I did a Google search ... and the only place they showed up was at CB (heck, you can't even find them at CI online). I also couldn't even find any info on them ...

What that possibly means ... is that it was just another one of the tail-end 'cigar boom' lines that bit the dust, and they are just selling out the remaining inventory.

Personally ... I never did like that many (if any) of Felipe Gregorio's lines of cigars. I would be wary of his so called 'higher-end, super-pricy cigar', although this one might turn out to be his only 'good' cigar!

I would appreciate both of your feedbacks on this one ... so keep us all posted.

Slim,

I did a Google too before posting. (didn't want to get ___ slapped !!) LOL

I only saw them on CB. I have had a Petrus cigar a while back and I think it was OK.

I'll let you know after smoking one...

There's a short mention of the Petrus Fortus Anejo in the November issue of Smokeshop magazine. Here's short quote:

"The Petrus Fortus Añejo by Felipe Gregorio is a blend of aged Dominican Piloto Cubana and Brazilian Mata Fina tobaccos, finished with a dark Cameroon wrapper. They are described as “subtle” in strength with a “rich, long-lasting taste,” and are available in three sizes: Añejo 1 (7 x 48) at $16 retail, Añejo 2 (6 x 54) at $15 retail, and Añejo 3 (53/4 x 46) at $14 retail."

These are definitely a high-end cigar that was only marketed through small boutique shops.

What I find a little confusing is that the Don Melo Centenario, a very high end limited-edition cigar, with a wrapper of shade-grown Connecticut/Cuban-seed hybrid tobacco was made by Phil Wynne (Felipe Gregorio) but is now listed as a brand owned and manufactured by Altadis.

Thanks Steve,

The description on CB says #1 but lists the 5-3/4 x 46 size... Do you know which it is on CB ??

I guess $15 for the 5 pack ain't too bad, huh ?

Low

Hope they're not really DR's.

Truer words never spoken. We've all made the great buy, only to discover that the price was right, but the cigar was wrong.

Well, I just purchased a box of 20 of these (Petrus Fortus Añejo) for $40+ship. My wife is going to shoot me dead.

Anyone wanna split the box?

Won a 5 pack and smoked two of these shortly after receiving them. Good flavor, medium body. A great value at $3 cigar. Don't think they would rate too high at the suggested retail of $14 however. Won a box about two weeks later. Stangely, the box is a generic white wood box, with no mention of the brand.
