Made a stop on a whim at my local Fuente B&M on the way home from work this evening.
Perfect timing! They just received an AF shipment today with some special cigars. Alas; no pink though.
He states the Pink may still be coming, but not sure. They never know what shows up until they get it. He states the regional rep also does not know if his store will get the Pink or not. I know this store used to be one of the larger AF accounts west of the Mississippi. This account however was split between two locations which are now separately owned; so who knows? I do know the store near me that I visit gets it fair share of AF including special and rare releases.
The store owner does a good job of putting purchasing limits on the rare stuff so that more buyers get a chance.
Nothing on Tampa sweethearts but that web site doesn't seem to be working right for me but Fuentes.com (I think) does mention the pink and says coming in December
I doubt the Pinks will show up locally. Went to Emerson's, and the guy never heard of them. I called a place about 45 mins away - he's calling the AF rep and should give me call back.
My local guy said he was going to call his rep. But he doesn't always follow through with stuff. He struggles with substances and his mind sometimes isn't on business. He has my number but has never called me about cigars or other stuff.Quote:

Matthew, I found out the Naked King's are King T Tubos without the tube, because the tubes cost money to make. Hence the Naked. Why they are more expensive than the King T must be because it got a new name. I bet they are good, they have a Rosado wrapper which is highly enjoyed by Fuente faithful.Quote:

My AF B&M guy confirmed what Steve says, but who knows, maybe he got it from the same source? You know how the inter webs are; one factoid gets cited one time, someone else cites that, and BOOM, that factoid becomes “ truth” because it appears a dozen times on a Googly search, when it fact it was just one publication.Quote:

A pay per view with His Excellency Sir. Dogrockets live ( and of course pantless ) smoking one of those naked cigars could well have tens of thousands shelling out $99.00 bucks each to watch. A one off virtual Cigarfest & Orgy that would leave viewers exclaiming "now I've seen it all!"
Just came across this info for the Naked Kings.
Still no scoop about those Pinks.

I see they’re out of stock, wonder if this guy gives ya a kiss or even a reach around?

Went to the local shop. Was told Pinks delayed till Jan-Feb. Maybe that's what the other guy meant by next year.

You're aware they've lost a few family members to cancers and he is very passionate about this causeQuote:

Yeah, I'm aware. I believe 30% of the profits will go toward breast cancer research. I believe Carlos wife lost her mom and grandmother to breast cancer. It's a great cause!Quote:

Meant no disrespect to Fuentes. They do a lot of great charity work for education for kids. Happy ending and Robert Kraft massage problem just popped into my warped headQuote:

BTW, my favorite and usually most successful way to hunt rare Fuentes is to start with the Fuente Family Charitable Foundation list. The shops that are the higher-tier donors typically get way more of the rarer cigars and IMO stick to MSRP better. Trying to find that list. They used to publish it and it was always in Cigar Aficionado too.
"coming soon"

Dang, Fuente is trying to become as mysterious as Guten Calas!
Only in their dreams.Quote:
