Wow, nice one Pete! I didn't really know that about tobacco. I know the wine concept very well because I love drinking Sauternes. I was really questioning the method with tobacco though,....so thanks for clarifying that.

LOL...Nice!
Speaking of harvesting, Pete...I'd love to hear your take on JD's method of stalk cutting for his wrapper leaves.
Stalk cutting is the real deal...Broadleaf and Mexican is harvested like this...JD is the real deal and wouldn't sling shit......
Honestly, I think that Andre needs to have a regular production line with some of the same quality that some (and I mean some) of his LE's have.
If not, this whole LE every other week for the sake of simply releasing another LE will get old....Fast.

Well let's face t....Many cigar makers' regular lines don't match up against Tats, but I even hear that Andre is downsizing his core line (??)
I mean, most will agree that his core line is not really stellar...I just fear that not concentrating on the smokes that the average joe smokes day in and day out while spending a lot of energy on costly LE's is not a good business model.

Rip off of La Verite was my first thought when I read throne boy's description as well!
Total production will be much higher, but released in intervals.. I also think that the size is slightly larger than a robusto, but I cannot confirm.

Was originally told 5.5" as well, apparently measuring in Sacramento is a bit difficult sometimes. lol.
Pictures (from Lilo, thanks again Steve!) and other random info, here.

the Cigar "Gangsta" ;0(
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh Chit! Funny Ryan!:grin:
Honestly, everyone rips everyone off, everywhere. The auto industry is no different. The electronics market is no different. Regular lines, LE lines, whatever, just produce good cigars. When it comes down to it, these guys are running businesses, and like every business, they exist to make money, plain and simple.
I don't care about the ripoffs, Well maybe a little. :grin:
I do care about the bullshit lies people tell to sell product.......
i thought all the cigar industry guys got along?
No way. Latest rumors are Pete got in an argument with Don Pepin Garcia and they threw down. DPG whopped Pete's ass.
:rifleaim: <- Pepin Pete -> :ninja:
We should make a cigar related tabloid. Just make up bullshit stories. Haha.
The size is indeed a 5 x 52, right on the money. Box pressed and it's very nice looking. Love the anniversary wrapper.
If anything, you should take the ripoffs as a complement...means you did something right. I can understand why you would get upset, though, since you're passionate about what you do and the industry as a whole. Is it just me, or does it seem like so many things end up being a pissing match? I did this, I have that, look at me! I'm so amazing! Gets old...so why worry about it. Do what you love, forget about the rest.

Wow! Good thread! Bout time it has been said! It is one thing to do something that has been done before. And pretty much everything is cigar industry has been done before. But it is another to do the EXACT same thing as someone else. That is just fd! Just waiting for the viaje monster release called the "Hank"...
