Oliva O Bold

[groogs]

I just found two boxes of the Ole's at my local shop. I am not sure if they are the cloth band or not, because the boxes are still in celo, and I don't know if the boxes are different for the cloth and paper baded O Bolds. They are asking $109 per pox, do you think that is a good price?

Great find Grant! I think that is a good price, but what do I know. Papajohn would probably know.

If the box is a kind of tiger striped red and black, then I think they are the cloth band. As far as the price goes, just remember they are aged cigar...and a tasty one at that, I would tell you to go for it. I would also try to talk him down a bit, may be offer him $190 for both, who knows maybe he'll bite and you can save a couple of bucks and get a great smoke in the deal.

The boxes are red and black striped. They are already 40% off so I am not sure he will go any lower. If I was sure they were the cloth band I would probably jump one at least one box. I have heard the paper band is the same blend, just the second run, is that correct?

Sounds like these:



They will have a RED cloth band.

The toilet seat box has a BLUE cloth band:



And the price being asked is more than fair.

They are exactly like the top box, I guess I am going to have to head back to the B&M.

Box split??

I'd definitely pick em up groogs, that's a helluva deal on a helluva cigar. When were down in Nicaragua, there's always a handful of reps that head back to the aging room and try and hunt down a bundle or two of these. Good find!

Have you smoked an orange banded O yet? Papajohn loves them. Shilala, not so much. They aren't bad, but blue band O's beat the ever-lovin hell outta the orange band. By light years.
Yeah, that's an excellent price.

I have only had the Blue Band and they were great, I figured if they are not to my liking, I can still pass the good deal onto some brothers that like them.
