    Two pics of the one I have, more of a gimmick/joke than worthwhile smoke, at least IMHO.


    That is a 750ml bottle of Jameson's for comparison sake.

    The $10 is for comparison as well.

    You're probably right -- but I just wrote a more-or-less favorable review of the Churchill version of that very cigar. (So that you don't have to find the actual post, the review can be whittled down to the single line, "For $2, it's more than smokable.")

    If that monster has taken a spin in your humidor long enough to mellow out, I'd recommend firing it up and letting us know how it went!

    Some of those monster cigars are REALLY REALLY good.

    EDIT -- The cigar in question, as far as I can tell, is the Corona Nicaragua Selection Corona Giant Natural -- 8" by 60

    (Say that five times fast...)

    Heres some Opus, notice the Footballs in there.

    I have been dying to smoke one of those. What's your opinion of the Fuente "We'll make any shape cigar we can dream up" line?

    This was going to be a "weird cigar of the week" but Empire beat me to it. Last I saw these was in a press release saying most of the line went to former Dolphins QB Dan Marino in 2003. I'm hoping that maybe they're now available in Vegas at Casa Fuente.


    EDIT -- Are they finally selling these in Vegas? If so, I am SO going.

    Re-EDIT -- Who are you, Empire23 -- Dan Marino? I thought most of these Fuente footballs went to Marino. Enquiring minds want to know!

    Haha, no Im not Dan Marino. I just got those pics off the intraweb. You are right though, the footballs were made especially for Marino when he went to visit the Fuente factory. I dont think they were ever sold as a production cigar.

    The cigar that twists 3 together is actually meant to be smoked as 3 seperate cigars. I dont know the name of it though.

    Never had one but thought it looked just so damn stupid. Like the egg . . . why in the heck would they make that?

    That a culebra (interesting story), the Partagas ones are really good if you can find them.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!

    IIRC when it was given to me 2 years ago for X-mas it had a sticker on it that said $12 but I could be wrong.

    I know it was more than $2.

    It hasn't been in the humi because the only one I had was a small count one and I couldn't afford to waste the space on what I thought was a gimmick.
