a try.

Doesn't appeal to me but will try it. The wide R&J seemed pretty popular but wasn't something I liked much. Will see how they smoke!

In my limited experience wide can mean more loosely rolled but I’d try them for sure

I found that with the wide churchill, I've never had one that burned straight and true

I'm gonna take a guess that the wide range is targeting the gap they left that obviously the NC market is enjoying. So looser draw maybe expected? But I guess too the Cubans don't usually get the looser construction right...

Cuba e Cuba as they say

The petite edmundo, edmundo are already chunky cigars, this just seems totally pointless to me, just another chance to whack on a extra band and double the price. To me the direction of Cuban cigars over the last 10 years has been horrible.
