Perdomo Special Craft Series

Anybody gotten their hands on and tried one of these yet? I love me a good craft beer, but haven't had much luck pairing cigars with my favorite malted beverages, so these are very intriguing to me. I was kind of turned off to the Drew Estate Smoking Monk blends because I've gotten mixed reports on whether or not those are actually infused with flavors, which I'd rather avoid personally (they've also received pretty mixed reviews anyhow, it seems).

Anyone have thoughts on Perdomo's efforts on this front? I've liked some of their other sticks that I've tried, and I'd be interested in snagging a sampler of these if one exists out there in the wild...

Just adding a link with a little more information.

I have not seen any of these yet, but I have not really looked either.

Whoops, looks like I put the wrong link in my original post. Edited accordingly. Thanks for the fix!

I haven't tried either, but I talked to a Drew Estate rep at an event and he told me the smoking monks were not infused.

Yet another reason never to smoke a Perdomo.

Cool beans. All the reviews I've read commented on the flavors being pretty strong. Guess I shouldn't knock anything till I try it though.

Why, because of marketing?

Never smoked one I liked.

I am a hard-core hater of AB, Perdomos, and RPs and whatever happens to be the CI/Cbid Flavor of the month.

so take my opinions for what they are worth.

Haha that's fair. I'm pretty new to cigars and I'm already starting to get a little tired of the language CI and CBid use to describe some of their "deals." Seems like there actually are pretty good bargains from time to time, but it's still annoying every other day of the month.

As for Perdomos, they seem kind of 50/50 to me so far. I've enjoyed some of their sticks and disliked others quite a bit. Still curious about the beer pairing blends though.
