i've tried to collect the RE's. The chase (and of course smoking) is big part of the fun. I agree that while many are not much better than regular releases, some have been outstanding. Unfortunately, there are so many of them out there now that tracking them down is extremely difficult! It's definitely much easier to concentrate on a region.
yep RE's are a little hobby of mine, a bit easier for me as I'm based in the UK, one thing I find fun is going somewhere in europe for the weekend and hunting down that countries RE
This year's Asia Pacific releases are the RA Celestial Fino & SLR Pacifico. Both, IMHO, excellent cigars. I also like the Punch Piramide D'Oro from the UK, Edmudo Dantes from Mexico, RA Phoenicios from Cypress & the original 05 RA Eminencias from Swiss.
Problem now is they are proposing more & more each year- some of which are never actually released. Had to keep track of & many from countries that don't ship to USA.
A well known UK vendor has/had them. I'm still not convinced they are anything more than a Punch DC in a fancy wrapper.

I have all but one up through last year, but kinda
stopped trying this year, just to much dough, andnot enough great smokes. A few
are great, but most average
at best so far... Plus they keep making them huge rg and short. I want long and skinny!!!

I hear you on that. That's why this year, the only RE I really want to get will be the Por Larranaga Encantos. It's going to be an Asia Pacific release, and will be a dalia sized cigar at 170mmx43. I can't wait for these to be released! It seems like they are cancelling all the skinny cigars. The Partagas Serie du Connoisseur line are some of my favorite smokes, and Habanos SA is cancelling the line this year.

That's the one I've been trying to locate but the two sites I found that will part with singles look shady as hell...
they came with the humidor which was made by ed sallee:

I definately enjoy the dantes el conde 109. Also looking forward to the PL dalias. Anything they make with a ring gauge below 50 I at least will consider!
