I think some of you have been waiting for these...
 

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

YES YES where can I get that?

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

:mh

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I believe Azon will have some in a few days ;)
As for others, I would give a call to any of the Esencia retailers, which can be found here:

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

What are they and why are they so special?

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I gave up all hope... I have some on hold at Azon when they arrive. :D

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I hope you don't have ALL of them on hold

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Esencia is the line created by the boys behind Brother of the Leaf Inc. aka Palio.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Just talked to Mike at Azon. He has fifteen coming in shortly. One for me! Greg didn't get them all:)

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Thanks Marc, been anticipating these since you gave me the preview!!

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Marc, those look great. Do me a favor and snag a lancero out of Greg's set. He won't like them. I'll put it to good use.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

those look awesome Marc, been waiting on the pictures ever since you told me about the gift package.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

This stick is my krptonite...each time I have smoked one (4 so far)...it makes my eyes water, stomach do flips...but damn are they tasty. :tu

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Sweet!!!:tu

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Whose screen name happens to be OpusEx


This looks like a set that I will have to locate :tu

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

FYI - Only 500 of these were made and each is hand signed and individually numbered :ss
The vitola's are:

Tres Petit
Canonazo
Lancero

For the Esencia fans, the cutters will only be lifetime warranty by returning to BOTL, LLC directly, as the logo'd cutter is not currently available, except in this gift set.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I have been wanting this months.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I have got to find one or two of these.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Marc,

Great to see these are being received so well. I always knew you would nail this cigar. You seem to have a gut feel for the flavor profiles cigars smokers love.

Congrats.

Paul

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Same here! I just gotta find Esencia in the first place!

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

The set looks amazing, Marc...nice job on this! :tu

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Always good to see you around Marc.
I hope you're doing well.
Nice looking product there :)

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

So the set is very limited but are these cigars limited? I've heard of them before but have yet to seen them around. Thanks!

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

No answer at Silo?? That can't be good. Ya gotta answer your phone, man! Palio cutters sell very well at our place, but the Esencia not so much. It's a great cigar, and we've given it some sales push, but it just hasn't caught on like we'd hoped. Certain cigars do well in specific markets, but not in others. I guess we're in one where it doesnt.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Anybody shed any more light on why they are so special? I got the "what they are" part just not the "why the excitement?" part.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Yeah why is this so special? I know 2 Guys smoke shop pushes the hell out of Esencia sticks to the point of being sickening.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Some answers:

1. Yes Esencia cigars are limited, as we stick to our morals and only use the highest quality raw materials to produce them. Given that our standards are so high, we can't produce a large quantity in any given year.

2. Esencia cigars are only available through authorized Palio retailers. Knowing that we can only produce some small amount in any given year, keeping it "in the family" allows us to be consistent and constant with supply to both the retailer and consumer.

3. The sizes offered in the gift set are not "regular production" vitola's. So, it is the only way to enjoy the blend in these formats.

4. Smoke Magazine has rated the first four sizes of Esencia 90, 93, 94 & 95 for the Belicoso, Robusto, Petit Corona & Corona Gorda respectively.

I always look forward to talking with anyone and everyone involved in this hobby and passion of ours, so if anyone wants to chat, please don't hesitate to contact me. This post was merely a heads up for some people here I know who have been waiting for these, as they already enjoy Esencia cigars.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Hmm sounds interesting, thanks for all that information. Like I've mentioned before, haven't seen these around but I will keep an eye out. I believe my shop use to carry these but like Leafandale, they did not sell so well for the shop.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Smoked one of these in Florida this spring, a flavorful powerhouse of a cigar. :tu

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

been looking forward to this since you mentioned it at that herf in may. any idea on a price point?

stearns

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Forget price where or where can I find these? All of the Esencias I have had have been amazing. And to find one in lancero that has perfection written all over it. Plus another palio who couldnt use another of them.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Love the Essencia line. A lancero! :banger

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I had the pleasure of smoking one of these at SoCal this past summer.

A winner for sure.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

These are probably my favorite cigar.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

:tpd:

These are very good cigars, I'm just wondering what this little package is going to set me back. Put my name down for one at the lounge last night! Hopefully they will be in before our holiday party.

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

wait - is that supposed to be an endorsement? :confused:

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I picked up 3 of them at Two guys in Salem,NH. 2 to gift away and one for me. Very nice presentation from the BOTL's

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

Sounds Like What The OpusX Does To Me, Mack!:r:tu

Re: I think some of you have been waiting for thes
 

I just called and ordered one. 2 Guys still has some, not sure how many though. Think it was $75.
