A present for me!! Box and a single

10-22-2008, 06:27 PM

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

I know you lucky bastiges lol... I am glad I know a few of you wonderful Mass guys... they seem to be falling off the truck up there.

I talked to a few shops in Colorado and they all said we hope to have them by next month. All the while I was thinking by next month they will have come and gone lol...

Nice haul, love the V's and the Tempus is a pretty good smoke also. I just picked up a few more for myself yesterday.

Very nice, I love the V's. I am also still trying to get my hands on the Maduro.

sikk50 · 10-22-2008, 10:52 PM

Scottw · 10-22-2008, 10:55 PM

The V is a great stick, enjoy them

jaymz · 10-23-2008, 12:15 PM

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.

FriskyDingo · 10-23-2008, 12:26 PM

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!!
