If they were more widely available would that diminish the high ratings of this cigar? Scarcity can sometimes make something better than it normally would be...
I dont think so.

Had my first one last week... fantastic! I wish I had known NOT to snork this cigar, I thought my sinuses were going to explode.

ok, NOW I will take my words about Greg back! Bombing a tat black doesn't fit in an 'all talk' profile, great bomb Greg!

A tasty smoke, to be sure. Too bad they are so hard to come by!

I have a couple of the jars and I've read that Pete may do a special refill the jar promo. I have also heard rumors that they may release bundles of Blacks without the jar and was hoping that this was happening when I read Dunng's post.

I have one full jar that I'm trying to hold off on opening until they are 5 years old. I only have a few left from the first jar and I'm hoping Pete will release some more before they are gone.

Take care
Ken

the bundles have already been released and are slowly hitting a few of the larger dealers.



i broke into the bundle in the middle so ignore the packaging. they come in bundles of 25 in cellophane.

i heard that it's not the blacks in the tubes but a regular production in the tube.

Looks like I need to start hitting the B&M.

What are they charging for a bundle of 25?

Thank you very much for the information.

What size are the cigars that come in the bundles?

It is hard to see through the packaging, but it looks like they no longer have the tit on the cap or the shag foot.

Thanks again.

cigar price should be 13$ per the MSRP. you can find them under that. i scored a bundle for 200$ plus shipping last month. just shows you how much markup there can be.

So you would go along with the scarcity theory that since they are hard to get is why they taste better?

I've never had one but I'll remedy that in 09 I'm sure! LOL!

a vendor on one of the forums. keep in mind once a vendor gets a bundle it could be a long while if ever before they get anymore.
