So, I was at a B&M / Lounge who's prices were ridiculously high, even for New York. They had some bundle cigars that they also sold loose for $5. Label said Flippers and on the band side said private label. That's it. Nothing else. The bundle label also said the same thing. I had a maduro and it was really good. This cigar should be no more than $3. I don't want to spend $100 for a bundle cigar in the B&M. If anyone has any information on this cigar or who has had it please let me know.

A post on another site from 2007 says they are made by Camacho. I couldn't find any other info, but maybe give Camacho a shout and see what they say.
***UPDATE*** I emailed Camacho off their website and they emailed back that they do make the Flipper brand for a few select retailers. The stick that is closest to the one I had is the Camacho Corojo Maduro.

Those Corojo Maduros are awesome. I got a sampler from Famous smoke a month ago and I loved it.

I think the key is knowing if you like corojo. I enjoy some, but would recommend staying away from the budget brands like Grand Habano. Of course YMWV.
