DAMN...
You'd think we kicked some puppies or some shit reading some of the vitriol...
And I am blown away by the "expert" opinions on tobacco and labor prices and folks claiming this and that...
It is just a cigar.
Smoke it and decided for yourself if it is worth $6....
If it is, please buy it, cause Lord knows we appreciate the cash.
If it ain't your cup of tea, no harm, no foul - I understand - there are plenty of great cigars by plenty of great cigar makers to choose from.
My personal attitude is that I like it, I think it is hell of a little smoke, and even though we could of never told anyone it was comprised of table cuts (look at the few comments already posted by those that have smoked it), I wanted to be upfront and disclose the fact - we pride ourselves on being authentic.
Ultimately it will either be successful and it will help to reduce the escalating costs of Liga OR it will fail and we will go back to adding all the LP trimmings to bundle grade cigars.
But there certainly is anything here to get anyone's panties in a twist over...

Congrats mr CEO!
I think the response has been quite positive about this cigar. I think some of the response on both sides should have waited until they were reviewed like they now have. This cigar is already being persued. The cigar will be thought of by the taste, and these other things that were speculated about will be forgotten.
vSteve, don't count yourself out so soon - not that you didn't already know. And congratulations on the new title
That's hilarious! I was wondering to myself how your signature was gonna change. Congrats!
I cant wait to try it man. I cant always budget the money for Ligas so I am pretty excited. I am a Drew Estate slut though so it is kinda expected that I will like it.
When I get excited I say "WU TANG" ..

Thanks Steve for taking the time and explaining all that goes into making it at the DE booth! I really enjoyed it and look forward to purchasing them from a retailer!

Can't wait to try one! I am a newbie, but I liked what SF5 and StogieGeeks said in their reviews of PFs.
LOL, again - love the communication , don't buy the message
I know I can't speak for others, but my point was purely based on your explanation of the cost vs price of the cigar. Taste is way too subjective to even go there.
You don't have to be an "expert" to know that the tobacco is already paid for and the labor prices are, well, third-world country labor prices. But, hey, if you can sell bundle-grade tobacco for $6/stick - more power to you.
However, I don't see the reason behind pretending that cigar manufacturing is some kind of closed-rank society and we, the uninitiated, can't pick up a phone, call some tobacco leaf resellers and get a price list faxed?!? Or did you have to sacrifice a goat and a couple of virgins before you were allowed to know the prices of cigar tobacco?
As far as getting "panties in a twist" - it's a forum, i.e. "a medium of open discussions and expression of ideas". Not everyone will agree with you, not everyone will agree with me, no need to be condescending about it ;)
