More conflicting "info", but "info" nonetheless - all from a shop I scouted in Richmond, VA:
The Naked Kings are just regular Kings minus the tubes. Shortage of tubes = marketing fuckery.
The Pinks, will probably be event exclusive. Something about the daughter donated her hair for wigs, and the events will be cancer-related for charity. And they're possibly rebanded Opus-filler sticks. Reps are in the dark.
They do have blue Opus if anyone's interested. Will PM B&M info.
Saw a pic of one a guy on Facebook had didn't say where he got it. It looked about the size of a work of art
Hmmmm ... I donated my hair to Locks of Love for wigs many years ago. Suppose they'll send me a free rare pink out of gratitude?Quote:

That was something I used to fear. But I'm pretty damn sure I could pull off a horseshoe with STYLE. I'd need to drop a few lbs before the Mr. Clean look would work, though.Quote:

So $27 may be a bit more than msrp.
Damn, did you just call me "tard"? Anyway, the cans rusted and moles made mattresses out of the paper. Now if your talkin about the ammo cans! :):):)Quote:

Fox Cigars has one on their Instagram page. May be worth keeping an eye on their site.

Seen a few sites doing samplers. 5-6 other Fuentes and 1 pink.
https://ambassadorcigars.com/shop/ar...-pink-sampler/
These guys are the only ones I can find that have any, but same story as above. Have to get it in a sampler

'Rare Pink' indeed.
What a marketing gimmick this is.
1: Come up with a new (maybe) blend
2: Hype the living sh!t out of it with news releases delivery delays, etc.
3: Include it only in samplers that aren't selling very well.
4: ???
5: PROFIT!!!!oneone!
For all you Fuente Whores - saw this on another site.
Good Morning All,
Received a couple boxes of the Rare Pink. Decided to make a few Fuente Samplers to spread them around. Each sampler contains 10 cigars, 1 of each of the following:
Rare Pink Signature
Rare Pink Short Story
Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Natural
Casa Cuba Doble Seis (Toro)
FFOX Lost City Double Robusto
A. Fuente 8-5-8 Natural
A. Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro
Fuente Rosado Magnum 54
Fuente King T
A. Fuente Don Carlos #2
Pricing for the 10 cigar sampler is $150. Please add $7.50 shipping for orders within CONUS
Payment through PayPal preferred.
Wow over $15 a stick and not an Opus in the lot. Great lil sampler thoughQuote:

Probably doesn't change many minds anyway. :shrug:Quote:

As much as I love the work of art maduros, my complaint is that its just gone too fast!
Looks like the Pinks will be an ongoing series. Scotty's sold out in less than hour. New piece of info though for those interested.Attachment 7954
Local joint got some in yesterday - (Signature and Best Seller vitolas) and hadn't put them out yet when I asked.
Also had xtra anjeo 55s out and 77s hidden and that crazy Opus "chest" (he sold one of his two allotted). He was excited to get the forbidden series to go along with the others.
Anyway, back to the Pinks... I asked him pricing and he didn't know yet, so he had to look em up. When he gave me a number I said ouch, but then I asked for a box price and he kinda got worried. He admitted not knowing anything about them, so we talked a bit and shared what I knew of them and he appreciated it. He still had the bestsellers to show and could use the $ale, so he sold me the box.
Remember that CA has a 64% tax rate on cigars (and thats down from 70ish after a recent ruling), so I by no means got a deal on these like you all will surely find.
PS - I'm not posting this on other forums, just sharing with the BUMS.
