Have you ever had the opportunity to try the Alec Bradley Pryme Gold? I picked a few of them up when they first hit the stores. I was incredibly disappointed - the cigar was not nearly as good as the hype and the price. Really not necesarily a bad cigar in my view, just not a "...high end, super-premium handmade" as touted by the company.
And then a funny thing happened... A couple of years later they showed up at Cigars International as a "blowout" special. They were so doggone cheap I decided to buy in. I'm not sure what happened... Perhaps it was additional "aging" - perhaps it was a different batch than what I'd originally purchased. Bottom line - for the $$$ they absolutely blew me away. As a matter of fact - if they'd been that good when I originally bought them I would have been hoarding them and CI would not have had them on "blowout" special!

Can't remember if leather is in it though, so read it at your own risk.
