Good to hear its a Connecticut. Now I don't have to run out trying to find them!:D Just not a Connie fan. The only Connecticut smoke that I really enjoy is the Edge Lite but if I happen to see them may pick a couple up just because Oliva is a rock when it comes to quality and great smokes and might as well give a half hearted chance. IMHO their only strike out was the Nub.:D:lv

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

Is there an estimated date that they would arrive at B&Ms?

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

It all depends on when the B&M ordered them. :)

@neo,

Pick up a few of the Connecticut Reserve instead of the RP next time your in the mood for a mild cigar. :)

Ian,
From the looks of your picture, you holding an event featuring the new line. Are these readily available across the country or was one store lucky enough to get a quick shipment?

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

Walt,

They started shipping Wednesday, however my customer had them overnighted for our event on Thursday evening.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

Ian,
How were they received? I would expect them to go over well with the Oliva customer base but was it what the customers were expecting in terms of a mild cigar?

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

Walt,

They were very well received, we moved quite a few singles and boxes. There were a good group of Serie V customers that were enjoying them as well as people that were RP Edge Light and Ashton smokers. One thing that many people commented on is that despite being a mild cigar, the Nicaraguan filler gives it a lot more flavor than a typical mild cigar, while still being classed as a "mild cigar".

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

It's a good smoke and the price is pretty good too. Turned some people onto them that liked the Ashton line classic/cabinet. IMHO they seem to have more flavor then the Ashtons.

I'll be getting some sticks out tomorrow for people to smoke and review.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

PM's have been sent to a few members to do reviews on these. Sticks will go out tomorrow morning.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

MMM mmm those surely look delicious! :ss

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

I have one more set of these that I can send to someone for review. If you've already posted in this thread that your interested, shoot me a PM and I'll get you out one or two of these tomorrow morning. Upon receiving them, all I ask is for you to take pictures and do a review for the folks here at CA.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

Don't be jealous, but I got the first box sold at Thursday's event. They are great for a mild smoke and my wife loved them also. Thanks Ian.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

No problem, I'm glad you and the wife enjoy them. Hell, you got yours before I did! Thanks for coming out, hope to have a smoke with you and your wife again in the future.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

All samples are spoken for and will be going out tomorrow morning!

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

are these going to be sold online in the near future?

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

I can't wait to hit my local B&M to look for these. Why is the name Connecticut Wrapper Reserve if they are regular production? Thanks.

Re: Oliva Connecticut Update
 

emerson cigars has them in stock. they sent out an email today but they only sell by the box.
