Found a Sleeper - Puros Huerfanos

[madwilliamflint]

I finally did a side by side and while they are in the same family, they are NOT Drew Estates Liga Privada #9s. They just aren't.

The mystery continues.

(obsessed much?)

Funny this thread popped back up today as I just ordered a box of the 681s yesterday after realizing they are a great smoke after snagging a 5er on Famous' auction site. Wasn't advertised but they came with a free 5er and free shipping so that's 30 smokes delivered for $99. That's Diesel money and honestly they kick the Diesels a$$ and I really enjoy the Diesels.

Yeah I loved the extra 5'er I got with my last box. I may be picking up another box of these just to put away and see what happens. I love these things too much to ever worry about running out.

CM is posting all sales for the day, they are available again.

There is a fiver of the robustos up on CM right now. Think I will try these and see if they do taste like the LP #9.

Thx Ben...I'm sold and just bought the 5 pak. LP#9 ya say? This will be so much cheaper if they even taste half as good.

Just ordered some myself. Thank guys for the heads up

I smoked the Lancero (or Panatela in my book) the other night
with a beer and it was great! I would like to try this in a robusto....

Anybody workin on more information as to what these are
supposed to be? This may be a job for SkinsFanLarry!

Larry where you at bruh?

Not sure about the Lancero but the Robustos are supposed to be Liga 9s

Carry on!!

[madwilliamflint]

Alas! Gone forever!

If anybody's got a line on a box of the ph681s they're willing to part with (or, erm... 10) I'd make it worth your while.

Why WHY didn't I buy 10-15 boxes when they were around?

Harrumpf.

Spoke with a Drew Estates guy. They're a blend they made rather a long time ago (definitely not the LP9) and they became "681s" long after Drew stopped selling them.

Not someone I know well enough to out. Could be they were speaking out of turn.

[Cigahs]

No worries...

I'm probably speaking out of turn myself, anyway.

It's not likely we'll ever get PH 681s again. However, we're still trying. For that reason, I'm not confirming nor denying anything.

[madwilliamflint]

I see. I've only been smoking for a bit less than 2 years and came across them early. Just one of my favorite smokes of all time. I was stoked when people started saying it's the LP9 since at least they're "in production." Price be damned as long as they're available. But after side-by-siding them a couple times it's just not true.

I have a few kicking around, but when they disappeared from the site I nearly had a heart attack. So now I'm starting to really forage around the internet for any I can find.

Plus now I'm starting to cast a wider net to fill that flavor spot. It's gonna be tough. I've smoked a lot of things that could be called "in the same family" that just didn't come close.
