Before I got into the business of selling cigars, I remember being fascinated with one cigar in particular.

It was green and dark brown and wrapped like a barber poll.

Everything was appealing about this cigar. It was the perfect size, it smelled great and it looked incredible.

"What's this cigar here?" I asked the store owner.

"Ah, that's Alec Bradley's Filthy Hooligan," he responded. "It comes out once a year for St. Patrick's day and its supply is limited, so I'd buy it soon if you're interested."

I love me some Irish novelty items but I decided I'd return to the store nearer to St. Paddy's and buy it then. When I returned a couple weeks later, the Filthy Hooligan was gone.

They only made 2000 boxes of the product last year and I missed out by waiting too long to purchase one.

Why am I sharing this story with you?

Because if you want a Filthy Hooligan ($14.99), come in and get one before they're all gone!!

Our phone has been ringing for the past two weeks with customers asking if they're arrived yet, so there's no telling how long these sticks will be in for.

What I can tell you is that if they're anything like Alex Bradley's Black Market -- of which the Filthy Hooligan is modeled after -- they won't last long. Why? The Black Market is our best-selling cigar outside our house blend.

Alec Bradley's website describes the construction of this stick as so:

"Using the traditional candela wrapper and swirling it around a three nation filler & binder core with a dark Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper, the result is a stunning new taste experience at every level."

Whether you're into holiday gimmicks or just want to try something new, I'd suggest getting your hands on a Filthy Hooligan before they're all gone.

The Filthy Hooligan has a 4.3 rating on Neptune Cigars.
