Pricing isn't out yet...and it's possible these won't make it to vendors until Fall, at least if past history is any indication.
That said, I've smoked enough LE to know that this is an easy pass. Limited Edition cubans are a marca unto themselves almost, and the profiles aren't very true to the brand IMO, which is what one would expect at least. Chocolate/Cocoa/Earth. Sums up just about every LE i've smoked, and it's not a ton, but it's enough to know i'm done wasting my $$. I didn't care for the Upmann Mag 48 LE whatsoever, and Upmann is my favorite marca.
If you enjoy the Upmann profile, buy a regular release Upmann (#2 or Sir Winston or Mag 46 or Connie 1). If you want that "LE profile" however.....save yourself some money and go with the Vegas Robainia, and use the extra dough on something else.
My .02. But you gotta make mistakes before you can learn your lesson, so snatch em' up if you're so inclined. Been there, done that....and trying not to do it again. So far, only bit on one LE in 2011, so I'm getting better! If I can make it through 2012 without buying an LE box, I'll finally be cured.
Then, of course, there is the REs, which is a whole nuther issue...
