I bought a box at the shop today. 10 cigars, $235. I was told there were 3000 boxes made. I check tonight and everywhere I look says 300 boxes made, 3000 total cigars. Can this be??? My shop got something like 10 boxes. They had 4 at the beginning of the night and 1 when I left. I'm going tomorrow to see if I can get that one. Anyone know anything about these? Everyone at the shop said they are fantastic. Are there really only 300 boxes?

So I've read.

Uncelnino posted a thread about them. I saw them here for $28 a stick. I'm tempted to pick one up. They look AWESOME!

Not a bad cigar but I wasn't sold on it, not yet anyways. I got a box from a friend to try out and it's in line with the size & taste profile but it was a little muted. Dense cigar, I thought it was going to be a hard cigar to smoke but it really did smoke like a champ.

300 is the general consensus of the actual number of boxes. I think it would have been better to release the salamon in the Litto Gomez blend & line. Better tobacco in the LG's and easier to push it out at the $25+ pricetag.

Smoked one of these last week. It was a great smoke right down to the nub. I never lost interest with it which is a common problem I have with big cigars. A spicy sweet citris flavors that alternated in power from very strong, full to medium which picked up at the end again.
