I was at my local b7m Friday and saw the new Sopranors set. It had 4 or 5 cigars in it in different shapes- baseball bat, wine bottle, etc. It was wicked, the things were HUGE!!!!!!! I'll see about getting a picture to post.:-)

I believe that set was released in late '07 or early '08.

Then, according to the Rule of 3s, they are fully aged. :-)

I cant imagine what that wine bottle would smoke like and I dont think I want to know. Wow!

If they were 07.....if not you know that extra year is going to count for like what 10 years? :-) :-)

The question is even if they are fully aged :-) who would smoke those? Maybe Nickerson?
[Reply]

If I end up with one of those wine bottles somehow, I'd smoke it :-) heck, if someone gave me "the egg" (cause I wouldn't buy it) i'd smoke it. Haha, I don't discriminate unless the wrapper is cameroon, then I'll smile and throw it away when you're not looking

I mean I'd smoke those baseball bats, but those wine bottles and the egg. I just think it's too gimmicky and probably tastes awful. That or it kicks like a bull....either way I don't need that.

Show up at the Shack Herf next year, Bill....maybe we can get one of those bats in the Punishment-Puff-Puff-Pass. :-)
[Reply]

Shack herf which one is that? One of these days I'll make it out somewheres. Punishment puff puff pass sounds brutal.

Ah thanks. I'm sure I can find a way to make it up there. Ohio isn't too far of a drive really. August would be a pretty good time of year as well.
[Reply]

you guys would like having that in the PPPP as a nice change to what has been smoked the last few times i was up. I have had the bullet and it was just plain. all filler no thriller. by no means the worst cigar i have ever smoked.
[Reply]

Oh that's what the middle one is! You would think that if they can make a wine bottle, they could at least get a little closer to a decent looking bullet :-)
[Reply]

Agreed, I was wondering what that was.
[Reply]

Not that it matters, but the "wine bottle" is a bottle of Dom Perignon and it's a damn good representation of it.

According to the B&M owner that I spoke to a coupe of weeks
ago about this, they came out w/ some sets of these for shops
who placed Large orders with at the IPCPR...

Now whether these are freshly rolled or "old stock" i can't answer
but i do vaguely remember the shop owner saying, "they brought
these out again..." so go figure.
