My local has them at $21.00 a stick (toro-ish but not sure). Seems way too expensive. The tobacconist hadn't tried one yet, but you can get an Opus for less and I bet the flavor isn't too much different...and at $21 bucks I'll never know 🙂

Good luck on your quest!

bass, the ESG is the estate sun grown, in short they bought a bunch of Opus wrappers and put them on VSG's.

Top Shelf sounds like a handle for one of them sellers on the Auction sites...........no offense meant

Had one of these last weekend, nice, but not worth the money, coulda gotta 2 Big VSG's for the same price, and been happier

I was just curious since I am not used to seeing him post under this handle - that's all.

Now I guess I'll have to look for these at some point as well.

Hey Country - if Rick does not want yours send me an e-mail.

I picked up a couple ESGs for Rick today, fyi. I was told they were only offered in one size. It's like a corona gorda or whatever you call it...it's BIG! I guess over the next four years they will release one new size every year. Just what I was told.

My initial reaction having smoked only one is that the cigar does not equal the hype.

Loose fill. Uneven burn. Strong but not complex.

I will smoke a few more before I draw a final conclusion.
