If you’re a devotee of the California-based hamburger chain called “In-N-Out” – and there are millions – you know that you can order some well-known, but off the menu specials such as “Animal Style,” “Protein Style” or even a “Flying Dutchman.” Ordering one of their unique specials shows you’re “in the know.”

C.A.O. is getting the same idea. In addition to their regular line of top-flight cigars like the Gold Series, Italia, Mx2 and so on, there are some special cigars available only if your smokeshop was intrepid enough to order them:

• How about the C.A.O. America “America Humidor”? This is not just a special humidor for the new C.A.O. America series, but also for special, off-the-list America cigars called “Anthem.”

These are 8 1/2-inch by 50-ring giants and they’re packed only with the America humidor. A total of eighteen of these enormous, striped cigars are included with the red, white and blue humidor and only 1,000 were made. They retail for $450.00 each . . . if you can find one!

• The popular C.A.O.”The Sopranos Edition” cigar line deserves a special humidor of its own, too (the consequences of not having one are probably not pleasant).

So, the C.A.O. “The Sopranos Edition” now has a limited-edition set of cigars, offered inside a brilliant, red-lacquered case. The cigars are just unbelievable; according to C.A.O.:

“The inspiration for making a cigar in the shape of a champagne bottle comes from the moments of celebration on ‘The Sopranos.’ In the midst of a chaotic world it is always a good idea to remember the finer things in life, the things we love and for which we fight. The Sopranos know how to celebrate. Likewise, CAO celebrates the completion of the gripping ‘The Sopranos’ series with the same enthusiasm in the creation of the ‘Champagne Bottle’ cigar.

“Another cigar inspired by ‘The Sopranos’ life in the ‘Bat.’ It has been said that in order to effectively communicate, one should speak softly and carry a big stick. We decided to go with a baseball bat. From time to time, things need to be rearranged. ‘The Sopranos’ have shown us how to tidy up nicely.

“There are six seasons of ‘The Sopranos’ with a total of 86 episodes. The ‘#86' cigar has an 96 ring gauge and is a tribute to the last episode of the final season.”

The “C.A.O. The Sopranos Limited Edition” includes five cigars – two bats, two #86 cigars and one Champagne Bottle – in an elegant case with the C.A.O. and “The Sopranos” logos. A total of 2,000 cases were made and we have seen pricing of $100.00 per five-cigar case. If so, it’s a steal . . . but don’t tell Tony!
