Who knows with the market that pete's and other boutique brands have been pulling. Hell, you see alot of opus sitting on shelves now. You may see alot of the rarer fuente stuff come out again. Who would've thought the opus shark, love affair(story), 858 sun grown would be released in boxes? Why even buy the charity box? Boxes of bbmf next year? lol

This comes from Brooks' site, Smokingstogie.com....


These cigars are made on occasion for Cigar Aficionado owner Marvin Shanken, because of his penchant for Cameroon wrapped cigars. The Añejo Shark was actually made and named because of Marvin Shanken (Cigar Aficionado owner) and Carlito's brother in-law, Wayne Suarez. Carlito named it the "SS Shark" because they both loved this vitola and blend; one "S" stood for Shanken and the other "S" stood for Suarez.

The "No.77" designation comes not from the ring gauge of this cigar, as it does for the other cigars in the Añejo line, but rather from a more amusing reason altogether. Carlito took his kids to Sea World in Orlando, FL, and there noticed that some of the sharks in the tank had two pectoral fins, which looked sort of like two 7's.

Don't worry Danilo they're not all they're cracked up to be, IMHO. I smoked a couple and gifted out the rest I had and I don't think they could get much better. The point is don't drive yourself nuts chasing down this HTF. I would muc rather have a Don Carlos Shark.

Well, we all would :)

Danilo, send me a PM...I have a few of these laying around (have not smoked one for a review yet) and would be happy to do a trade, to make sure you get one :)
