Has anyone heard of the California Bear?

[rehrlich]

I had a cigar at the local CA BM. It is made by Padilla, no band. The owners said this is a cigar only sold in CA, to help with the taxes. Everyone must sell it for the same price. I can not find any info over the internet on this.

Never seen or heard of it and I lived in cali the past 4 years.

It's hitting the CA market as we speak. We are supposed to get our inventory any day. The CA Bear is a Padilla 1968 in a limited vitola. I had one at the IPCPR and I want to say it is in the range of a 60 ring guage. Hope that helps.

I just purchased a pair of Padilla Golden Bears at the Azucar Cigar lounge before Thanksgiving. I am completely new to the world of cigars, but the gentleman behind the counter recommended this stick as well as an A. Fuente Chateau Fuente. I was told it was only sold in Ca as well.
My brother-in-law and I will hopefully enjoy and I will post a reply this weekend.

I'm only aware of the Golden Bear being limited to California.
