Default Litto Gomez Cubano

I am looking for some info on these cigars. I went by Emersons today looking for the 2012's and on my way to the register noticed that I had 3 different cigars from the same box. One had 2012 on the band, one 2009, and the other just says "puro" with no year. I have read a little and see the OR was in 2004, but what I am looking for is how they are released and what year the "no year" one is from. Is it a every few years with a vintage leaf or is it like the Oliva MB 3's that seem to be a regular run even though they have 2006 on the box? The guy behind the counter seemed unimpressed that there were IMHO 3 different cigars in the box and just said "we don't care about years" well I do. I assume the non year one is the oldest due to a yellowish cellophane and having 3 different barcode prices on it. The oldest has a price of 9.00$ even the next 9.45 and the newest is just a barcode. Anyways any help is appreciated and it was the Emersons off of Va Beach Blvd if any VCM or locals are looking, they have a web site as well.

They started the vintage labels in 2009, so the "no year" one is probably from 2008, but could be older.

Try the Oriental, that one really pops, IMO.

Dude, I smoked one of these the other day at a HERF and it made all the other cigars afterwards suck in comparison. I'm really digging Dominican puros right now, but it's hard to find them other than Opus, and Littlo Gomez. I'm derailing this but I'm in contact now with a shop in Charleston SC (Lianos Dos Palmas made by Havacigar) to see if they really have Dominican puros there. If they do I'm going to score a mixed bundle to try out.

Smoked a 2008 for lunch today. Very nice cherry flavors stood out among the more typical leather and earth. Kept wanting to tunnel on me, so it took some attention to keep burning well. A day in the dry box would have helped it.

They are all great smokes, in my humble opinion.
