Nice score, that awesome sampler looks......awesome!

You might want to grab a draw tool with those Kristoffs, just a heads up.

Which HCs are those? I had one, the habano wrapper (I think), and it was mehhh. Pitched it half way. I might have to try a different one.

Thanks for the tip. I have never had a Kristoff and they were cheap.

They aren't bad just draw for $hit. If you have a draw tool handy you can finish them. I didn't so I chucked mine.

Going to be there over New Years weekend, will be sure to track them down!

I just went by my experience but to this day I've never had such a badly plugged cigar. I've heard others had the same results. I think there was a review ......someone else can look that up.

Guess most of you already saw what I brought back from my trip to Florida

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC08113-1.jpg

today my order from the Oliva Cigar Lounge (shop in The Netherlands) came in:

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/f...n/nov20101.jpg

Dirty Rats and Oliva V Maduro short robusto edicion Europe

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/f...n/nov20102.jpg
http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/f...n/nov20103.jpg
several singles

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/f...n/nov20104.jpg
this is something special. Ilja van Horssen was one of the 3 people that founded the Longfiller Company, which is now the European Oliva distributer and distributer for Drew Estate, Fuente, Ashton, Tatuaje, Don Pepin, Padron, Casa Magna and a few more brands in The Netherlands. Ilja was also the owner of the famous G. de Graaff and Cuesta Rey shops in The Hague. A few years ago he died of cancer at the early age of 36. Since then, his brother Sasja, CEO of The Longfiller Company and also one of the founders, releases 36 boxes of hard to find sigars with a special band for Ilja and the proceeds go to charity. Last sunday he released the Ilja 4, this years release is the Padron 1926 80th anniversary maduro, and due to my surgery I couldn't make the release party. Sasja was kind enough to send me one with my order.

NICE Haul!

2 Quick questions:

1. Do those Dirty Rats have a second band? And if so, what does it say?
2. I have an Opus Ilja Edition I was going to review, is that one of the releases you mentioned (36 boxes) from a year in the past?

Thanks :)

It's a tax band. All cigars sold in The Netherlands have a tax band with the price on it (tobacco is government priced here)

Yes, the Opus A was the first Ilja release ever, I don't know what the 2nd was, the third release was an Oliva V Maduro (which was not available in Europe then) and this year's Ilja is the Padron 80th maduro.

Bill...the RP Vudu label looks just like black duct tape and I gotta agree with you on the 601 labels :td :td Ironically...both marketed by Rocky himself.

Now the sticks...:tu :tu :tu

Bill86 11-30-2010 06:44 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 
No kidding, so it isn't duct tape? Noted. It's such a shame they did that to the 601 labels, I would rip those bands off so fast and set them on fire. The old labels were very good too.

EDIT Mac I would seriously hate to be your mailman, just sayin'.
