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.

Very nice! Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I've heard of that in the past. Nice to know it's that time of the year again.

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...

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...
