It is a Crowned Heads Tennessee Waltz. They're probably $10-12 retail before taxes.

Did it come without a logo'd band up top or did you remove it? I believe what I've been buying is a second of some kind that was brought in through Altadis's or General's rep.
In any event, thanks.

No upper band - it came just as you see it.

That link is for the Halfwheel review so you can see the packaging. I picked up a single of both that and the Yellow Rose of Texas to try. The Tennessee Waltz was on point for me - packed full of flavor.
I was going to say I think we can also safely assume what your rep brought in was not a Casa Fuente with the orange ribbon lol...
:-)

Thanks for the detailed follow up. Guess I'll have to work over the store owner to see what they've been selling me.

Believe it or not, a V.M. Santana corona that might be 20 or more years old. I remember these and their cousin Don Manolo cigars being terrible straight outta the humidor. But these were in the original unopened packaging, they've lost any bitterness from those days.
