Do you know what they cost in Vegas by any chance? Bummed about the delay on the Pinks but glad they’re making up for it

Seems odd to me because in June the Vegas store was so short, they had bare shelves and wouldn't sell me a box (in fact, I was limited to 3 per size).

Might make a run up there in a couple weeks and can sniff around.

TJ, how were they priced when you bought some? Some Lanceros sound tasty!

[josh lucky 13]

Doubt I see any but if I do will let people know.

[SoCal gunner]

TJ, how were they priced when you bought some? Some Lanceros sound tasty!Lanceros are unobtainium. I've asked every visit for the last ~7 years.

Other sizes range from $18-25ish. I've always attributed the price to cost of rent and licensing, exclusivity/availability (only place), and that is thought to be an Opus in Cameroon. Well, that and they're fricken good - lol.

I'll keep the streak alive in a couple weeks and keep you posted. In the mean time, do you want to try a Corona Gorda?

[josh lucky 13]

There for a bit 8 or so years ago my friends wife went to Vegas for some conference couple years in a row. I think I have 1 casa fuente lancero.

From what I can gather thats the hardest to get.

I have a single in my special occasion box. And seeing as today is my birfday, I will smoke it later today. Waking up and realizing I haven't died yet is about as special as it gets. i believe it is a Corona Gorda.

What the hell don't they know whose birthday it is?

We were invited to my sons house for supper and stayed until about 9pm visiting. I could have smoked it over there, but didn’t want to sit out in the intermittent misty rain. I just decided I would wait
until I could relax and enjoy it. It just wasn’t a big deal to me.

Bob, those beans were hand picked by Juan Valdez cousin, Wino Valdez.

[allusred]

Bob, those beans were hand picked by Juan Valdez cousin, Wino Valdez.

Now that is something I did not know. Jealousy is most likely the reason cousin Wino is less well known than Juan. While the Movie about J. Valdez does show his young son running thru the fields to bring lunch to His father, who had been picking the coffee beans since the first rays of sunlight and continued picking till the Sun goes down.Many among the millions of viewers of the Juan Valdez Story must have wondered about the fate of Juan's kid,who never got a chance to go to school. Yeah tho nothing is known of that kid's fate. It takes a fair amount of research to learn of Wino's Daughter,other than the fact that She was oddly named Pig a name given affectionately because of Her keen sense of smell. Her father Wino surely owes his great success to the fact that in His usual state of inebriation He brewed and sold those cherries as coffee. Wino Valez. the black sheep of the family Valdez with His Wife Sooey and daughter Pig exiled to Indonesia tho less well known than Juan Valdez fared rather well as sales of their Kopi Luwak coffee took off.
Thanks again Ole Smokey for the inspiration to research a little more deeply into the story of this coffee.

[jhedrick83]

Great, now I have to quit my job to spend all day driving around looking for them. The orange footband corona gordas are literally my favorite cigar of all time.

[Old Smokey]

Apparently these Casa Fuentes are hitting the stores. It looks like my local isn't getting them, which is no surprise to me. They seem to be struggling.

[AlanS]

Saw a guy on a different forum got a box in the mail a couple days ago. Not sure from where but I’ll keep an eye out

Keep an eye out on the For Sale section for a schmokin deal. I will post at 9pm central. I wish I could hook up all the Bums who want some of these, but I will only have 3-5ers for grabs.

If you want some of these, set your timer. I think these will go quickly!

Edit- I have decided to do 4-4packs so 1 more Bum can get a few.

[SoCal gunner]

Well, they still don't have any out of the ordinary Fuentes here and hardly any of the house sticks (limit 1).

I paid $27 for Churchill for reference.

Do they come with a girl or are they filled with cocaine?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
$900.00 requires a bit of evaluating.

*First. number of cigars, rarity,purity~quality, value of and usefulness of the box, pleasure enjoyment this being limited by that number of cigars.

*Second.Girl is a single. Quality, purity This is a tricky bit,likely to be a matter of the customer's viewpoint, after all there's the consideration of Age,while not quite the same as in relation to the cigars,still definately important.Here too freshnees matters,too Young is a no no. Cigars may age well sometimes.but there is certainly an upper limit for the Girl's age surely above 140 Years would be too old.Then there is the box value,and here the girl,if (She's) quality has to be of far greater value.There may be a few "cons"such as maintenance,needs more than correct temperature/moisture,would have to be fed. Doubtless there are other factors that would need thinking about,and one not to be ignored is the issue of legal use.Important that is.

*Third. Cocaine. No way,even if the buyer were an addicted sniffer,bicycle seats etc. $900.00 of this stuff would have a shorter use life time. Thus this third option or choice can quickly be forgotten.

Thanks EMP You've given cigarbums a lot to think about.Thinking is hard,thinking give Me a headache...even tho the Madam was right when She said "It has to be hard to be good."
Been kinda long day,but thanks again EMP for shining light into the darkest nooks & crannies.

It seems Fuente is hit by disaster every few years. Hurricane did massive damage, followed a few years ago with a cargo container full of Fuentes in Tampa and now a portion of this years Opus wrapper destroyed. I hope they have great insurance.
