For 13 years, Fuente's Cigar Family Charitable Foundation has been making the Toast Across America cigars, and smoke shops in all the United States and Canada have helped raised over $3 million towards helping impoverished communities in the Dominican Republic. In 2019, the Toast Across America contains two specially made cigars that customers can only get in this sampler: a Diamond Crown Julius Caeser and an Arturo Fuente Opus X in the Shark format. All proceeds from the sale go 100% to the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation, neither retailers nor Newman or Fuente families make one single penny from the sale of these cigars.

$25 a stick. That is an expensive cigar for my budget. 🤦

But for charity. And they're in the shark configuration.

The trident joint has them in stock. Is it worth it other than the charity aspect of it? I don't really get the hubbub over the sharks. But maybe I'm missing something.

What do you guys think?

Thanks Rick. The offer is greatly appreciated!

I got a couple from the trident place. Used the wheel of fortune so I got them for under $80 with free shipping. Into the winador they'll go. I've got one Opus I just picked up from Craig's shelter bid to try. That'll hold me over for a bit. 😃

LOL. Given we've both ridden the short boats to work, I reckon we'll get by. But I appreciate the warning.

I'm still pissed I couldn't make your last Vegas trip.

No Vegas for Ron next year but I’m thinking of going in April to check out the NFL draft in LV.

If not then, then early October 2021 might be the next trip.

I buy a couple boxes every year to support the CFCF.

I usually don't smoke an Opus for at least 5 years, 10+ they get even gooder. =p~

Right? Being a noob that's tough though. I want to try them NOW!

I know, patience, virtue, all that nonsense. But damn. The Iceolation period is bad enough, but then to know they're in there, waiting, patiently. I hate to neglect my loved ones. 😁
