Yeaup. My friend who told me about my source got two which he has agreed to trade to me. (he'll make out). So I'll end up with 4. I had to drive 35 fricken miles at lunch and find a place I've never been to get the two I have. It was a pain. When I brought them back to the office, people said "oh, cigar run?" I said, yeah, they're rare and special cigars, 15 bux a pop. Only 165 boxes made, drove 35 miles, etc... They just look at me and shake their heads...

I called the closest shop to me (Arizona) that got them, and the owner said that 5 boxes came in ... and 5 boxes went out in the same day ...

... all to local customers. He said not a single one left the state, but he's had hundreds of calls from all over the country (and several international) inquiring about them!

Nutty ... but being the first release, and extremely limited ... they will get it.

That other site had a guy selling singles for $100 apiece!

Yes, Slim, I too called this afternoon. He said he sold them all the same day. I figured since I was here in AZ, I'd have a shot. Oh well. Collectors no doubt or people eager to post them for auction. Just can't see that they are better than the 858 so it must be the rarity in it all. Personally, I don't collect cigars; I smoke them. Interesting to see the outrageous prices on auction for a cigar someone will never smoke. What a waste. To each his/her own. I think I'll head on out to the patio now.

The gods must be laughing. $100 bucks for a cigar. Buy a few aged Habanos for that and forget you ever heard of 'em.

Picked up my other 2 today, bringing my total to 4 :-) I haven't tried one yet. I think that will be a treat for my first fathers day this spring :-). I got out all my Fuentes (official Fuente's with Fuente bands, not counting the myriad of other Fuente products) and took a pretty a$$ kickin pic showcasing the 4 new gars with all their "cousins". It's not up yet, but when it is, feast you eyes, and have your drool cloth ready...

Rare hemmingways with sun grown wrappers. Only 165 boxes made... Slim posted a pic of two on the pics board. My pic isn't up yet. Probably tomorrow when the board ops come to work.

... and only 29 tobacconists in the US got them, 4 of which received 10 boxes, and the rest only 5 boxes.

In order to get them ... they had to win the Fuente Window Display Contest.

MOST tobacconists sold out the day they got them, with a few exceptions.
