I'm interested in some of these. What can you tell me about them?

...and, how do they compare with the Epicure No.2?

In my personal opinion, they are a lighter cigar than the HdM Epicure No. 2. Good flavor, but even the ones I had from MAY04 were in need of some age. I have had them sitting up for an additional 4 months at this time. There is additional information to be found here including my review.

Hope it helps.

Love the size, not impressed with the smoke. I much prefer the Epi 2.

Unfortunately, as of right now, I believe this is the only cigar being rolled in that particular vitola. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Habanos SA may have plans for others (let's hope), but I've neither seen nor read about any others.

Definently a mild cigar. I don't know squat about when a cigar needs aging (although I think my HdMs and my ERDM's do, they're missing that hype).

But these cigars are mild enough to still be good right out of the box.

Thats my take.

I also think the 98' ERDM that was gifted to me spoiled my flavor for fresh 04's!!

Hope that made sense, none of it did while i was typing it.

Well the Petit Robusto is a unique size but if you mean in that general size I prefer:

CoRo
La Fuerza
JL 2
Epi 2
