I have no idea what you are talking about, and apologize if I stepped on any toes. Just trying to pass some info that I thought was useful. :)

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

The site you mentioned is what he's referring to. Its a site that harbors some strong feelings to say the least on the board, so we for the most part pretend it doesn't exist or refer to it as "another board." No biggie, just a rule of thumb to follow around here.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Pretty much. Craputo is all about his own personal profit and screw anyone who disagrees with him. He bought up a bunch of cigar boards and basically destroyed them when he merged them into one megaboard; all so he could sell higher priced ad-space. That wasn't enough though, so he datamined the userbase and sold that info. Lied to, disrespected and back stabbed a number of good people, including all 11 of the owners of this board, all for his personal profit. In light of that, the least we can do is to not post things that could redirect automated traffic to his site, which could lead to an increase in his profits.

Star out a few letters, or change the U to a V, as "pvff" won't direct traffic to him.

That's all that was meant by my comment. The information you provided was very beneficial to the thread, thank you.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

thanks for the background info. I appreciate it.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

FYI I just pre-ordered my box from Egars. They email me back that they should have them next week. Crossing fingers.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

+1!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Yeah I just did that too...they emailed me back saying they are sold out but that they are gonna hold my money. Why not, let me not order!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Yeah. I had no idea. Things we learn.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Guys, bought my box this morning from Coronas Cigar in the Sand Lake location. They had 7 left after buying leaving with mine. Give them a call.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Got an e-mail from Smoke Inn, saying they were available. Went to the site 30 minutes after I got the e-mail.. Out of Stock.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Cigar.com has them for a good price, just snagged two boxes! (Free shipping as well)

Superiorcigars.com also has them but they are $30 more expensive.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Thanks for the link, 2 tins on the way. Wife isn't going to be happy.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

No problem Andrew! Glad you got some, I've been waiting on these!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Had to post that huh?! Got a tin coming my way and I told myself no more purchases!!!!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I decided to pass on these as I just don't see what all the hype about the No9 is. Now if they make something with T52 scraps I'm in.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

My B&M just got some so I had to grab a tin

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

They use some T52 leaf too, but its mainly No. 9.

Smoked one Friday, tasted just like a No. 9 just not as sweet

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Tasty little fellas! I just grabbed a tin and I'm very happy with the PF. Pairs perfectly w/ a Gosling's Ginger Beer.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I said I wouldn't chase them but 4 tins on the way.:tu

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Had my first one tonight on the way to work. Very tasty indeed!! Loved the flavors of these.Glad I picked up a whole box.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

5 packs on the debil site going for $45.

Eek...

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

They are good as hell. Bought a whole box of them

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Tried one last night myself. I have to agree with you. im very glad i bought a box.
Really? people amaze me with their crazy bidding on that place. You can find tins in stock for $21.95 at cigar.com.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Awwww yea. My B&M hooked me up good. Gotta love awesome friends.

Nice Travis!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Holy crap! Is that a box of A's? SWEET!:banger

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

CI has 10-packs for $49.99 for a limited time. Normally I don't pick up 10 of something I've never smoked before, but I said "what the hell, it's the holidays" and ordered one.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

CI ?? Must have been for a real limited time, I looked all over their site and can't find them.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Same. Plus, these come in 4 count tins. I highly doubt any company is taking them out of said tins to put them in 10 packs.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

While it is possible that the poster made an error in the writing of his post, many manufacturers, Drew Estate included, will package certain cigars into cello mazos, typically 20 or 25 cigars, although I have seen 5s, 10s and even a 6. This can be for the big operations like CI, Famous, JR, etc to further break down into singles, 5'ers, 10's whatever, or, for internal use, events, etc. This allows them to provide a larger quantity of cigars at a lower per unit cost since the packaging isn't included. This doesn't happen with all cigars, there's no set rule for which ones get the mazo treatment.

All that being said, I can't say if the PF's were or were not packaged this way, but I can tell you that some of the stuff manufacturers package into mazos might surprise you.

Oh, and breaking down 4-tins into 5 or 10-packs, actually, I've seen big e-tailers do sillier things.

Probably best to let the poster clarify rather than running amok substituting your assertions for facts.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I said I was going to pass on these but after talking with one of the reps over at cigar.com he talked me into a 5er. I don't need no stinkin' tin!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Got the deal through CI's "Weekend Spotlight" e-mail deal. Here's the link:
http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...=SP-LPD4544-10

Deal's still valid: 10/$49.99

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

That link shows them for $60. Perhaps http://www.cigarsinternational.com/SL283C will work.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Odd, it was $49.99 when I posted the link. Your link works too, though. Thanks!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Once you click the link I posted it will show up as $49.99 when clicking your link but it shows $60 for those who haven't clicked the link from the actual email. Works the same as the free shipping link.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

That's good info to know, thanks.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

And the alternative is that I mistook some other brand to read "Liga Privada Papas Fritas, from Drew Estates"? I do need reading glasses, but that would be a hell of a mistake.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I didn't mean to come off as an ass, as I'll admit I did reading back on it, but when all we had to go on was "oh hey, these are on CI in 10 packs for $xx.xx" and could find nothing on CI at all similar(they don't even list that they carry the Papas Fritas), not to mention how odd it seems(at least to me) that they would split up tins of these, there is reason to be at least somewhat skeptical.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I doubt they were in tins to begin with. DE can save the money on packaging.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

They're not in tins at the factory, they're stored wheels.
All they did was ship the wheels to ci, and they in turn
are selling them in lots of 10. Even at that price i'm not gonna jump.
Hard to pay that much for mixed filler.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Just try them. Not that it justifies the price all together, but they are darn good.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I wonder if they've gotten better since the show. Brooks gave me a couple
to try at IPCPR. But for the money im good. Id rather find a deal on the
baitfish or smoke J. Fuego Origen Maduro Originals.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Tins are going for $ 22-26 for 4 sticks = (roughly) $ 6.00 per stick

or

Grab them from CI at 10 for $ 49.99 = $ 4.99 per stick

Granted, they are short filler sticks...but $ 4.99 a stick ain't bad if it's good. :2

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

I'm betting in a few months the price MAY go down a bit more, even for an LP blend.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Not a chance because in a few WEEKS they'll be GONE!

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Exactly! These won't last long. Especially if you buy the box with 7 tins. Glad I got my mitts on some.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

They are a tasty little number! Thinking about buying a few more before they're gone

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Enjoyed my first one this evening...right down til it burned my fingers. Glad I grabbed 10 more. Tasty little suckers for sure. :dr :dr :dr

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

Did the same thing with mine Mac. Looked like i was smoking a roach lol. These are perfect right now with it being only 25 degrees out.

Re: LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"
 

They will be a "regular" release guys(well, as "regular" as JD is with the Ligas), there's more coming after this first round.
