Brother... First of all... The humidors containing those cigars contain a different cigar than the regular serie r. Those humidors contain a limited release which are usually numbered and in batches of limited quantity.

The serie r maduro are awesome and was my favorite cigar for years and years. I preferred the no. 5.

The serie r limitada in the humidors are delicious as well... however larger, generally, and well... More limited.

Thanks Jeremy. Is the blend the same and the size different or are they completely different cigars?

You know,

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head since they haven't made these since 07. (By the way... look up the Limitada humidors from '02 and '07 if you think this one is awesome... those will blow your mind.)

I am 99.9% positive that the blend is the same and the sizes are different. I know the sizes are obviously different from the normal Serie R... and I know for a fact also the sizes differ from year to year... so really the only thing I can't answer for you is the blend. However, I couldn't imagine them straying too far from the cigar that basically became LGC's bread an butter.

I could find out for you though... I'll try to post a little later today about it.

Thanks Jeremy! This is now on my radar for the future.

I used to love them. They're lousy when they're wet. Give them about 8 months to get them down around 62% and they're absolutely phenomenal.
They remind me a lot of El Originals from Island Smoke Shop in Key Largo.
