I'll be shocked if it's better than the weekly special.
The La Escepcion III is an excellent cigar at a good price. :thumbs:
JR Weekly Special: La Escepcion Deal for Cigar Vultures
Valid thru Midnight, Wednesday, September 29, 2004, while supplies last.
La Escepcion is a century-old Cuban brand that we reintroduced a few years ago. We were passionate about returning this brand to market because its dress box was one of the finest examples of stone lithography ever created. The current boxes are no different; they are simply stunning pieces of artwork and a wonderful tribute to the classic age of cigar box embossing.
Lew worked closely with Villazon’s Frank Llaneza and master maker Estelo Padron to create cigars worthy of this great brand. Packaged in 20-ct. boxes, no expense was spared in the obtaining of aged, perfectly fermented select filler leaf and some of the richest tasting Ecuador sun-grown wrappers from the Oliva family. Señor Estelo crafted a wonderful medium-to-full-bodied blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan that is a rich symphony of tobacco flavors: spicy and earthy with tastes of espresso and a wonderful caramel-like finish. While this cigar is robust in flavor it remains smooth and creamy, making every puff of its dense smoke better than the last. The La Escepcion is simply one of the best-damn-tasting cigars on the planet.
So it kills us to have to write a deal offering up the few remaining boxes at a deep discount. Truth is, these smokes can go toe to toe with any $12-plus cigar made, but we must quickly make room for the soon-to-be all-maduro Series V release. Currently we have two sizes remaining within each of the existing series. The remaining Series III are aged to perfection and wrapped exclusively in a dark sun-grown capa, while the last of the unique Series IV vitolas feature a strip of oscuro Connecticut broadleaf added to both the foot and head of their sun-gown wrappers, making them slightly earthier and sweeter in flavor.
Flat out, the suggested retail price for these La Escepcions was already one hell of a deal. However, this incredible, clear-them-out discounted rate makes us queasy to even think about. It is like selling bottles of Dom Perignon for the price of soda water! So all you cigar vultures out there, consider this the dinner bell ringing for one of the best cigar deals we have ever been forced to write while we avert our eyes...
