Holiday Cigars, do you like waiting all year for them?

It's not that I won't buy any, I just get annoyed with it. One thing that comes to my mind when I hear about "rare," or "limited" cigars is the Montecristo No. 2 Cuban. This was the number three cigar of year in 2007 and I recently heard that they were upping production of these by a decent amount. So somehow that ends up an number three and isn't a "holiday" cigar.

This is pretty much how I feel about it. I don't go out of my way to not buy them, but I also don't got out if my way to buy them anymore either.

In addition the sweetened glue they use on most their stuff is a definite turnoff to me.

All that said, I did buy some this season, but, no I don't wait with baited breath for them.

After having taken apart many cigars, switching wrappers. I will say that with Fuente I have found patched wrappers and the stripped cigar looks like a yard stick compared to others I have taken apart. And I'm not talking every day cigars but cigars like Anejo.
