What is that? Also, what the hell is in the back ground, a fruit bar?

This is a rare stick made by Noel Rojas. Background is just a tablecloth wife picked for the porch table

It's unfortunate but this is the nature of the business. You get a successful brand and you try to maintain the quality but supply of the original tobacco dwindles or is repurposed and eventually, if you do it right, they still sell at a reduced price

It happened with CCs, too, to a lesser degree. The best tobacco tends to end up in the limited/regional releases but with less devalued regular marcas than many NCs.(exceptions: Padron and Fuente - kudos to them)

In the early days Pepin seemed to have no end of excellent tobacco. This was, of course, only a result of it not being spread too thin ... Yet.
