That's the size I tried and that's a great price.

Senor Perfecto, Senor Robaina
Good looking cigar. Looks like you had a great night, just not sure about the price of these though. He might be pricing himself out of the ballpark, although he has name recognition and the bands look like the ISOM bands, but, I'll have to hunt one down and try it,
Still swinging
He's with a Cubanacan rep and one of the dudes from HR.
I'm hearing there'll be a very nice review & interview in Cigar Afficionado (January issue?). That should help place the brand where they want to be, which is in the Opus/Padron range.
The Ecuadorian Habano wrappers on these are fantastic (they say they're ca. 2007) and Nicaraguan filler from '08-'09.
Everyone said the same thing: first inch is verrrry heavy, then it mellows until the 2/3 mark and is incredibly smooth. Easy to retro if that's your thing. Some good transitions. I hope they do well. Robaina is really accessible and seems like a great guy.
That's awesome man, glad you had a good night. Hirochi is a Cuban Cowboy.
