A trip down Memory Lane...
 

Some of us old guys know EXACTLY what this cigar is...

Some of y'all "kids" probably never knew they existed

(okay, the coffin was a prop, NOT for the cigar)

They came in a box just like this...

Well, I never knew. What is it?

(I'm thinking "original production Opus X", but I see the "Nicaragua" seal on the box and I think, "no way".)

Re: A trip down Memory Lane...
 

Nope.

But they did have a hand in why these "disappeared".

Espinosa y Ortega Series X ... liked them back in the day. :)

Re: A trip down Memory Lane...
 

Series X by EO Brands. A damn good cigar and was sued by the gutless Fuente's over the "X" and production had to cease. Just another reason why I am not fond of Fuente.

I still have a few lying around.

Very Nice Tobii!
I had heard of these Series X, and how they were sued, but never have seen one either in RL or on the internet. Thanks for sharing!

Re: A trip down Memory Lane...
 

Interesting to know the history on the Nic 3000s, I've heard good things about them.
