    I just ordered this sampler. Can anyone offer me any insight into these cigars?

    Arturo Fuente Anejo Special Release Cameroon Shark (5.88 x 64)
    Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art Maduro (4.88 x 60)
    Ashton Virgin Sun Grown Wizard (6 x 56)
    Fuente Fuente Opus X Belicoso XXX (4.63 x 49)
    Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfecxion X (6.25 x 48)

    Thanks!

    Steve

    They don't suck, and it is a helluva deal

    There were around 2000 IIRC Sand Sharks (from www.vitolas.net) produced for this sampler. There were also a few more given out or auctioned at various function. The Wizard is fairly hard to find, as is the WOAM. The other 2 are regular production Opus.

    I've only had a few of the Opus X and they were all powerhouses, but good cigars. Just eat before you smoke one. Good luck.

    I ordered 3 of these last night then noticed that there was a limit of 1. The order was accepted and the money taken. Even the free shipping was credited. Will they get bounced?

    BTW: Sidewinder, I think it is a hell of a deal and they are all good smokes.

    Thanks for the info! From what you guys have said here and from what Hefty has told me on the side, this sounds like it was a good purchase.

    Well, that answers that. I've got one coming and am on the wish list if more become available, whatever that means.

    Anyway, still a good deal and I'm glad to get what I got.

    Perhaps I should order another in a co-worker's name and have it shipped to the office.....

    I don't think so, pal! Save some for the rest of us!

    I think I know what you mean by "powerhouses." I smoked a Graycliff Mike Ditka 1985 once and actually felt a little light headed! Has anyone had one of those with that experience?

    That XXX with kick the Ditkas ass. The Mike Ditka Graycliff is a very nice full bodied smoke, but the power ranger is definitely one notch above.

    I'm be sure to eat something and have a nice glass of water on hand when I light it up! Thanks for the heads up!
