Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - Show your latest NC purchase!

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.

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.

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

These cigars are made on occasion for Cigar Aficionado owner Marvin Shanken, because of his penchant for Cameroon wrapped cigars.The Añejo 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...

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!

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:
