Prodigy, they have been around since at least the late 90s.

Well I'm young, and have only been buying cigars since 2016 or so. In those few years, I have never seen them come up until the last month or 2. I've never seen them mentioned anywhere else, and any form of Google search comes up empty.

The ladies used to be and may still be a referral only vendor, that does NOT guarantee. Their forte used to be aged/vintage stock, but most of the goodies have been picked clean when they were discovered 6-8 years ago. Their stock now is mostly fresh, and pricing is not all that great because they charge in UK pound (sterling). Their UK RE prices are highly desirable though, and sellout quickly. I think they are a small operation that struggles to keep up, as its only run by 2 ladies who handle the orders and logistics.

I've been looking weekly there for those to no avail. None now either

Had to wake up and respond to one of their emails before 530am central time to even have a chance. I initially missed out on their first batch, they emailed saying more stock came in. I obviously jumped on them.

No, just a monthly date code list.
