Hey Beat,
Yes, they're available elsewhere but those sources show signs of drying up. When 1st introduced they were offered in in 4 variations: naturals, maduros, oscuros, and a mixed box with 25 of each type. I like the oscuros the best. But you like what you like. Although judging from your posts and our trades I think we have similar tastes. You may not be aware of it, but I pay attention to your posts,(and those of one or two others), because of this. You haven't steered me wrong yet. The box works well as a humidor, too.
I think I might have sent you a couple in one of our trades, didn't I?
I'm treating the rest of my stash of these very carefully. I like this cigar as much as any I've ever smoked. And soon they'll be gone FOREVER!!! sniff, sniff
BTW, I'm still trying to get hold of a couple Partagas Spanish Rosados that I saw you comment on. Ironically, they've been going for over retail on CBID so I'm biding my time.
