New product announcement... The Oliva Connecticut!

[BengalMan]

In the near future Oliva will be launching a Connecticut cigar for all you mild smokers out there. Time and time again at events our reps are asked, "what does Oliva have that's MILD", well soon we will have just that. Gilbert worked for quite some time perfecting the Connecticut blend and I must say, they are tasty. I'm not a mild cigar smoker for the most part, but I really enjoyed this particular smoke. In my opinion it is more flavorful than most other mild cigars out there, while still maintaining the mild, creamy taste that mild cigar smokers are looking for.

As soon as I can get my hands on them and they are ready for release I will be sure to hit some Gorillas with a couple.

Happy smoking!

ohhh... i am slowly weaning (is that right? as in babies wean off the bottle?) from mild and mild to medium bodied smokes to more medium to full bodied smokes. I now LOVE medium to full bodied but every once and a while will light up a mild smoke just for the creamy and low key part (mostly for lunches and mornings and such) i can't wait to get my hands on a couple of these!

If you can get your hands on some before the B&M's around here would you be willing to sell some to me? :tu or maybe a trade?

I see your in Ann Arbor, once I get my shipment of them, I'll be sure to PM and see if we can't get together up in your neck of the woods and smoke a couple. Keep in mind though, I don't have an exact time frame on when they'll be available, but as soon as something is concrete, I will be sure to let everyone here at CS know.

[shilala]

Sounds cool. I'll look forward to trying them.
I can't imagine anything milder than a G, but maybe they mean milder different?
Like with no smoke? ;)

[pistolero]

Sounds good to me. Mild and tasty is good.:ss

Awesome i can't wait!

[CaddoMoney]

Awesome! Thanks for the announcement, I can't wait until these show up in my neck of the woods. Unfortunately the local B&Ms don't carry Oliva products in my area so I have to grab 'em when I'm out of state or online.

Oh, and welcome back! :ss

Caddo,

We actually just hired a rep for AR, if you want, shoot me a PM with your area shops that don't currently carry them and I'll get that list over to him and see if we can't get some Oliva's into your neck of the woods!

[TripleF]

Oh yeah...........now the Oliva line will be even better. I like connecticuts at certain times of the day.

Would love to be one of the first you send your samples out to when they come in!!

Thanks for making great cigars!!

Now that's service - pm sent! :ss

As I understand it, the Connecticut will be a release with no fanfare correct? So as soon as it is available it will be released without pre launch events (like the Serie V had)?

Thanks for all the info.
Oliva has quickly become a regular cigar in my rotation (Especially the V Lancero and G Maduro Belicoso)

BengalMan, I am a fellow Buckeye new to the thread. Pardon me for asking but what do you do? Work for Oliva?

I have been smoking an Oliva brand called Georges Reserve that I get from Famous. I love the the taste and construction.

I make it to Mason and Cincy all the time, do you have a B&M?

[hotreds]

Looks like a potential winner! The box pressed "G" is one of my favs!

I am the Regional Sales Rep for Oliva. I manage Michigan, Indiana and Toledo. I live in Cincinnati.

[Poriggity]

Sounds AWESOME!

[rborrell]

I look forward to it. I just had my first Oliva last week - Serie G Robusto. I loved it. Next time that I cross the border, I will look for more and this new one will be on my list.

[ahc4353]

Looking forward to it! I have been into Olivas lately as they are great smokes!

All the best,
Al

[Razorhog]

Oliva is probably my favorite maker. Looking forward to this! Where can I get a sample?

[garyatmaui]

Cant wait to tryem. BTW, are you going to be in Columbus at Tinderbox on 4/3 for the NUB release?

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make the Columbus Nub event. The only area in Ohio that is my territory is the Toledo/Maumee area. The rest is Andrew Lee's.

[drunkensailor]

any update on the new smokes yet? I've become a big fan of Oliva G's ever since I got a bunch from Shilala. My wife loves mild smokes and I like them in the am with coffee. Can't wait to try them.

[TripleF]

I am a huge fan of Oliva....have been since I first began smoking about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I always wanted an Oliva CT stick and now I am sooooooooooooo excited.

Can not wait to get my Oliva lovin lips on one of these bad boys!! :ss

[AD720]

Cool! Looking forward to this.:tu I Missed this thread the first time around.


EDIT:

WOOT! Double yellow nanners!

[elderboy02]

Is the Oliva Connecituct out yet?

[Pat1075]

Awesome, I love oliva and once in a while I have a real hankering for a connecticut. This should be interesting.

[BengalMan]

Is the Oliva Connecituct out yet?

Not yet, we don't have a solid date as of yet, however 4th qtr is a possibility.

As soon as I get a solid date, you all will be the first to know.:tu

[heavyd]

I'm looking forward to these as well. I bought a box of G Tubos and really like them...Great taste and the construction is superb. My first Oliva and certainly not my last.

[BengalMan]

Looks like this will be Jan.

[tx_tuff]

Damn you are such a tease Ian!!

[elderboy02]

Any new thoughts on when the release will be? Still January?

I can't wait! :mn

[BengalMan]

It's on it's way. I don't like giving a solid date as things always change.
