I've never seen these before. Are they new production or have they just mysteriously appeared. Has anyone tried one? Opinions?

if you are referring to the 2 shaded wrapper that looks almost like a barber pole or ribboning, i think i have seen them made by fuente.

RICKAMAVEN -- if you read the title of the thread ... he's asking about the Fittipaldi, not the Fuente BTL !!!

Yes ... I heard that Fitapaldi would be coming out with these over a year (or was it rwo) ago ... and haven't heard anyting about them since.

At the time ... the write-up on them was very favorable ... and sounded like it was going to be a cigar that was going to be pretty good.

You can get them? If so ... give us a review!

I didn't see that he had double posted ... and then saw that Heg had posted this:

Rick even posted on this thread ... I guess the memory is the first to go ... hehehe ... and just teasing you a little, Rick!

Slimboli

go where?

They look cool. I've had a couple fittipaldi's. Not bad. Real mild though. These just look fun to take one out in mixed company.

Thanks rayder1, for the link ...

... I've been wanting to try these for quite some time, now it looks like I will get that chance ... LOL!

DOH !!!

I just checked the CI site ... and sure enough ... there they were!

At least I didn't overbid too much ... only $1 more than they sell them for at their retail site ... LOL!

Slim,you been BUSTED,LOL. X

... I'm so ashamed ...

I didn't put a bid in for one. Some dufus named KP bid over the CI price.

Oh..wait...I didn't see the above post.

Sorry Slim. Just take pride in knowing you got them for way less than retail...and if you had other bids you won that day...you saved on shipping. Overall cheaper than CI site.

So...how are they???

... won't know until I get them, and they don't ship until Thursday the 22nd ...

Those would look nice in my display humi.
