I've never seen these before. Are they new production or have they just mysteriously appeared. Has anyone tried one? Opinions?

if you are referring to the 2 shaded wrapper that looks almost like a barber pole or ribboning, i think i have seen them made by fuente.

RICKAMAVEN -- if you read the title of the thread ... he's asking about the Fittipaldi, not the Fuente BTL !!!

Yes ... I heard that Fitapaldi would be coming out with these over a year (or was it rwo) ago ... and haven't heard anyting about them since.

At the time ... the write-up on them was very favorable ... and sounded like it was going to be a cigar that was going to be pretty good.

You can get them? If so ... give us a review!

They look cool. I've had a couple fittipaldi's. Not bad. Real mild though. These just look fun to take one out in mixed company.

DOH !!!

I just checked the CI site ... and sure enough ... there they were!

At least I didn't overbid too much ... only $1 more than they sell them for at their retail site ... LOL!

I didn't put a bid in for one. Some dufus named KP bid over the CI price.

Oh..wait...I didn't see the above post.

Sorry Slim. Just take pride in knowing you got them for way less than retail...and if you had other bids you won that day...you saved on shipping. Overall cheaper than CI site.
