Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
They are gorgeous smokes, but I was not a big fan of the taste. Very bland IMHO.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
I gotta agree with Kevin on this one. While they are a gorgeous stick, their taste is WAY TOO mild for me. If you are a fan of the mild, creamy sticks...this one is for you.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
I pick up my box next week. I have bought a box every year since these were first released in 2009. This is one of my "must purchase" sticks each year.

I just don't make the Oliva connection at all. Do you have any info on the origin of these? It could be something Ortega and Espinoza did way back in 2003 or so? Duh, well there ya go. It says right in the lid. It's an Oliva by EO Brands. I have never seen it before. That's odd there's an Oliva I haven't met.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
Looks like that Monte is getting some white mold under the cello. I had some of the Platinum series in tubes and had the same problem but the sticks tasted great after wiping the mold off. The couple I have left are being stored naked and havent had mold on them since.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
Finally found an undercrown while looking for the LP9. The undrcrown was a fantastic smoke. I see a box purchase soon.
http:// I went back to discuss the contract for the new shop with the old guy that hit me up with the bundle of throwouts, this time it was in the evening so I accepted his congac and a smoke invite. This time however he broke out this monte and gave it to me saying it was not his thing but thought that i might enjoy it. So I did. |

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
Went to Hollywood Smoke to pick up some Viajes since they're the only real distributor that I'm willing to drive to; so got some singles to try out before buying boxes

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
Got to sneak to a B&M in San Antonio this past weekend, and snagged a Tatuaje Habana VI, an AB Black Market toro, and a Undercrown bellicoso. Pictures forthcoming.
