Some of the reviews online speak of it like it came from God. CA also gave it a 93. It is a pretty rare stick. They only released 1000 boxes this year.

Have you had one? What did you think?

The price also seems to vary an unusual amount. Singles for 8.95 at one site.
5-packs for 70 at another.

And I have a feeling the ones on cbid that were put up 3/11 will hit 15 for a single.

I've seen a box for 200 and one for 300.

none of it makes sense, but when the word "rare" is thrown in there. Maybe it does.

I've smoked several of these sticks, and I have to tell you it is damn good! I payed 9.00 a stick at the local B@M. I've seen boxes on the internet from 160.00 to 300.00 but if I remember correctly Holt"s had them for 175.00 and IMO they would be the best one to buy from.

I really like the robusto preferido. FOr some reason I think the blend works better in the robusto than in the other sizes ( with the exception of the number 3 which is the smalest one). They run about 9 bucks a stick and if Holts did have em for that price snap them up immediately.

Thanks for your input.

holts, famous, CI, and cigar.com all have them by the box.

CI has 5packs.

Cigar.com has them for 9. cbid has them, and are being bidded on over 9.

I have purchased the 6 pack sampler box a few times.

Each time I got them from Famoussmoke.com cigar auction. It comes with 2 each of the #1,#2, and #3's. in a nice little cidar box. I have never paid more then $51 bucks for the six pack.

With that said..I really do think they are a fine smoke and I will continue to bid on them when they come up for auction..

i like this cigar but at 9 bucks their are better to be had.such as...
oliva masterblend 3 rubusto
graycliff crystal taco
padron 1926 No 35
padron 1964 diplmatico
AVO domaine(sp?)
...to name a few

Had one at Curtis Draper's in DC. Very good smoke!

I bought a few to stick in the humi but haven't tried one yet

Holt's has them for $175 for a box of 25. That's 7 bucks a stick. I bought a box about a year ago and have smoked a few of them. They are a very good smoke. They are not as strong as a VSG or Padron '64 (other favorite smokes) but have their own unique appeal.

If you like cameroons, I think this is best the thing going. $175 for a box of these is a great price. I paid about $200 for my box. I assume Holt's is an internet retailer?

To answer your question....Yes and No. Holts is in Downtown Philly but also has a catalogue and internet site.
