    I guess I should have posted this here:

    Just picked up 5 of these beauties. Man, they are gorgeous and smoke like a dream. If you find the chance to pick some up, I would definitely do so. However, you might want to wait for a little while. It's practically sold out everywhere, and if you can find it, they're charging $600+ for a box.

    I love SCdlH, but this new size takes the cake. It's smooth as silk, creamy in character and loaded with notes of toasted nuts and coffee. The aftertaste is toasty with the slightest bit of pepper - far from overwhelming, but it sticks with you right up to the next puff. A long-lasting, satisfying smoke complete with that enjoyable twang from down south.

    I wish I bought more!

    That is way too much for those!!  You can find them for about $350.... 

    If they are the 48/167mm you are talking about, the Torps can be found for around $450

    Thor, these are the new 'toro' size, which measure 6.5" x 52, roughly, in size. They're gorgeous. The blend is slightly different. I picked them up for $15 a stick. That's pretty much the best price you can find right now.

    I also picked up an '05 box of RASS. $175, shipped. Delicious.

    If it is the Mercaderes I have found them for a little over half that much, and they are  6 1/2 inches with a 48 ring...

    The  San Cristobal De La Habana Muralla is 7 1/8 x 54, a torp and the most expensive one 

    The Oficios is 5 1/4 by 43

    The three new sizes used to be found in the San Cristobal de la Habana V Anniversary Humidor along with a fourth size the El Morro.  The three new ones were released in 06 as new sizes to the line.  There should be two bands, the second band a dark red color with a sketch of a tobacco leaf on them.

    I think I'll try these though, they do look and sound good!

    Nice price on the Rass's!

    Weird. I just looked through some old Cigar Insiders, and the dimensions that you provided are correct. However, on most sites the dimensions that I mentioned are listed, which is the actual size of the cigars in my humidor.

    Maybe it was changed. I'll have to look a little further into this.

    I know that is wierd, I noticed that the sizes are listed different in a few places as well.  I looked into la casa del habano and trust them...Something is going on!  The 7 1/8  is one big torp!!
