Some answers:

1. Yes Esencia cigars are limited, as we stick to our morals and only use the highest quality raw materials to produce them. Given that our standards are so high, we can't produce a large quantity in any given year.

2. Esencia cigars are only available through authorized Palio retailers. Knowing that we can only produce some small amount in any given year, keeping it "in the family" allows us to be consistent and constant with supply to both the retailer and consumer.

3. The sizes offered in the gift set are not "regular production" vitola's. So, it is the only way to enjoy the blend in these formats.

4. Smoke Magazine has rated the first four sizes of Esencia 90, 93, 94 & 95 for the Belicoso, Robusto, Petit Corona & Corona Gorda respectively.

I always look forward to talking with anyone and everyone involved in this hobby and passion of ours, so if anyone wants to chat, please don't hesitate to contact me. This post was merely a heads up for some people here I know who have been waiting for these, as they already enjoy Esencia cigars.
