hmm what exactly is this wet packed you speak of? never heard of it, i think they should make them all have a covered foot, adds that extra deliciousness off the first few puffs and its oh so worth it

I agree as the closed foot is a characteristic of the Black.

very true, anyone know why they stopped? well, i suppose the black tubo has a covered foot but from what i've heard the tubo's don't even compare to any of the other blacks.

Well, it is true that most of the Black Label releases have a covered foot, not all of them do...Here is a photo of every Black Label that has been released...

See here (sorry for the logo, I am lazy and just stole the pics from my review of the PL) From Left to right:

* Corona Gorda (Original Bundle-Closed Foot)
* Corona Gorda (Jar Release-Closed Foot)
* Robusto (1st Event Pack-Closed Foot)
* CRA Toro(Closed Foot)
* Tubo (Closed Foot)
* Corona Gorda (2nd Event Pack-Clean Cut Foot)
* Robusto (2nd Event Pack-Clean Cut Foot)
* Petit Robusot (2nd Release Pack-Clean Cut Foot)
* Petite Lancero (Closed Foot)






So, all of releases other then the three cigars in the New Event Pack (New CG, New Robusto and PR) have covered feet...Pete has said he made those with a clean foot to differentiate between them and the ORs in the same size...

Hope that helps!

Great photos Brooks and at the same time not making the wait any easier.

Wet packing is when the wrap freshly rolled cigars in foil. The theory is that it imrove the aging of the stick since all the freshness (for lack of a better way for me to say it) is kept in the cigar......

YMMV

aahhh kinda like illusione MJ12. thats a pretty cool idea, but does it actually work? first thing that comes to mind is higher chance of mold on the cigar.
