El Cobre robusto

Larry,
Do you know if Empire's are the same as those at the big box guys?

Been a few years since I was down there, but the ever generous Dave (he still there?) gave me two El Cobres (torps, I believe.) Those two were markedly different from El Cobre's that I've since received via bombs or from interweb sites. Prettier, stronger, fuller and more flavorful.

I believed, at the time, that Empire and one or two other shops were the only retail sources for these. Just curious if Empire still gets the family (better?) version.
