Yumm, German soul food!

Right. Suggesting otherwise will get you in an argument in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Anybody seen these around the DC metro area?

I think the smaller size listed is correct. I believe the Jambo Jambo is the toro in this line.

I concur with all the supply/demand comments made above, as well as second the comments on box vs. smaller quantities. Plus, I really feel the economic downturn is a factor. I have been unable to sell anything recently and these are not aged or vintage or whatever. Some people are hurting.

Our priest loves a nice cigar. We've had a men's group who had a couple herfs with him, once in the rectory when it got so smoky we had to open doors and windows. I gave him a sampler pack a few Christmases ago. Sadly, he was reassigned to another parish in June.
