Well those are the coolest cigars I've seen in a while.
This is my second box. I bought the first box with the plan of smoking one every month to see how age effects them. I liked them enough to buy a second box. When I get around to these they will have a bit over four months of rest.

Interesting side note. Altar Q is a hugely important Mayan artifact in Honduras. To pay tribute to that heritage Oscar used binder and filler from the Copan area where the Altar is located. The box is also a recreation (kind of) of the altar and filled with one cigar for each "king" represented on the monument.

Wooooweee fellas!

Big thanks to @Rdelia for the tip on this deal. I'm not familiar with any of these (other than the brulee) so I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but I do know that this is one HELL of a deal for $100. Those boxed ones look like they are something special.

Thanks for the lowdown on that Saka Dunbarton sampler. I was intrigued enough that I just placed an order for one.

Those 3 on the left in the coffins are commonly referred to as “unicorns”. The Nacatamale and NLMTHA are some of the best cigars I can remember!

Thanks again for posting that @Texican!!

Oh man! Now I'm even more stoked! Figure I should let them age a bit before lighting them up? I didn't know anything about this deal or even that website before @Rdelia recommended it.

I’m guessing they should be ready to smoke as soon as you give them a little time to acclimate. Those were originally released in limited quantities back in 2018 so they should be well aged by now.

I had the pleasure of smoking one along with Steve Saka himself at Corona Cigar in Orlando when they first came out.

Glad you guys are enjoying! Saka is a genius! Honestly the deal goes back to @FlightMedic . I was considering trying it out and he shared his experience with the Padron motherload. That gave me fuel to try it out. Have since done the Curivari and Padron motherload and have been impressed. I figure they know that only someone who is knowledgeable about cigars will be willing to spend 100 bucks on a blind purchase so they package that as so. They are aggressive with advertising so they are seeking to build reputation and gain loyal customers. Also, allows them to get around the MSRP enforcements from the brand. :)
