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.

“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.

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

Make sure to note these are not Caldwell cigars. They were found by him in other factories and could be any brand.

they are left overs from high end limited productions cigars. if a comapany rolled 200,000 for a limited run of 150,000 the 50,000 set around an aged and than cadwell "found them in his travels" and is just labeling them and selling them as well aged high end cigars at a more afortable price.
