    So he does make San Miguel, I've been really impressed with that cigar. He's really on a roll this year, and I thought he was making some great cigars before, but he's really upped his game.

    It's a small batch run of either 50k or 30k cigars. I forget off the top of my head as I am not by my notes. Habano wrapper the had made in a small Nicaraguan factory. 2 years cedar aging after rolling. Strength profile is similar to the crystal but the blend is competely different. I smoked one and thought it was pretty good. I think I still prefer the original crystal but this one had some nice aging notes to it.

    ill try to work up a sampler but it may be december by the time i have enough inventory and armada for sure wont be in it just because of availability. what few I had for samplers are going in the christmas top tier sampler and for cigar of the month club sign ups.

    New signups after 11/1 should get a three pack gratis with their first months shipment. I am working on something for existing members who want to get in on it so they dont have to quit and sign back up. The boxes wont be in until mid november now. I got a few sticks in to accommodate the top tier sampler.

    I stand corrected in my statement, thanks for the clarification lol

    Very cool, I really like the Crystal so I'd be interested to see where this is similar and where it differs. Another question, do you recall the dimensions?

    are you still thinking about some kind of mow armada 5pk deal or something for us lowly forum members? If not, that's cool, I know these sticks are in very short supply and wanna save them for COTMC sign ups.

    From the top tier sampler thread:
    Alex Svenson:
    wwhwang:
    Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Is there any word on the COTM Armada 3 pack and the 3 pack Armadas for 20 bucks for active CCom BOTL?
    We will be doing a limited number of 3 packs at a special marketing price for a limited number of customers when they land. Wont be until mid november at least. Not sure how many will be available and what is will be a strict limit of one per customer. Only 300 boxes for 2010 and probably only 300 for all of next year. Will keep you guys posted. All new COMC signups after 11/1 will get the three pack with their first months shipment since they go out at the end of each month.

    Morro is a nice smoke. Sumatra Ecuador wrapper in a medium/ medium to full format. Cigars are supposed to have a sharp price but I don't have all the info though I have smoked a couple. Nice blend, with some round complexity and balance. Morro castle is a famous lighthouse in Cuba. Should be promising.
  • lilwing88lilwing88 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,787
    Just smoked the San Lotano Maduro and Habano. Both really good. I have to favor the habano slightly. It was a bit more complex and burned very nicely. The maduro was very full but didn't have too much going on flavor-wise. Although, it was pretty smooth. I think it will improve with some age. I can't wait to try the others.
  • ljlljl Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 819
    The new catalog was a great surprise. I was drooling over all the new AJ blends. The wife referred to me as a "cigar nerd" when I told her that AJ seems to be doing some great things with a Sungrown Sumatra Ecuador wrapper right now. If there is a new AJ dirty dozen with a few of the latest blends out there, I will be in.
