I saw that earlier today. I wonder what retail will be outside of Vegas?
Do you know what they cost in Vegas by any chance? Bummed about the delay on the Pinks but glad they’re making up for itQuote:

Might make a run up there in a couple weeks and can sniff around.
TJ, how were they priced when you bought some? Some Lanceros sound tasty!Quote:

Lanceros are unobtainium. I've asked every visit for the last ~7 years.Quote:

I'll keep the streak alive in a couple weeks and keep you posted. In the mean time, do you want to try a Corona Gorda?
Do you really have to ask?! :)Quote:

From what I can gather thats the hardest to get.
I have a single in my special occasion box. And seeing as today is my birfday, I will smoke it later today. Waking up and realizing I haven't died yet is about as special as it gets. i believe it is a Corona Gorda.Quote:

Bob, those beans were hand picked by Juan Valdez cousin, Wino Valdez.Quote:

Yeah tho nothing is known of that kid's fate. It takes a fair amount of research to learn of Wino's Daughter,other than the fact that She was oddly named Pig a name given affectionately because of Her keen sense of smell. Her father Wino surely owes his great success to the fact that in His usual state of inebriation He brewed and sold those cherries as coffee. Wino Valez. the black sheep of the family Valdez with His Wife Sooey and daughter Pig exiled to Indonesia tho less well known than Juan Valdez fared rather well as sales of their Kopi Luwak coffee took off.Quote:

Great, now I have to quit my job to spend all day driving around looking for them. The orange footband corona gordas are literally my favorite cigar of all time.
Apparently these Casa Fuentes are hitting the stores. It looks like my local isn't getting them, which is no surprise to me. They seem to be struggling.
