I opened my mailbox today and there is a box. I'm not expecting any packages. The return address is from shpo in Florida. I open it and there is a 10 count box of:

Tatuaje L'esprit de Verite 2009

Then I see the note from Slim wishing me a "prosperous New Year and all the best". I have never had one of these exceptional cigars but now how can 2012 be anything but a great year?!

Slim, I'm stunned and all I can say is a heartfelt thank you. My wife always says the longest thing I have is my memory and this will not be forgotten.

May your 2012 be all the best as well. 🍺

You won't like those cigars. Send them this way and I'll dispose of them for you. Someone has to do it right?

Greatly done here Slim.

DED, have you had a chance to try the 2008?

Personally the 2009 is way better IMO.

Enjoy

^ Never had any of these but I have been slim-slapped on numerous occasions and still have the road rash to show for it.

Hey DED ... I believe it was you that turned me on to my first Tatuaje (Cabaiguan Guapos ... wasn't it ???) when you sent me that Ashton Crystal Ashtray engraved with 'slimboli' on it. I thougt it fitting ... and was hoping that you hadn't tried them yet.

It's been awhile since I sent cigars your way. Long overdue .. and a good time to do it. Especially since they are no longer in production and a pretty 'unconventional' cigar. It's one of kind ... no other cigar in the word has been produced in the way that this one was produced. In a non traditional fashion, the aging step of placing tobacco in bales has been skipped and the decision was made to let the tobacco age in the form of a completed cigar using tobacco from a single vintage and a single farm. And it even has 10% of the best tobacco (I feel) in the world. Pelo de Oro ... and my worst fears have been confirmed. Don Pepin Garcia confirmed that he will not grow it again. It's just to hard to grow... apparently requires a lot of work and is susceptible to every plant disease known to exist.

Since the 2009's are no longer in production and all have been released ... they are not easy to find (at a decent price anyway). I found them for much less that the rediculous pricing scheme that Pete set up for them ... and sent you the last box they had. Some places I found (that even have them in stock) are asking $200+ for a box of 10 for the 2nd label (robusto) ... OUCH !!!

I love 'em ... one of my recent favorites ... and I made sure that I had a good stock of the in my humidor as well.

Enjoy them my friend,

Slim
