I didn't view the Countdown Clock, but a letter from CAO to one of my local B&Ms seemed to indicate that they will be out mid-February. Due to the elaborate box design, the cost of which will go directly into the price of the cigars, I suspect some sizes may eclipse ten bucks (I thought I saw up to 13 somewhere but can't recall where so don't quote me). The one I was gifted from the RTDA I smoked around August. It was average at best and not very memorable, IMHO. I will try another one as I usually won't judge a cigar by just one experience. Who know, I may enjoy it the second time around.
