Caldwell Nothing You've Ever Heard Of should be coming out soon. Its a pricey release but the initial release will only be 500 boxes(10t).
Crowned Heads also has another LE coming out but won't be easy to get.... http://halfwheel.com/crowned-heads-s...5-hawaii/78898
It's just way to much stuff coming out, I'm really getting tired of trying to keep up with it all. I'm really feeling burnt out and turned off from it all.
Then you don't want to hear Tatuaje is supposed to have a big year. A lot of special retailer releases and killer blends he's bringing back.Quote:

Yea Pete is opening a store in Maine, they bought a old bank and turned the vault into a humidor. KC gave me the whole run down a few months back when I ran into him at an event. Pete and KC are going to be at Famous tomorrow doing a eventQuote:

Not trying to derail this thread but this is a great thread! Thanks for starting it. Now back to your regularly scheduled smoking....
I can see where it gets tiring for him but you have to do something with all those amazing blends. Why not share them with the world and make some money in the process? Plus a lot of his releases are limited but sort of in rotation the way they come and go, which I like.
Its the business model for the industry to constantly churn out new stuff to keep their brands relevant. Which makes the proposed FDA regs so damaging, as every new release would have to under go a full review prior to launch. This is similar to the way Rx drugs are approved, the drug maker pays the FDA a $1.6 million "User Fee" to guarantee the drug is reviewed within a year. However, the FDA rarely makes that deadline with reviews dragging on for up to 2-years. And a review does not guarantee approval, they can simply say No to approval. If cigar makers have to pay a user fee, which it will, there will be very few new releases in the future. It could be why we are seeing such a flurry of activity ahead of the FDA decision.Quote:

Two sizes of the exclusive series will be made available: Salomon, 6 inches by 52 ring gauge, and Belicoso, 6 1/8 by 54. The scope of the Lost Blends release is extremely limited, as only 50,000 cigars will be made available to the public.
I have a hard time believing that. Seems like lately everyone is trying to act like they have all these cigars they just happened to forget about for 10 years before magically finding them again.
I understand all the valid points you guys are making. Just saying it's to much for me. I was trying to keep up with all the new stuff going out but it just was to much for me and it really made me lose interest. I'm at the point where I don't want to sit down and smoke anything longer then a 5x50. It took a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me.
Has there been any word of Tatuaje releasing a TAA 2015? Will it be similar to the 2011/12/14?
No info for that yet. The '14 just came out the last quarter of last year.Quote:

Do we have any info on when the Tat TAA and the 2015 Las Calaveras will be released? I know the TAAs are usually around April but have not heard specifics
I think I saw that the plan is for 2015 Las Calaveras to be released in May. Can't remember where I read that though. (maybe Halfwheel?)Quote:

The Tat TAA gets released in September. The planned release date for Las Calaveras 2015 is May according to Halfwheel but that makes no sense seeing as how Day Of The Dead is Nov 1st which is what the cigar is released in honor of.Quote:
