Any interest in a candela sampler

Before WWII and for a time after, most cigars sold were wrapped in green candela tobacco. There's been a recent trend where Candela's are being made available again. The market is limited and so are the places that you can still purchase them.

I don't have a solid plan in mind, but about 15 years ago, I bought a bunch of different brands and vitolas and offered samplers based on cost and shipping. Before I work out specifics, I wanted to see if there's any interest in repeating the experiment. Roughly, it would be approximately 20 cigars, 2 sticks of each. Box price averages about $120-150 for each, so we're looking at about $5 a cigar on average, or $160-170 per sampler, shipping included.

If you are interested, post here on this thread and if we can get 10 participants, I can make it happen. We're not talking alts, although those are available. Fuentes and several other brands you would recognize have candela wrapped offerings.
