Famous Smoke Shop 80th Anniversary Cigars

I thought to put this in the Daily Specials, but I don't know that these are "great" deals. But they may be worthwhile just the same.

Cigar Weekly reported on this in our news ticker on July 21, 2020
I got this in this morning's e-mail.

CA Report: The Essential Cigar Advisor Guide to Famous Smoke Shop 80th Anniversary Cigars
Cigar Advisor is Famous Smoke Shop's in-house online magazine. This article was originally written in September of 2019, but updated recently.

Quote:
Famous Smoke Shop got its start on the mean streets of Manhattan in 1939; at the time, it wasn’t much more than a tiny newsstand that sold candy and cigars in a space about the size of your garage. In the 80 years that have followed, Famous has grown to become the country’s largest privately held, American-owned online cigar retailer.

Eighty years in business is a significant milestone, indeed…and to celebrate, Famous has partnered with a number of gifted cigarmakers, both big brands and boutiques, to mark the occasion with a limited edition series of anniversary cigars. The intention was to create exclusive blends that not only delivered on flavor and consistency, but also catered to the diverse palates of their customers. Those cigars became The Famous Smoke Shop 80th Anniversary Collection.

For this Essential Guide, we’re sharing our notes and experiences with the 80th Anniversary cigars from Romeo y Julieta, Aganorsa Leaf, and AJ Fernandez. As of Summer 2020, we’ve added a rare commemorative version of Arturo Fuente’s Don Carlos to the list, which also boasts Famous 80th cigars from Carrillo Cigar Company and Steve Saka’s Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. As always, our reviews are subjective – but our basic impressions should tell you what you can expect from each cigar, and help you decide if it’s going to earn a spot in your humidor.
The reason for the e-mail, partly, was to advertised the Don Carlos 80th Anniversary at $144.99 for 10.



The Romeo y Julieta and A.J. Fernandez offerings are significantly less. For whatever reason I had not read of these earlier in the year.
