My local B & M sent me this AND he called me today about some overstock. He likes that I give him good reviews here. SO !!! He said he has 20 left from the event that he will offer US first shot at them. ALL and I mean ALL the proceeds go to charity.

Read the following for details......

TOAST ACROSS AMERICA
Thanks to all that took the time to participate in this outstanding charitable event. A number the 2008 Toast Across America Commemorative Cigar packs remain. The pack includes one unreleased FuenteFuente Opus X and one unreleased Diamond Crown Maximus. The pack sells for $50 and all proceeds will go to the CIGAR FAMILY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (http://www.cigarfamilycharitablefoundation.org/). Pick up a pack now and help the Dominican children.


I'm Happy... Are you?

     
   

What size is the Forbidden and the Diamond Crown? Also need some contact information.

I picked up a few of these for folks when I was at Coronas in Orlando. These are a great find.  Thanks for more making more available for folks.

If I remember correctly they are both Churchills 7x50.

7 x 50

Remember, these are unreleased. They were for the Promo only, and the box is dated. I forgot... they come in a commemorative box.

Call 817-358-8862.

Ask for Mike Peacock or Jason and TELL THEM YOU ARE A CIGAR GEEK.

I recieved one from Paul last week, they are really cool. I like the idea that these are sizes rolled only for these charity boxes. The outside of the boxes say that the Opus is a forbidden X (actually it says Fibidden X   ) but the best I can tell they are Opus X's. Dont the Forbidden X's have black labels?

I'm looking at my box, and it says 2008    -  Cigar Family Charitable Foundation  -   and has the foundation logo.

The bands....
The Opus has a band that looks like a regular opus band, and has a band directly underneath that says Cigar Family Dominican Republic and a footer band that says Toast Across america 2008

The Crown Maximus has the same second band except it's black and the footer is, too.

here are some pics....

did anyone take advantage?

I think these are a good deal and a great collector's item.  2 very fine smokes.  I picked up one for myself.
