That's OK because they just released a limited edition Don Carlos Eye of the Shark and my shpo accidentally got a big shipment of them!
Actually, the ones that everyone here fell in love with WERE the 2nd generation Tuxedos.
I only had the pleasure of smoking an "
original blend" one time.
I had gotten it from Buddha Daddy many many years ago, and it sat in my humi for another couple of years before I finally got around to lighting it up. It was one of the best cigars I had ever smoked. When I contacted BD to find out where he got it, he told me that they had been discontinued.
A few years later, I found out that they were being re-released.
The rest is history.
