as for the FFP, they are a small but recurrent release. drew estate has said they are (trying real hard to) rolling things like FFPs and dirty rats out a couple times a year to LP accounts. if you keep your eyes peeled and give it time, they will come back.

Dang that's like 24 25 bucks nuts nuts.
yeah, it's crazy, i got a box just to see what the hype was all about, but for that money we can get most CC's and IMO they are a lot better. I'd rather spend 10 bucks on a MC#2 than more than double that on a FFP.
Not sure where you can find them, and at $24-$25 a pop at the suggested site, that is a bit pricey. Have had both versions and I must say that I was glad they were gifts to me and I didn't have to spend my own money to buy them. Were they dog rockets? NO! Were they good? Even at $5.00 a stick, I would not stock any in my humidor as there are cigars I like much more than these.
Of course, that is my palate. I have a buddy who absolutely loves the 52 version and goes out of his way to buy all he can. I even help him find them if I can.

and No. 9 pig as well.
That's what they go for on eBay.

Everybody is always looking for t52 and no9 pigs, but they're increasingly rare. So your only option there is to watch the secondary market, and I can guarantee you'll pay quite a bit of markup. I've paid anywhere from $20-40 for them. They're good, but not that good.
Honestly, I think that while I loved both, a nearly equivalent experience can be had in the standard Robusto for half the price. Unless you've got a finely honed palate, there's not a huge difference. Your basically paying for rarity and age. The blend on the no 9 is a touch different, but not $20 better, and the t52 blend is the exact same iirc.
FFPs are a different animal, and I wouldn't pay over $15. Not because theyre not good -they are delicious and i LOVE - them- but because they pop up a number of times a year, and aren't too hard to find. I'd recommend that you get to know your B&M owner. Otherwise givers gain. Help others find rare, limited, or htf stuff and you can build a network of guys who will help you out in return!

PM Responded, I am definitely interested in working something out. Thanks.
Yep. I thought I found a place that had it in stock, but I got a call telling me they've been on order for 3 months and they have no idea when they're getting more in.
