Impromptu Cigars

[Old Smokey]

Did anyone here get any of these cigars from SmallBatch today? They went on sale at 1pm pacific time today and I was all cocked and loaded to pounce. At exactly 1pm I quickly put a 4pk in my cart, went to enter to pay and they were all sold out. In less than 1 minute? Geesh, I must be getting really old.

Did anyone do better than I did?

Nope. I was going to buy a couple but no dice. Sold out. Maybe next time if there is a next time.

Recieved the e-mail and had no idea what it was in reference to? I thought it was an impromptu cigar sale, had no clue there was a brand by that name.

Wham bam thank you mam! Gone with the wind. Six minutes just gone maybe next time.

“These cigars are a limited production of very well aged cigars that Caldwell found while traveling through the Dominican Republic. I found them fascinating and we decided to share them with you. There is a very small quantity of them so enjoy them while they’re around.”

"Fascinating" is an interesting term for a cigar. Could mean anything. Sounds like they found them in the back of some farmer's shed or something.

The other descriptors in the links above such as "cedar," "leather," "toast" and "pepper" are indicative (to me) of the harsh, dry Nicaraguan sticks I tend to avoid. Eg., Padrons. Perhaps these are lighter and not as overpowering, though. Would be interested to read some reviews.

You have to be quick on the draw!

Managed to scoop up a pack of Cream Machines on Smallbatch last night.

I've only had Caldwell JV sticks so far but if they're any indication then I have high expectations for these.

Awesome to all the dudes that managed to pick up!

Didn't quite get the price justification on this. Just rare tobacco/cigars that Caldwell et. al. orchestrated the sale of?? Not a big Caldwell guy, didn't bother to hunt.
