Ditto!

Cigar Family charitable foundation "toast across America" smokes. They release them once a year and its always two unreleased or HTF vitolas. This year it's an Opus X and Diamond Crown Maximus figurados.

I got it at my local shop, but I understand they can be hard to locate. The CF-CF website has a list of shops that carry it.

Very nice! Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I've heard of that in the past. Nice to know it's that time of the year again.

The Tobacco Barn in Paducah, KY still has some from this year's TAA/ Give Brent O a call if interested. I believe they are $50 per sampler.

Very nice Brooks!

Sand Shark! You Bastard!:-):-)

Chingas wants a Sand Shark, check.

:-):-):-)

Easy guys...Back away from the computer and smoke a cigar or something. I'm good with what I got.:-)

Oh, not me...I have like 6 of the Sand Sharks, have not smoked one yet...Honestly, I may just stick them all down the trash compactor, and videotape it, just for you :-):-):-):-)

Bastard! We'll be talking in the future...we always do!:-)

I only have 2 of the 4 in that picture... :-) I can't hang with Brooks... :-)

BTW, what the hell is a sand shark? Seen them around here but thats it.

"This cigar is identical to the regular release Aņejo Shark No.77, except that it has a Cameroon wrapper in lieu of the normal Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper found on the Aņejo line.Comparison photo

These cigars are made on occasion for Cigar Aficionado owner Marvin Shanken, because of his penchant for Cameroon wrapped cigars.The Aņejo Shark was actually made and named because of Marvin Shanken (Cigar Aficionado owner) and Carlito's brother in-law, Wayne Suarez.Carlito named it the "SS Shark" because they both loved this vitola and blend;one "S" stood for Shanken and the other "S" stood for Suarez."

There were 2000 produced in 2006...

I love cameroon wrappers, and have always wanted to try a SS. That's a pretty dark cameroon wrapper though! Is it just the camera? Cause it kinda looks like a the Connie Broadleaf Maduro to me...

**Not to calling you out or anything Brooks, I was jw. I know you know your sharks lol ---> http://thesmokingstogie.squarespace....k-vitolas.html

Here's all the types, from the article above:
