These are a 2002 limited edition that were available in three sizes (Esen, a churchill sized torpedo, Moda, a toro, and Tonton, a robusto) and are sadly no longer available. I picked up four singles of the Moda from Cigar Bid back in Feb 2009, an loved them, but couldn't find any more for sale. Then last year one of the brothers here told me about a guy on another forum that had a box for sale...a whole box still in the shrink wrap. I pulled the trigger and have had them resting the past 8 months.

Today I pulled the shrink wrap off the box, and here they are for your viewing pleasure:

That just drips of decadence.  Nice.

Those look pretty good. Were they a memorial cigar for the old man?

That's a lot of cigar. Looks beautiful.  Let us know if they are as good as you remember.

nice looking - you don`t want to smoke them do you just caress them over and over again.

I have wholeheartedly found agreement in Ron White's humorous statement that he plans to smoke every durn one of his collection of cigars. But in this rare case...that is a beautiful presentation. I could not bring myself to apply fire to one of those. This would be the beginning of a true collection on my part if I ever had the chance to get my grubby paws on them.

Very nice Les!

I had a couple of the TON TON, don't remember if I ever smoked one or just traded them away.

BEE-YOOTEEFUL!!!!!! What a great collector's item!

I had the opportunity to pick up 2 Ton Tons from a guy on another forum....he had a bunch, but I only bought 2, regrettably. I still have them sitting in my humidor over a year later. I just can't bring myself to put fire to them. They're too pretty!

Great purchase, bro! Enjoy those.

This release was to celebrate founder Cano A. Ozgener's 65th birthday.

But I really liked the name "Wish Stealer". It had a Native American ring to it. -Brlesq

A wise geek once told me that moving up from a daily smoke to a weekly or even bi-monthly smoke would be worth it, if I could learn how to appreciate a really really good cigar. -southernrun

Me and one of my riding and cigar smoking friends smoked a pair of these (one each) over the Father's Day weekend.  Excellent.  10 years rest didn't hurt them at all.

So who was it that told me about this box being for sale?  I didn't note it in my online humidor, and the PM is long gone.
