These arrived last week....they are called Mr X.......no real info on them, but they come from Cigar Federation and they don't play around when it comes to sticks:
Here is the info from the site:
The Mr. X is a cigar that we had to move heaven and earth to bring you. Literally, a deal had to be stuck in a smoke-filled back room to make this happen. Here’s the story…
While on a previous trip to Nicaragua, our group visited a particular factory owner for dinner—which was an acquaintance at the time, but has since become a better friend. Wanting always to impress, this gentleman pulled cigars from his coat pocket after the meal and announced we were about to smoke his new favorite blend.
First light. Amazing! Second puff. Memorizing! We hounded him through the first half of the cigar for the story behind this magnificent blend. Relenting, he told us in very vague terms that this was his variation of a blending project with another company. They had chosen a slightly different recipe, but that he thought this one—his blend—was much more refined. In fact, he liked it so much that he had several hundred rolled for his personal humidor.
The rest of the cigar was spent begging him for a bundle to bring home. But that was met with a chuckle, a dismissive wave of the hand and a shaky promise in broken English of “maybe next time you visit if any are left.”
When we launched the Factory Direct Boutique program, I called him up wanting to feature some of the great cigars we’d smoked months before. After weeks of negotiation via email and phone, I took another trip to the factory where he finally agreed but with a long list of conditions.
What’s the factory? Can’t tell you.
What’s the blend? No clue. Other than it’s Nicaraguan.
Who’s the man? I’d have to kill you.
So at long last, we are pleased to make this Mr. X available to you. Get them before he changes his mind, cuts off our supply, and keeps these for himself.
