Are these smokes that hard to find, or am I just not looking on the right web sites? I've checked JR's, CI, Famous, and probably 6 or 7 others... no gottum.
I realize they are a limited production item, but.. where ARE they?

Ok, brain fart. I've been looking at too many premiums.. I "disremembered" the name. I'm trying to find the Reserva Figurados. Any ideas? Has anybody tried them and hated them?
any help will be appreciated.
 
I'd certainly like to buy a few to see what they are like. If you could let me know prices of singles I'd really appreciate it.
I'm a little leery of buying boxes of pricier smokes not knowing if they are my "cup of tea" or not.
Thanks for the help.
 
I have tried a couple of these and they are very enjoyable IMHO. They are a little stronger than normal LGCs but have some interesting changes throughout the stick. I had a little bit of a burn issue with one of them but the others have seemed quite consistent as EPC says that they are made by his highest level rollers I should hope they would be. Just my $.02.

great... Thanks. Maybe they even have a webpage? It surprises me how many small operations have web presences now. Guess I'm behind the times. :blush:
 
IMHO they are great cigars. I have a box of the larger of the perfectos...the Selectos de Lujos (or something like that). I actually think they are a bit milder, though more flavorful, than the regular LGCs or Series Rs. I can't wait for the the 2005 installment to come out.

And yes, they are hard to find right now. A limited number were released in November 2004 and the 2005's have not hit the shelves yet. If I see any about, I'll let you know.

Dang, now I REALLY want to try some. :laugh:

That's one of the three sizes made last year. According to General Cigar this years release will be the same sizes, along with 2 new sizes in both natural and maduro.
