Right, I love that can buy Cigar City from Publix.

yep. Just wish they had more of a selection. I'm used to Wegmans up north where they have the most insane craft beer selection.

That's not a ton but boy they better be good for that price.

I heard from a few guys that had them on the Safari that they were decent. Nothing to go crazy over but solid sticks.

Really couldn't have said it any better Pappy pretty much sells itself at this point. I do think its a cool collaboration though. Hopefully one day someone will take my idea and do a collaboration with Cigar City. That would be epic. Tried pitching the idea on SnS but so far no dice.

Funny Part is I can buy a Bashert Flying Pig (not the normal Bashert), a Black Rat, and a Saka today if I want. All of which there are only a handful of in existence. Pappy is released every year and you can not find it anywhere near a good price. What's worse is the fact that the thing that made Pappy so special was that they were using the very small amount of Stitzel Weller that was still around....That is now gone yet the price of Pappy has gone up and it's nothing more than a limited edition Buffalo Trace now from what I can tell. That's why I stopped chasing it. As much as I want to build a stock pile of HTF booze, I think at some point the market is going to wake up and realize that Pappy isn't the special blend that it used to be.

Personally I don't have enough experience drinking Pappy to say one way or the other. However at the moment it doesn't seem they'll be having any issues selling it all without marketing it anymore.
Whats the normal Bashert I thought there was only the flying pig?

Normal Bashert was the one for Marvin's wedding. There's another one that's more rare than the black rat/big black rat

I have a Bashert Pig from that wedding Ive just never heard of any other Bashert.

You got it. The one from Marvin's wedding is a Bashert FFP (size of the normal FFP)

This one is smaller like the 9/52 pigs.....There's only about 5 of them known to be left lol

That selection gets better when you live in their hometown and get to visit their flagship stores. Gotta love make your own craft beer 6 packs.

My experience with them is limited, but here is my list.

Liga Specific
Favorite: Flying Ferral Pig
Least Favorite: Liga #9
Unicorn: None, but would like to try the L40 sometime

Overall DE
Favorite: Tabac Especial Red-Eye
Least Favorite: Nica Rustica
Unicorn: None

Curious what you dont like about the 9, I really dig the robustos - a solid performing, flavorful stick that I dont need to think too much about and goes really well with an after dinner coffee.

Im a big fan of the Dirty Rat so I had high hopes for the Ratzilla but was pretty disappointed, may have been an anomaly though so hopefully the other ones I have smoke better.
