Yes, Jack Schwartz has them. To me, because of the $17 price tag, this is one of those "try-one-once-if-at-all" cigar, for I cannot afford more than one. I did go against all reason and got 3 this time, but when they're gone, they are gone. I think this is the only cigar over $15 I've done that on. Normally I try one and that's it, but because of the previous releases and trying one each, I knew that these would be special. So, 1 to smoke, and 2 to put away to save for something special - Packer 2011 Super Bowl? Yeah, that'd be a good reason.

It is interesting that some of the special releases have a similar price tag, but I rarely buy them. Like the Tats. I haven't had a Frank or a Face, I got the Drac and the Boris, but wasn't really excited about the Drac and the Boris still sits. I wasn't a big fan of the Tat red or black tubos (which someone gave to me), so I didn't see the reason to spend the money on them. Other special Tat releases I also haven't gotten since to my tastes they are hit or miss, and I'm not spending $10+ on a cigar I might not really enjoy. In the same way, I have had a few Viajes, nothing impressed me, so all the special releases, while tempting, were not enticing enough to make me pull the trigger.

I love Padrons, but I don't buy '64s or '26s till I can get them for around $10 a stick. As for the ones over $20 a stick??? If I wouldn't have been gifted them, I wouldn't have had those to try.

Why I went on that rambling excursion of diarrhea of the keyboard, I have no idea. It is typed, so it will be sent.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

See now you have to go clean that up.

I agree on the pricing on a lot of the special releases these days. I like to have a treat now and then. I for sure will not be running out to get a huge box of these. But like you 2 or 3. I never get just one in the off chance that it is a bad stick. I fell if I am going to spend the money I should give the cigar the best chance at success so I normally hold judgement till I have had 2 or 3 for that reason.
