Scratch that, checked my resources... there are *120* boxes. And he's not even considering production again until about 2010-2011... egh...
I GET MY BOX FRIDAY
This info is straight from the horses mouth. If in doubt, ask Dan or Pete (They are good friends). There is nothing about being released again in 2011 or only 120 boxes made and that is straight from the man's mouth. It's all about protecting the brand. Not sure who your anyone's source is, but it doesn't get any better than from the man himself!
Maybe Pete will shed some more light on it!
No matter what, they are yummy and I wanna smoke more.. Damn, they are addicting like the La Riq's . hehe
Box of 25 El Triunfador Lanceros (7 1/2 x 38) packaged and sealed with a large Humidipak for humidified shipping!
Well, good secrets are hard to keep. When word about this small batch release by Pete Johnson hit - the wait was on for this new blend to start shipping. Available in very small quantities - this lancero was created to establish the El Triunfador name from it's Cuban past. Another old Cuban brand name brought to life again. The papeleta design was taken from the original cuban artwork. For this lancero, the packaging is simple. 25 Cigars are bound by a ribbon and wrapped in wax paper inside a simple, vertical box with a slide top. Padded inside, at the top and bottom for shipping - these pigtail lanceros are safe and ready to enjoy.
According to Pete, this blend is for the lancero only. If El Triunfador is turned into an entire brand - the blend and packaging will change for the other sizes. Just released in Sept. 2008 - this vitola is available at only a few vendors and will continue to be made "in small quantities here and there".
With a naturally dark, Connecticut Brown
