there was a post made on their facebook of a few retailers who had them on the shelves yesterday. I'd assume the next week will be the startup to national release with by the New Year everyone getting their allocation. Tough time of the year to send out a new product, receiving times will vary depending on UPS traffic.

Any botl in Florida I know Corona Cigar Co. is having some local events tonight and tomorrow I think. I called and they won't be taking any phone orders. She said to arrive early if you are gonna come!!! Lucky boys in FL!!!
They are now!

Just called corona cigar and ordered a box of the papa fritas, they said they got a shipment in yesterday and have about 10-12 boxes of them left. Sold me a box over the phone said it should ship out Monday :cbig:

Damn, guess I was lucky and got the right person (maybe someone who didn't know any better). But he did say that my order was processed and would ship out probably Monday, maybe that's why it won't ship till Monday

The problem with Corona Cigar is it depends on who you talk to... they give different answers! If you email or call the main line on their website they would probably say not for sale till Monday online or over the phone but if you call the store number that is having the event they will usually sale them over the phone. Well that has been my experience at least!

So with that being said I think I will just wait for Emerson's to get some in!

I called the number on their website and the guy I talked to transferred me to "someone in the back" who was the person that actually completed the sale (got some other stuff too, can't order Magnum R44's online and I wanted to try those out). I don't think these are going to be hard to find once all the other shops get them in though.

Smoke inn had them, but sold out

If you're looking shoot me a pm, I know of another store that has them instock, but have not listed them on their website for people to order yet. You can place a phone order and they will ship it to you though.

EDIT: cigar.com also has them in stock now

What I find most disturbing is that a blogger claims to have smoked over 200 of an unreleased cigar that will be hard to come by for quite a while, yet the paying customers have to scramble to find some. I don't know about anyone else, but that just really puts me off. I couldn't BUY these right now but he can smoke that many? Seems odd to me.

Justify it anyway you want, its just bad business in my eyes. It actually has caused me to stop being a DE customer. I know some will say, "good, more for me", and I am glad you feel that way. I just don't have the tollerance for such f*ckery.

I agree with you in that aspect but then again I'm not on a first name basis with manufactures like some people are. Also, I don't really know how the IPCRP works but I'd imagine if you know people you could walk out of there with a lot of pre-released sticks. I'm just speculating, and have zero info to back that statement up, it's just my two cents. Regardless of that, I really enjoy the cigars that Drew Estate produces, especially the Liga Privada line and I'm happy to be able to get my hands on them when I can.

Nice review, by the way. I can't wait to try these.
