I wonder how many they have left.
I have really been wanting to stock up on these since they were put on buy one get one but just havent had the extra coin.
I hope they still have plenty as i would really like to put 3 or 4 boxes back.

Some extremely generous Troop Supporter sent a box of these that are now in the Tiki Hut Coolerdor.
They are considered in the Hut to be a dangerous smoke- the guys will dare each other to smoke them. The dared individual will say "These are damn good!" and the darer will think it's a ploy to suck him in to trying one.
I had one the day the box was opened and loved it. I like a cigar with bite.

General Cigars made them & did a poor job of marketing, as it tried to push this as a strong smoke. They're a good medium in strength. But, as others have said, they're quite tasty & burn well. The Picantes are one of my favorite lunchtime smokes - lasts just about 45-55 minutes at my pace. Famous Smokes bought up all of the remaining stock, so they're the only game in town if you want some. Fortunately, Famous has been running quite a few "Buy 1 Get 1 deals on the boxes. I think I've got about 70 of these left. At $1/stick, it's a great deal.
So what you are saying is that I do have to buy them right now.

hmmm...

I really like these. Great burn, relatively quick smoke, and nice earthy, coffee flavors with a peppery bite. Surprisingly mild aftertaste, too.
Buy some. Do it. Doooooooooo it.
In fact, if Famous is still running a B1G1F, I'd be up for doing a split with you.
