The Min Ron Nee book says the Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales are a machine made cigar that were slated to be discontinued in 2002. My HabanosSA information doesn't even list this cigar so I'm fairly certain that means they are discontinued. This vitola is no longer listed on the HabanosSA website.
Again, my literature and sources indicate these are machine made cigars. That's a whole lot more reliable than what some vendor claims. HabanosSA literature and sources for information are much more reliable then vendor claims.
Whether they were "good" or not is no proof to conclude they were not machine made. I've smoked lots of "great" machine made Cuban cigars and I've also smoked some average totally hand made Cuban cigars.
Partagas Petit Coronas are indeed hand made, they are 5 1/8 x 42, a "Mareva" vitola and have also been discontinued even though you can still buy them. My guess is that this is what you smoked.
There's no "e" at the end of "Petit"
I know the vendor you referenced Newfie lists those cigars on their site but have you checked with them to see if they actually have them in stock? That particular vendor lists many cigars on their website that they actually don't have in stock. How about you drew? Does your source actually have them in stock or merely listed on their site? Based on my experience, the Partagas PCEs are hard to find.
