Hit a local shop and they said they have some on order but expect to go quick. No reserves but he will send an email out when they arrive.

Any thoughts on what they are going for? This guy is normally a little high so would like to have a baseline to use. If I catch it right will try to pick up what I can.

I got a call yesterday and I'm supposed to have a box on the way. I'll wait impatiently till it shows. Funny how tough this has been, a 1200 box run is not a small amount of cigars, I've found far smaller runs a lot easier.
I'm not sure distributors dig the "buy ten boxes of fuente product and you can buy one of these" angle. I'm sure there's a lot that have no clue about them.

I need to be on the lookout for these. They sound like something right up my alley.

I checked out the local B&M's this last weekend and no one had these. A couple of them had not even heard of them... (I did pick up some WOAMs though :D)

Where did you find them online?

I got them at Tampa Humidor, but it was via being put on the list a few weeks ago. Then I bought five boxes of cigars off of them, sweetened up the girls, and agreed to buy all the SSM boxes they got in.
They had lots of requests from regular customers and I'm very fortunate that they were gracious enough to let me in on this. I have no idea what I paid, either, I just asked that they keep my cc info on hand and send me whatever they could. Everyone I dealt with seemed like truly wonderful people, and I'm looking forward to dealing with them in the future.
I'd love to go visit them next time I'm down that way, too. :tu

Still looking for a box of these to put away. If you guys see anything, please give me a shout. :tu

I just won a fiver of the Arturo Fuente Hemingway short stories on cigar bid. Never had a short story AFH before but remember loving the AFH robusto I had years ago. Do you know if there is a big difference in the short story versus the rest of the AFH line?

The Short Stories are much the same as the rest of the Hemingway line.
We're going on about the Short Story maduro, which is a special release happening right now. They're much in the same vein as the rest of the Hemingway maduro line.
