I am a sucker for oddities therefor I am starting to look for strange,odd,rare shaped cigars. I know about the ones listed and common ones like the DE EGG and Puros Indios Chief. Any more info or sources to find some would be appreciated much.

I got these as a gift from the owner of a b&m. Not sure what they run but I know he has a few more.

I would be curious to know if he'd part with one.

James Succio is the owner. Send him an email or give him a call. Pretty sure he'd part with one.

I can't help but comment that the bands are on backwards on these. lol

Lol, yeah, I noticed that too. But seeing as how these are collectibles, they probably won't get smoked. More valuable as a conversation piece. ;)

If you smoked it, your conversation would be like the girl from American Pie..this one time...at the cigar lounge......I had this really cool cigar shaped like a pipe......but I smoked it.

At least he'd stick it in his mouth and not his, well, you know, you saw the movie...:D

Those CAO's are craxy looking but kinda cool. No way I could smoke them and they take up too much room in my humi.

I have a Drew Estate Egg Maduro somewhere. No one mentioned culebras. I think I have a rare Swisher culebra around here that one of the brothers made for me.
I also have some Padilla Burberry's and I think another one that's called a Sol Cubano Artisan?

Opus made a football that's the coolest thing ever. It's worth following the link to see this one (http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=13). I'd like to have two of them under glass. One with a band, one not. It'll never happen, but one can dream. :D

The Padilla Habano was a great smoke when it first came out, Kev. Then it kinda faded of to poop like everything does when it's produced for the masses.
The regular line had all the goodness in the wrapper, so it stands to reason the burberry wouldn't be so good. I think the reviews were "so-so" when it first released, too.

Yah me either, I even picked one up and thought that is funny, put it down and moved on. Didn't really have an interest in them at any price but thought it was cool to see.

I just recently saw the Sopranos set and the price was about 1/2 what it was whn it came out. I can't remember for the life of me where it was, though.
I'm thinking it was under 100 bucks.

I've seen them for around $70 before. But I don't wanna spend my money on something I'm not gonna smoke. Looks kinda cool though. And I'm a huge Soprano's fan (the show, not the cigar).

Yea that's where I'm at too. I want them I really do but then I think I could spend that money on some premium cigars that I will actually smoke.

I have some old boom sticks that are triangle presses. I can't remember who made them but pretty sure it's a brand that faded out with the end of said 90's boom. I can look when I get home if anyone cares. They really are fairly sharp edged triangles though.

Alec-Bradley Trilogy cigars. Which, on the later runs, ceased to be made as triangle-pressed were simply round like most other cigars.

That's the one. I thought it was a Bradley but I couldn't recall. I bought a fiver of these on cbid just for the novelty (and they were cheap!) and was surprised that it actually wasn't bad. Not so that I wanted to buy more, but an okay cigar.

Pretty much the same thing here. Bought it for the novelty, smoked one out of curiosity and had similar feelings, they weren't bad, not great, but not bad. I never did buy more either. lol.

Here's the Pepin bat.

These were rolled by Don Pepin himself at events.

One of these days I really ought to light it up and see how it smokes. Since the foot of the cigar is the bottom (narrow end) of the bat handle, it should be rather interesting with the higher wrapper to filler ratio.

CAO also had a Brazilia vs Italia set a few years ago. May have been offered around the last World Cup? I think it was called "The Artistry of Champions".
http://www.plunderguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/cao-wierd-cigar1.gif

Two Brazilia blends, two Italia blends and one combination called "Britalia".

How was the artisan any better?
