I got an email from cigar.com (you guys probably did too) with a special on a cigar I've never heard of and can't even find in the database. Can't find a retailer online that carries it either. So educate me if you've heard of this, or if cigar.com is playing some kind of April Fool's joke.
This is a cigar made by AJ Fernandez that's a 6.5x64 figurado. They're selling them at 10 sticks for $40. If I hear from you all that this is a real cigar and it's a good one I'd be up for a 5'er if someone wanted the other 5. If there are multiple interested people that have a good history on the site I'd be willing to enable and buy a few mazos.
Thoughts?
Here's the image that came with the email.
Don't know anything about it but it looks interesting
AJ Fernandez makes a lot of cigars/brands exclusives for cigar.com/CI. At that price it's worth trying them and even sitting on some as AJ's cigars usually age pretty well.
Here's the 411, it's a cigar.com exclusive that a couple guys there and AJ worked on together. They haven't begun advertising it yet on their site so you won't find it there, except for forum posts about it.

Here's what Tim had to say in his email ad about it:
Called Osiris "Collection IV" - this here is a monster maduro that looks a lot like the Liga Privada Unico Blend. Made by the master blender AJ Fernandez, it also tastes a lot like the Liga Privada #9. Full-bodied, full-strength, this is seriously strong stuff. Plus, it is definitely a "plus-sized model" with it's ample curves and 2-plus hours of tobacco enjoyment.
The email said Liga Privada on sale. That was the April fool's joke. Then the ad for this cigar by AJ. Bait and switch. I was not amused.
Nice bait & switch though I do like AJ Fernandez. Let us know how they smoke.

I'd be down for a fiver. Heck, I like most of AJ's stuff, and I'm always up for something new, especially if it is supposed to taste like a LP#9.

Ah, now I see the April Fool's part, I'm a little slow I guess.
McBryde, I'll send you a PM once they come in and I figure out shipping.
Hell I might be interested too Gary, if you're willing.
There's enough if you do want a 5er, they look pretty interesting. He said you can peel the shaggy head like a pig tail or guillotine it.
These came today! They're a very good size stick. Can't wait to try after a little rest.
That's a lot of smoke.
Nice long Figurado, good looking cigar. Aren't you tempted to smoke one ROTT, come on, go for it and let us know how they are. :biggrin:
Sweet

Inviting as they are I'm gonna wait, just not sure how long :biggrin:
That thing is a monster smoke. Hope it is as tasty as it looks.
I need Kent's resurrection photo here. I think I've figured out what these actually are. Anybody remember these from 5 Vegas? The stick is in the database but no reviews. Before my time.
:bigthumbs:
The 4s are on backorder now.
Yeah, they seemed to be the biggest hit of those Osiris, just curious if anyone remembers those 5 Vegas shaggy heads.
5 Vegas Freedom Blend...
Not a bad smoke...I still have a few and smoked one last July 4th
