I know we just got a lot more new Tats a couple of weeks ago at IPCPR but here are a couple of other things Pete has on the way:
First is a House Blend for Holts called the "Holts Cabinet Selection". Three sizes - Robusto, Torpedo, and Toro. Supposed to be very full-bodied. I ordered a few singles and hope to have them sometime next week.
The other stick apparently won't be released until around the 4th of July, 2011. It's called the M-80 and is being made for the Two Guys B&M. It is the same size and shape as the DPG Blue Firecracker but in the T110 blend. (I might have my facts wrong on the blend, so please correct me if this is the case.) I'd post a pic but I'm a technological idiot. While somewhat gimmicky, this is one of the rare Tats I'll try and track down when it becomes available.

A $12 house blend? I'll pay $12 for a normal Tat before I pay for a house blend.

:-) Unless it's a Hirsh Y Garcia. The best house blend ever, imo.

Be easy, guys. The HCS sticks are pretty reasonable - $8.00 and under.
Not sure about the M-80 yet. Probably won't know until next year some time.

I'm surprised you haven't talked to Pete about a house blend for West Coast...

The M-80 sounds cool, just because. I have a Pepin Firecracker in my humi and have smoked one. Would be cool if somebody new did this shape ever year.

If the stick's a great one, $12 is a bargain.

Pete chimed in on these and, apparently, these have a Verocu-type blend and a similarly colored wrapper to the Havana VI. These come box-pressed and the production on the OR is fairly good ~ 500 boxes (20-ct.) for each size.

When I asked him, we said these were going to be a regular production cigar for Holts.

Nope, 500 boxes of each vitola.
Here is what he said:

They will have them for a little while. I want to release the line in full production without the Holts logo on the box of course but it will be a while before I do.
