These look really good - the writeup in this month's CI catalog made my mouth water. Monte is one of my favorite brands anyway, and these look like a good addition to their lineup. The only thing I don't like is the odd sizes. They come in:

Churchill - 7.0 x 58
Edmundo - 5.0 x 55
No. 2 Torpedo - 6.1 x 54
No. 3 - 5.5 x 44

58 is a HUGE ring gauge for a churchill. And even the Edmundo is way too big for me. I could have gone for a Robusto, but if I get any it will probably have to be the No. 3. Although 44 is a getting close to the small side for me, that's the only one I'd be able to enjoy smoking. Or maybe the torps.

These seem pretty cool though. Might be interesting to try. I think I may have to see if anyone wants to do a box split.
