Not sounding too promising on these...
Just called the shop, and the owner (knowlegeable) was not in. The assitant on the phone said that they don't have any of the robusto or corona size, and most likely won't be getting anymore. I asked why, but he really didn't give me a good reason beside some problem with the perique tobacoo. Maybe they can't get it anymore.
Also, the maduro shade wrapper versions of anything are gone, which only leaves the CT shade grown left. I don't personally have a problem with that, or if we have to switch sizes, however it's up to you guys too.
They're supposed to call me back with availability / pricing. Didn't give me a time frame.

If we can get some of these awesome, if not no big deal.

Perique is really hard to find. It's only grown in St. James Parish, Louisiana. There are only a couple of guys growing it now due to the high cost of producing it and the low selling price. The recent hurricanes have made it harder to get. Most of it is snapped up by pipe tobacco producers.
Here's some interesting info on Perique.
