Oliva Connecticut Update - Page 2

I have to agree with Ian on this one... There wasn't anything I would rather have smoked first thing in the morning when we in Miami. It was a great way to start off your day and went well with the Cuban style coffee. And I'm not a mild cigar kind of person either, but it was very enjoyable.

What I liked about it was the creaminess of the wrapper that the Ashton Cabinet guys like (and will like when they try this), but with some flavor being put forth by the Nicaraguan binder and filler. It was just enough to say "hey, you're smoking something here, not just creamy air through a dowel."

Love a mild cigar with flavor. Not many of those out there, so looking forward to this.

You want a preview volunteer?

Hmmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmmm.....can't wait.

Have you tried the 601 Conn? How do you think this would compare. My fav Connie so far :-)

Ian, you go back and tell them that we really want more OSVM!

There will be another release of the V Maduro this year. That's all the information that I have at this time.

As far as the CT goes, I think you will all be pleasantly surprised with just how good it is.

Please keep us posted on the V maddy release. I flat missed the last one.

Bengalman,

keep me posted! I am a huge Oliva fan. My first real cigar was a V Churchill Extra, and my collection has grown to include the MB lines, (still looking for the 03 release, if you have a line on them) O, O maddie, Special S, V (all vitolas) , V Maddie and even Flor de Oliva!
I tried the G at your recommendation, nice stick.

gvarsity · 02-07-2009, 10:43 PM

Very cool. It's interesting to hear about new lines as they develop. I have always been impressed with Oliva cigars.

alley00p · 02-07-2009, 11:05 PM

Thanks for the update, Ian!

I'll be looking forward to seeing these in Michigan soon!

02-08-2009, 07:45 AM

Thanks for the update. I like the "O" and "V" very much and can't wait to try this one.

Jbailey · 02-24-2009, 06:35 PM

elderboy02 · 02-24-2009, 07:25 PM

I can't freaking wait! I want some!

Rabidsquirrel · 02-25-2009, 06:13 PM

Is there an estimated date that they would arrive at B&Ms?

It all depends on when the B&M ordered them.

@neo,

Pick up a few of the Connecticut Reserve instead of the RP next time your in the mood for a mild cigar.

Ian,
From the looks of your picture, you holding an event featuring the new line. Are these readily available across the country or was one store lucky enough to get a quick shipment?
