A.Fuentes 75th Anniversary

[BSB]

I don't believe you are gonna see these for sale. A special production for Don Carlos's 75th birthday. Single boxes were sent out to retailers as a gift. Some sold, some kept, some gave away. Apparently, they are being handed out at special events, as well.
Most feel it is just a special banded Don Carlos Robusto.

This is (mostly) correct...no one knows how many boxes were produced, but they are (almost certainly) Don Carlos Senior Blend (info here: http://people.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew...ch&cat=0&pos=2 ) with an extra band...

Here are some pics, for those interested, of the cigar, box and card that came with it...I have managed to track down about 3, but they are VERY hard to get ahold of, and they are not being produced again (as far as I know)...









That reminds me, I need to do a review

Hope that helps!
