My local B&M has this cigar... and I LOVE the VSG... but anyone had the special ESG? It's $23... so I'm not gonna buy it if it's just hype...

    23 at cigar.com? really? i havent looked at that one i guess. they tend to over price them purely to keep them in stock longer. people will still buy them. they are in demand. Ill lok at my B&M because i know they have the VSG. my local B&M is very high end. a bunch of davidoff, ashton, fuente, gurkha and the like. i cant really afford to go there much.

    No, $23 at my B&M... They too have Gurkha, Davidoff, VSG, and I have an order in for Opus X there (Whenever the heck they come in!)

    They have decent prices though for some stuff. I paid $15 for a VSG at a crappy B&M by my house, and this one by my work had the same size for $12... eh, who knows huh?

    agreed. just because you havent had tons of cigars in your life does not mean that you dont know if you like it or not.

    All three very fine selections eweb, looks like you are on a winning streak.. I haven't said it in awhile, try a Bauza by Fuentes. (better with a little age on it, about three months..)

    I keep thinking I'll try a Bauza, kas, but the onliners I frequent don't have them. Guess I'll have to find a local shop that does.

    You're really starting to creep me out, kas. Stop with the mind-reading, already. :) Also, "Via Chicago": great song.

    As far as the ESG, they kept putting back the release date. When they finally came out, there sure wasn't alot of them, from what I remember. If you can find them retail, yes, they are worth it. Capt
