[ciggy]

Never had these but I've heard of them. First time I've seen them actually. Gimick? Anyone ever had these?

Most definitely a marketing gimmick. I haven't had them, but I can't imagine spending $37 for 14 cigars (less than $3/each) with such a clear marketing gimmick would leave me a very happy camper.

Don't get me wrong, there are some cheapo cigars that I really like. I just can't help but feel like these cigars needed this marketing gimmick for them to sell at all.

Maybe I'm just cynical.

Someone posted a thread about these a few months ago, he was asking what they were. I don't remember who it was, but the thread was titled something like "I found some cigars that don't even seem to exist"

 

[Hoshneer]

I am sure they aren't great but damn its cool marketing. Lmao!

Here's the thread: http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php/62185-Found-some-cigars-that-don-t-even-seem-to-EXIST?highlight=exist

I actually want to get these some day, just for the packaging!

 

[CigarGavin]

43 dollars for 14 "mystery" cigars.... might be worth a try; packaging alone is pretty cool.... worst case is you have some beautiful dog rockets

 

[ciggy]

Yea...buy one get one free...WTH you never know. Make a cool gift anyways.

 

[Ecks]

I ordered some for the curiousity factor. May end up doing a review. We'll see.

I've spoken directly to Kurt Kendall (of 7-20-4) about these cigars (which are sold by 7-20-4)

Apparently an individual had decided to make his own cigar line awhile back that was based around the 7 Deadly Sins and mainly my based around the artwork instead of the cigars. The cigars completed production and packaging but never made it to market so they sat in a humidified environment for 16 years (I think that's the number?) and then 7-20-4 snatched them all up and they are now being sold by them. So there are very aged, dedicate cigars, and once they are gone, they're gone.

All 7 of the cigars are exactly same- mild-medium very smooth and creamy.

The art work on the packaging is supposedly the special part since the art was designed specifically for these cigars by a very famous French artist (I think/can't remember the name)

That's all I remember and I spoke to him awhile ago so my memory is a little foggy.

I'll probably get some just for the cool factor.

Erte somethingorother if memory serves.

 

[Treinenwj]

Yes, the artist's name was Erte. However, the images are not designed for the cigars, as he died years before they were made, and created the lithographs years before that.

I have smoked them, not a gimmick just a pretty damn cool collectors item. The cigars are very mild and smooth, basically what you would expect from a 16 year old mild-medium Dominican blend.

Says clearly "Costa Rican Made",tucked away in a cedar lined Connecticut warehouse...........Wonder whose warehouse that was? Cedar lined?
P.T. Barnum was right.............

I made an order. I think one of the packs will make a good gift.

I thought they were Dominican based on smoking them, I didnt even read the advertisement. Either way my comments still stand beyond that.

UPDATE:

Well 1 box is to save just to look at. The other is to smoke. I'll let it rest a bit before I try one.
I opened one of the single boxes (lust). The cigar is in cellophane, it looks slightly tanned. The cigar even feels oily and there is a very fine plume on it. Time will tell. lol I'll post the results when I try one.
