Default A present for me!! Box and a single

I've been dying to try the new Oliva V Maduro because the V is probably my favorite cigar, however trying to get one is proving difficult. There is this B&M by my work called the Tobacco Leaf which I hadn't been in yet so I decided to stop in since a buddy of mine at work suggested I try them since they had the Oliva V's.(real nice selection which I was surprised) The place also sells hookahs and tobacco so it stinks like that stuff but I was seriously impressed by what he had considering what some of the other B&M's around me carry.

They didn't have the V maduro, the guy told me tomorrow (we'll see), and every place I've been looking lately for the V Series is backordered. Not this place, he had quite a few boxes so I decided to treat myself as a special event for the Phillies/Rays World Series. I picked up a box of Series V Figuerado and the owner talked me into getting an Alec Bradley Tempus. Prices were pretty high but for the V it's well worth it.

Let's go Phillies!!




I'm smoking a V right now before the Phils game and loving every minute of it. These sticks are always consistent and full of flavor

Thanks for the inspiration! Trying to decide what sticks I'm taking up north this weekend, and I'm definitely going to take an Oliva V with me now.

I have two boxes of the V Figurados in my humidor! Great cigar!!
I am also a fan of the Alec Bradley Tempus. I continue to buy singles and may pick up a box for the right price. One of their finest blends to date!
Nice score!!
