Big City cigars has one out. They are from the 90's and as far as I know can only be found at lynncigars.com in the closeout section. Though I have not tried them I have had other Big City smokes and they are cheaper but a nice cheapie. I have also seen these pop up in a local walk in at Jungle Jim's in the bundled section. I tried one and remember it being hash but again it was in the bundle section and they were I think $2-$3 had no markings.

I will pick up a CAO Bratalia if I see any local and I can't wait for the CAO America to be released.

Nice post Patrick.

Very cool article. I noticed these cigars started to pop up very recently. Do you guys happen to know what the first barber pole was?

One of the coolest things out there- if you can find them is barber pole culebras. With natural, maduro, and candela on each strand and then the three strands braided, it is quite a sight.
