Months ago I heard the La Verite 2010 release was pushed back to the December 2012, given that it's January I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about them?

hmm, so I take it that either no one knows or probably you need to be a member of saints & sinners to be in the know (which obviously I am not :), debating joining last year and will probably debate joining again this year)

The latest on '10 was that it would be first part of 2013 but we haven't heard much lately on this project so perhaps things have shifted again.

I talked to Pete in November. It's possible the 10 may be completely skipped because of how much other stuff he has coming with the 10th anniversary stuff and he's still sitting on some 09 stock.

The concept behind this project (all tobacco from same field/crop) was a good idea. The execution of it however, from the pricing (high $), to buying "futures" etc. was something the cigar industry wasn't ready for IMO...perhaps never will be. Assume that's partially why there's no rush to get out the 2010s. 2009s aren't even moving, and it takes well below retail prices to do so, at least from what I've seen.

If there weren't so many issues with the construction on the OR 08s, and they were priced more competitively from the jump...this might be a different story. As it is, I think it's wise Pete focus his efforts elsewhere...i.e. his L'Atelier line appears to have been a big hit - for al the reasons the La verite wasn't (priced better, better marketing/packaging etc).

Disappointing to hear but at the 15 pride point they would be more tolerable ( Churchill ). I got a ten count of the 09 and do enjoy them.
