    Oliva Serie V Maduro

    My Oliva rep just confirmed a 15 box shipment headed my way when they are released. He said it smoked VERY full bodied, maybe in the range of the Oliva El Cobre. I'm anxious to see what the price point will be. Ian?? Any ideas on pricing?

    Gispert Ashton Cuesta Rey Helix Leon Jimenes Oliva Gold Ask your local B&M the same question and they should be able to point you in the right direction of sticks THEY stock that meet your criteria. Good Luck and welcome!

    Brick & mortar shop prices - a question

    Excellent post and excellent resource. I wish every member on this forum would read this and we can finally put the "prices are too high at my B&M what am I gonna do..." threads to bed already. Why does a hammer cost $4.00 more at your local mom & pop hardware store than it does at WalMart? If...

    Cubao, You heard it here first!!!1

    I have had 3 or 4 and have enjoyed all of them. No draw problems or harshness at all. The lancero is my fav in this line. I didn't see anyone mentioning the lancero. Try it... it's a great smoke.

    Intrusive B&M Sales Help

    As long as there are ---holes who continue to steal instead of paying like everyone else, you will continue to be closely watched until the shop owner knows your face. Maybe the threat of my Palio on their pinky finger will help reduce the 5 finger discount. If I was real good with Photoshop...

    Perdomo Reserve Cabinet Series DISCONTINUED?

    There will be no changes to the Champagne series. They will continue to be rolled as in the past. Just a slight band change to reflect the 10th Anniversary of the Perdomo Reserve line.

    Nestor Miranda Special

    Not only does he make a great smoke (actually I think they are made in the La Aurora factory by Aurora FOR him), but he is a hell of a nice guy. The lancero is great, and the robusto and toro are also very very good. His son is fighting cancer, so say a prayer for his family, too.

    Pictures of Tat

    Send me the cigars so I can see how they stack up to the photo's. I may or may not send them back. Great shots, BTW, I've been looking at the Rebel for myself and my shop/website as well.

    Cigars bursting?

    Yes... they're too moist. When heat and moisture come together, the result is expansion, and that's why the wrappers burst. Allowing these cigars to sit out for a few hours might help considerably. They probably came that way from the factory (probably not the shipper or B&M's doing), and they...

    Taking Requests

    The three days we were at the show are a blur. It seems to me that Mark said Esencia was ready to ship ASAP, and that a few stores already had them... same with the Flor de Gonzales cigars from Miami. I will have to double check the arrival times and get back to you with confirmation.

    Taking Requests

    Well, guy's, I stopped by and talked to Mark at Palio about the Palio cutters and the Esencia cigar. We will be carrying the Palio and we're also going to bring on the Esencia cigars. You guys were right. Esencia is a great cigar with a great flavor and a great burn. I am glad to be on the...

    Illusione

    We are an authorized Illusione retailer, and I believe all of the other B&M/Online retailers mentioned in this thread are as well. Dion does not have any problem with retailers selling his cigars online. Yes, he is a retailer and he does understand the needs of the retailer. As for cutting...

    Did anyone go to the Vegas Cigar Show?

    I am looking forward to the new Excalibur Legend as well. Nice price point at around 5-7 a stick. Also looking forward to the new Cohiba Dominican Puro and the Macanudo 1968. I have not smoked my samples from the show, but have read nothing but good things about the '68 so far (who'd have...

    Try the MK if you can get 'em. Best smoke in the line IMHO. We have them as well, btw.
