Famous bundles

Just a FYI, I also talked with Ortega's PR person about the 3K and they were hush hush as well. Although they did leave me more with the impression that it was the same.

I didn't know that about the 7k. I'll have to get some and make some comparisons.

I thought I recall reading that someone had confirmed the LHO's to be from Pepin. At least the OR's they confirmed. I missed the boat on the OR LHO's only because I didn't have the funds at the time. I got some later and they tasted like Don Pepin seconds of the JJ line.

Oliva Cigars

HUGE difference.

It could be.. Most catalog companies design catalogs months in advance and don't always get to the typos right away.

Then again... It might be right.. I can neither confirm nor deny at this point.

aw crap...they must be working on it....

Basically, it's a common misconception - Oliva Tobacco is quite literally a backbone of the cigar industry. Oliva Cigars is just a company.

You're aware of the Oliva Cigar brands.

Oliva Tobacco is used by Altadis, Fuente, Tatuaje, Drew Estate, El Rey De Los Habanos (Pepin), General, Holts, JR, LFD, Rocky Patel, Perdomo and United Tobacco.

That's the difference.

My understanding is tobacco is grown, and cigar is blended and rolled by Oliva?

Grown, Yes. Blended and rolled, No.

Well there you go - mystery solved.



Link doesn't work on "Oliva Tobacco". In your view, Tobi, who has provenance on 3K? My understanding is tobacco is grown, and cigar is blended and rolled by Oliva?

I will still get some to see which if the lines it most likely represents. Or if it's a stand alone type of blend. Thanks for that info though.
