Sweet pickup Ex! :tu

Keith, I haven't even seen many of those Casa Fuentes much less ever tried one; they look tasty! :dr

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Attended the event with the Fuente's at Holts the other day. Went a little overboard picking a few things up....Seriously though, as you can see many I picked up for other brothers who could not attend...

Lets get on with the pics...

This is what they call the "Trump Card". There really is no reason for anyone to post anything on this thread ever again. Mod's, close it up. :D

So true!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

I would agree and I thought my pickup was impressive. :dr:dr:dr

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

It was a beautiful sight....

It was only made possible by helping out some other brothers as there is no way I could have afforded to keep all that....I kept two boxes and the rares....The rest are all packaged up and ready to go to their new homes. But for a moment I was in Opus heaven!!!

A few things I found out while there was:

*****cats and Magnum O's are going to be a regular release and are now included in the Fuente catalog. I was told the Double Robustos are going to be regular as well but they are not pictured in the catalog and one would think they would be as they came out before the cats and O's. Also, Opus Sharks are going to be a regular production and we were able to pre-order a box while at the event.

If you ever have the change to go to Holts on walnut street, do so. It is nothing at all like what they sell in the catalog and they always have Opus and hemingway in stock at MSRP...

I also had the private attention of Carlos and Carlito when they were signing all those boxes. Carlito said his hands were shaking....lol. He even invited me to tour the factory and gave me his email addy (not sure how common that is).

Overall a great, once in a lifetime event.....

Eric, for the rarer stuff you got singles of and such, were they charging casa prices?

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Nope. Example, BBMF was $50.00 each. Box of Casa Fuente CG was like $230 and change...Prices were good compared to Casa

Well I can't compete with that haul but here's my Father's Day present from my wife. A new Xikar punch, some Sailor Jerry's and a box of Reposado 96 Habano's.

Looks like a great father's day gift to me! A gifted smoke tastes better than one you bought yourself in my opinion :tu

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Awesome bro. My goal in cigar life is to one day acquire a box of Opus. You are my hero.
