Fuente Chateau Pyramid at Jack Schwartz Importer

[JackSchwartz]

We just received the new Arturo Fuente Chateau Pyramid. The cigars measure 6 x 52. Single cigars go for $6.90 and a box of 25 is $155. They are only available in a Natural wrapper.

On to some cigar news:

Lost City OpusX

I got a phone call from Prometheus the other day, they informed me that they had to raise the price on a couple of their new items coming out later this month.

The Lost City OpusX humidors are going from $1995 to $2250 (both the Green and Blue). They also informed me that the 2009 Opus22 set is going from $750 back up to $950. No explination was offered for the price increases.

If you have a Pre-Order in with us for any of the items mentioned above I want to let you know that we are honoring the original price on these items.


La Flor Dominicana

It looks like La Flor Dominicana has a shortage of Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro. There are a couple cigars that are going to be hard to find for a little while. I believe they are hoping for a one to two month wait for certain cigars. Here is the list of cigars they have on backorder:

Premium Line: Grand Maduro No.5, Grand Maduro No.6, and Grand Maduro No.7

Reserva Especial Line: El Jocko Maduro No.1

Ligero Oscuro Cabinets: L 300, L 400, and L 500

Double Ligero Line: DL 452 Maduro, DL 700 Maduro, Chisel Maduro, and Churchill Especiales

Limited Edition Line: DL Lancero Oscuro, Grand Maduro Cabinet No.5, and No.6



If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Sincerely,
Eric

Has anyone tried the AF Chataeu Pyramid? If so what did you think of it?

-Steven

Yeah, had one yesterday and it was tasty! Burned perfect and I nub'd it. Medium bodied, sweet, creamy smoke.

 

[JackSchwartz]

Damn you Eric!

Thanks for the heads-up. Order placed.

Thanks for the order, Matt. Last box of Oscuro Lanceros heading your way today.

Just to let everyone know, I still have enough LFD Oscuro Lanceros to put together a couple more 10-Lancero Samplers. These are 10 assorted Lanceros with a regular retail price of $86.80. We knocked the price down to $65 and will give you free UPS Ground shipping (in the continental U.S.).

You get one each of:

Joya de Nicaragua Antano
Nestor Miranda
San Cristobal
La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial
Rocky Patel Decade
Don Pepin Blue Fundadore
LFD Double Ligero
LFD Oscuro
LFD Cameroon
Coronado


Also, we now have the new blend of La Aroma de Cuba in stock. They scaled the line down to five sizes. All sizes are in stock right now.

If you are a fan of the original La Aroma de Cuba blend you may want to think about picking some up. Ashton has discontinued the original Honduran blend and will only be making this new Nicaraguan blend. We still have a couple sizes of the original La Aroma de Cuba blend available.


Finally, I want to let everyone know we are now carrying Exile Wired cigars. These grabbed my attention when they received a "Best Buy" rating in Cigar Aficionado last year. I had the opportunity to sample one at the show this year and was really impressed not only with the blend but with the price. I brought in four sizes of Exile Wired.

Corona Gorda (5 1/2 x 44)
$4.50/ea.
$97.00/box of 24

Double Corona (7 1/4 x 52)
$6.00/ea.
$129.50/box of 24

Rothschild (4 1/2 x 52)
$5.00/ea.
$108.00/box of 24

Torpedo (6 x 52)
$5.50/ea.
$118.50/box of 24



Thanks,
Eric

Thanks, for the PM. I'll keep the cigars safe till you're back in the States.

The way Brandon pays people back, that might not be a bad investment.

That is really a stand-up move on your part. I haven't been buying much for the last stretch but after that and a few other things I have seen you do you will definitely be getting future business from me.

That goes for me as well. Awesome thing to see someone do....

 

[JackSchwartz]

At $750 I was only able to pre-sell one of those Opus22 sets. I really don't believe anyone will be picking them up at $950 now!

I know I told everyone I would be selling the Lost City OpusX New Perfecto and Love Affair individually. This price increase kind of threw a wrench in the system. I'm sorry I have not been able to get anything up on our website regarding these cigars. Right now it looks like I will only be able to steal cigars from two of the humidor sets. That means I'm looking at only 20 cigars of each new size. That's assuming we get all the humdiors we ordered. I don't want to put anything on the website or take any kind of orders till I know we will definitely have some available. Because it looks like we will have just a few of these cigars I will only offer them to the folks here at Cigar Pass. If you are interested in any of these new sizes please shoot me a PM. I'll get in touch when the cigars are available. I'm going to take orders on a first come first served basis. Grateful1 is first in line (and first in your hearts, I'm sure

). When I know the price and availability I'll start replying to PM's and taking orders.

I know it's a little bit of a mess with all this. I apologize. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me. Our toll free number is: 888-733-5225. You can always send me a PM or an email.

Thanks,
Eric
