Buddha Daddy sent me an OR Cupido Tuxedo Toro MANY years ago, and it sat in my humi for a LONG time before I got around to smoking it. It was one of the BEST cigars I had ever smoked, and when I told Buddha Daddy as such, he said, 'Yeah . . . It's a shame they were DC'd a few years ago.
(The story of my life.

Jump ahead a few more years . . .
While searching around the web for something else, I stumbled across a site that had Cupido cigars listed.
Sure enough, when I went to the site, THERE they were, in all vitolas, and IN STOCK !
One USPS delivery later, I had a box of Torps in my possession ! I was VERY disappointed when I lit one up, as it burned hot and harsh. I contacted the site that I purchased them from, and found out that these WERE NOT the original blend, and they really needed some Humi time to come into their own.
6 months later, some improvement, but nothing to write home about.
At 1 year, MUCH better, but not even close to the OR.
At 2 years, OMG ! What a great cigar. (not as great as the OR, though, but STILL great.)
I bought up all that I could afford over the next few years, until they were Out of Stock !
Contacting the site, I got NO INFO as to when they would return. That was a few years ago.
