That's incredible. A quick glance over this new class reveals a few annual releases, such as Camacho's Liberty, Davidoff's LE annual release, and Tatuaje's Monster Series. A few are limited releases with limited accessibility, such as only being available when purchased with a commemorative humidor. Even still, there are a lot of uniquely new cigars coming out at this year's event.

Another thing I noticed were the manufacturers that were putting these out: I'm wondering if this is a testament to how they're doing in cigar smoking circles. You'd expect Gurkha and Tatuaje to each put out 6 new blends this year, but E.P. Carrillo has several new releases, as does La Aurora. I wouldn't have thought we'd see that many from them. Oddly enough, CAO only has one.
