I'd suggest you may want to take this to some PM's first..or at least edit out a source.

They are supposedly a Montecristo, but due to the fact that name is copyrighted in Mexico to another company, HSA could not use it. I read that they taste like a cross b/w a Monte and H.U. Sounds like a good smoke, but who knows 
They are only for Mexico and only 600 boxes (I think) are being produced. Very, very pricey!

I will certainly consider it especially since there will only be a 600 box run.

I'm in for a box!
How much are they again? I might be in.

F%#$ that! Sorry folks, but no way no how for me. Habanos is re-releasing too many limited cigars as part of their regular production this year and next year for me to spend my time & money running my ass all over creation just to be the first kid on the block to own a 'limited' box of Dantes.
Ya, that's a bit steep concidering I can get 3-4 boxes of other brands for that price(depending on vitola).
While I agree with what you're saying, the notion of having an OR box of a new brand (or maybe pseudobrand in this case) is calling to me more than I thought it would. :whistling:

They are still very wet. I had one with a cracked foot, so I thought I'd smoke it.
Quite medium bodied with very promising nuances of the Monte flavor profile. The final third became extremely boring and mute, then fairly acrid so I put it down. A couple of months of drying out to 60-65% are absolutely in order.

This thing - this whole cigar smoking experience thing - is so subjective and wonderful.
I happen to have smoked one of these last night, and other than the acknowledgment that time will help these and agreement on medium bodied, my experience was very different than BobbyRitz's.
Much more Upmann than Monte.
First two thirds were kind of ho hum, with a couple of terrific moments in the final third.
To the bottom of the 'dor for a long time they go.
