I did that with a recent purchase from a fellow member. I picked up the Sons of Anarchy Torpedo by Black Crown purely for the fact that I loved the show and having a cigar that had the label on it sounded like a good time to me....even if it just sat in my humidor. Normally if I wanted a cigar associated with the show I'd grab one of the 100000000 Camacho cigars that Clay Marrow (Ron Perlman) was always smoking.

 

Turns out these Cigars from Black Crown actually have a pretty decent rating and are getting great reviews. I guess I lucked out this time! I'll happily smoke at least one of them, and maybe keep the other one around for laughs like I had originally intended too. 

I absolutely love the SOA from Black Crown also. Bought them for the novelty, smoke em' cause they are good.  

I really liked the Viva Republica Jailbreak, cigar within a cigar.

Sopranos by CAO was also excellent.  They reissued it after they lost the license.

i'm waiting for some Bill Clinton cigars to come out. hell if i don't like em i can always use them as catfish bait.     

Have 64 in stock in my coolers 3 different sizes of the Sons of Anarchy and 2 different sizes of the Sons of Anarchy Clubhouse Edition nice cheap smoke. Picked them up on sale on a bid site got a great price on them. Putting them down for a long nap already have them down for over 200 days.

Also have the pepperbox cigar it received mixed reviews but I think their a good smoke. (4 small cigars in a box press).

I'll 2nd the Sopranos CAO. I have got where I keep a couple of them. My local B&M keeps a stock of them and they are fairly reasonable.

I really enjoyed the Man o' War OCC.

They had these ready to be distributed until the FDA stepped in with more damned "health & safety" regulations that was requiring them to put a second band beneath the main band on each cigar.

The band read: "Do not insert past this point."

I didn't care for the Soprano from CAO, but the SOA was a dang fine stick!
