Has there been a date released for a second offering yet?

[Cbkimble]

I got my pair yesterday.

[PrincessTrouble]

My decks made it to Texas the day before yesterday (Saturday). I've been calling it the Viagra deck. The cards are stiff and hard. LOL

Um... if they're still stiff after playing with them for four hours, consult a physician....

I think we can guess what you spend quite some time thinking about...playing cards of course. Lol.

[Justin O.]

Still haven't recieved mine yet =( Once I can get some minor email issues sorted out I will have to go find the traqcking number. I definitely need to experience this stiffness for myself!

...
Cards. I'm talking about the playing cards!!!

[Septimus]

Mine are still stuck in cumstom in taiwan, so i guess that will still take some time..

[Thedissident001]

I have a few extras of the standard Classic decks, if anyone is interested drop me a PM.

[SpecialK]

Got mine. Will open tonight, but they seem thick and packed in that tuck!

[Justin O.]

Finally got my hands on these... My hands are not happy about it.

[ccralleo]

???

???

Don't get me wrong, they are great, but my hands are not strong enough to do much with them, I'm pretty sure I sprained my thumb tryning to pull off a few flourishes... I'm pretty sure these are made out of metal...

[ccralleo]

Ohhhhh got it.

[jerichoholic]

Definitely not made of metal but definitely thick and takes a little bit of work to break them in but I love them.

The Rubusto stock & finish is what was preliminarilly called Damask, and I have a deck of Glassbacks I got from Bill. After a few days of use it breaks in nicely and promises to be the most resilient & long-lasting decks I've ever seen...

[52JokesandCounting]

So are you saying that damask and robusto is the same finish?

I felt that robusto is so much stiffer compared to damask.

I thought it was different too.

[jerichoholic]

So are they going to keep releasing these decks in little spurts or are they going to have an actual release?

[sinjin7]

The finish should have very minimal impact, if any, on how stiff/thick the card is, that is determined by the card stock. The finish is the mixture of surface treatment (linen textured or smooth) and chemicals (plastics and varnish) to affect how the cards glide across each other.

For example, decks made with Aristocrat stock and Bee stock from the USPCC have the same Magic/Air Cushion finish, but the Bee decks will be much stiffer and thicker because of the difference in stock.

I agree but I get the impression that Robusto and Damask has the same stock and finish.

[PrincessTrouble]

It is my understanding that they are different. Robusto was originally known as Iron Stock. Damask is a totally new, soft stock.

[chach]

Got my order in yesterday, regardless if they are the same stock & finish, they are VERY stiff cards, have a nice smooth feel to them and don't have that noxious chemical smell that always remind d me of the dude that got flooded by toxic waste in Robocop.

The back design is very cool, they handle nicely, riffle shuffling produces an authoritative sound and the heavy stock makes them great for card throwing. I need to patch a small slice in my drywall in fact... EPCC has come a long way with their quality IMO, though I do still prefer USPCC.

I bought 2 Ltd edition decks and was shocked to receive double digit serial numbers for both, #'s 58 & 67 / 1000

[Scrambled Decks]

For those that are interested made a couple of review videos about the Robusto Classic and Robusto Classic Reserve. There's a pretty interesting story behind the design of the tuck boxes. You can find the videos at:

These innocent looking poker size cards are made to perfection and will handle like your favorite deck of playing cards all while cleverly concealing a hidden secret, courtesy of Asi Wind, that can give you complete knowledge of every card in the pack.

Only 500 decks of these will be released at this time, but we think the lucky few who make these their regular deck of cards will have one of the best decks of cards and a built in tool for miracles!

Finish:

Damask - Soft stock with a nice deep fabric-like embossing pattern.

Confirmed by CARC's Classic Back Readers page, Robusto and Damask are different finishes. Damask is soft stock with a nice deep fabric-like embossing pattern.

Confirmed by CARC's Classic Back Readers page, Robusto and Damask are different finishes. Damask is soft stock with a nice deep fabric-like embossing pattern.

What's confusing though, is that they keep using "stock" and "finish" interchangeably. Those are two very different things.
