Nice review. From what I get it’s sounds like it’s not as good up to the 2009 but still good enough to warrent getting some, especially since they are priced a good bit lower.

Chris, Its well worth it. I did like the IE2009 better, but at this price tag value trumps.

Thanks Tadd, that’s my thought exactly. I’m pretty excited on the price point. And thanks!

DJ, I gotta try that. I am a sucker for Saison’s, but good Saison comes few and far between!

Jordan, I thought it was a great cigar, but that was the kicker, the price point. I still have mixed feelings about it, but with the price point on the Short Run vs. Flavor and Quality, I am sure it’s a winner.

Very nice review. I’ve heard mixed things about the Edicion Inaugural (whether or not it stood up to the price tag), but at $6-$9, this stick sounds like it will fit my bill a little better than the EPCEI

Gotta give a shout out for the beer, too: “Le Merle is a spicy little farmhouse ale.”

I like a nice little farm ale put out by Hyland Brewery (or Pioneer, depending): nothing like craft brew!

Wow sounds like a winner. I have yet to buy them but with their price point hopefully dropping, I will definitely give them a second look. Nice stein and spirit!

Thanks for having my back Chuck! 🙂 Also, thanks for confirming my review. I mulled over this one for some time cause there was just so much to it.

Your review is spot on!! I truly did enjoy this stick yesterday.. The initial burst of pepper followed by robust flavors is what I look for in a stick. I’ll certsainly be picking up more when they’re fully released. By the way, plethora is the key word for this stick!

Jared, I knew someone would knock me for using that word. I even giggled slightly when I added it. It’s called the Short Run cause the idea behind them is to kick out one or two small batches, (hence the name Short Run), of unique blends each year.

Michael, did you get your hands on these? I know I saw Walt had fired one up. I’m glad to see the smaller price point on these, and you better believe ill be chasing after that 60 as well.

DJ, agreed. It was a great little stick. I don’t mind the nicotine kick every now and then, but I’d prefer if I didn’t get it.

Dan, light up bro! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Great review. I too got the nice little gift. Think I’ll have to spark one this week.

Sounds like a very nice stick. I cant wait till the 60 ring gauge comes!

I will have to snag a few to try at some point. I really like that it does not have a nic kick!

Good review! Plethora….would you say we have a plethora of pinatas? Why’s it called Short Run?
