Saka's new release of Sobremesa Creme Brulee, some regular, some with sweet tip, some with double sweet. I got a fiver they are bands marked S, T, F, U and !
Anyone know which is which?

yeah, according to the advert, Saka was sick of people claiming the creme brulee was sweet tipped so he did the "Saka's Taste For Urself" sampler

Sobremesa Brûlée first debuted in 2019, becoming a hot topic in craft cigar circles, as many debated whether or not the cigar featured a sweetened tip. Adding fuel to the fire, Saka’s STFU!!! sampler will offer smokers three different variations of the Connecticut-wrapped Brûlée blend: one being the original-release cigar, another featuring the cigar with a sweetened tip, and a third that offers a double-sweetened tip. The final two cigars are random and could be any combination of the aforementioned versions of the Brûlée.

Basically this sampler was put together to get people to STFU, cause the Brûlée doesn’t have a sweetened tip

Exactly! So. Anyone know which is the sweet, double sweet and regular?
I've seen guesses that the S and the ! were regular, the F a single sweet and the T a double. Just wanted to know before I start smoking em

Ahh I got ya, I’m not sure what cigar is what.... that’s my bad I thought you maybe didn’t know the whole story of the sampler.

First off they are sweetened.

I met Saka and heard first hand his whole schpeel and I just smiled.

If you can taste it on the tip but not the rest of the cigar? STFU indeed.

Also, this has really muddied the waters he could have left lie. I’ve had a few samples from different boxes of recent releases that we’re all over the board (sweet, not sweet....production mistakes). My SHPO that doesn’t protect me is a big Dunbarton SHPO (remember I met Saka, guess where) we got a box of Brûlée Blues. I LOVE that CG vitola and really was looking forward to the LE Blue. The SHPO manager told me “nope, you won’t like it it has a sweetened tip”.

Smoking a regular Sobremesa that has had an 18 month nap.
Pretty dang good.
I’m thinking these could be really good in another year or two, or three.

I don't know and haven't pursued the sampler, but I'd guess press release lists as 1st=original, 2nd=sweet, 3rd=2xsweet, then they would be S, T, & F respectively. Otherwise, you'd be smoking something like an FTS!U sampler and that's just silly.

*Disclaimer: Some arbitrary logic may have been applied to this guess

I ordered what I thought were the Blues in a fiver from Cfed but the drop down box malfunction sent me the regulars. by the time I got the package the Blues were already sold out. needless to say I smoked them all ROTT already. I don't have the patience to wait BUT I do have a box takin a nap that is almost 4 months old..for me that is eons.
