You know, a few years back when I was just getting into cigars, the owner of the shop I still frequent the most was telling me that they didn't order 8-5-8's and such, they just arrived every now and then. Struck me as a bit odd, but makes more sense nowadays that I've discovered beauties like the Opus X's and Anejo's. I think the paper insert in the box of 8-5-8 maddies I just got this week sums it up: "We will never rush the hands of time"
