They come in boxes of 10.
Was told I may get lucky in the next week or two and have one dropped shipped to me.
Will cross my fingers and wait patiently.
I will always cherish my account with them and a member since 1992.

Try contacting the Freeport Trading Company in Freeport Maine, they had a few left on Saturday and I'm sure they would be willing to ship to you (if they have any left).

I read a few review on these cigars, these are also called the "hammer." There is a picture of a hammer on the band. These cigars are suppose to be very spicy. I will have to get my hands on a few of these.

I bought two, tried one. The other will sit in the humidor for a year or longer before it smoke it.

It was alright but for my money, there are other Padron products that I'd buy first.

YMMV

I'm smoking this cigar as I write this and it has yet to disappointed. The very first puff I noted some very complex spicy flavors (I love spice in a cigar). I'm not through the 1st quarter yet, so my expectations have just kicked up a notch.

Ah, some of that spice just gave away to a nice warm nutty flavor. I'm finding it a little difficult to put down.

That's it for this post now, I will write another post after I've finished with this cigar.

Just finished and I throughly enjoyed this cigar. It burned evenly and consistently and the flavors were very nice. The nutty flavor I mentioned earlier gave away to nice peppery taste with creamy espresso (or mocha) aftertaste.

I found the ash to be a little loose the fall off without warning, so watch out for that.

In summary, I consider this to be an expensive cigar (at $26) but consider it a must try. It certainly a great choice for that special occasion. In the end I rate it 94.
