New Havana Cigars

DrDubzz · 12-15-2008, 05:02 PM

Has anyone tried their house blend cigars? If so, could you share your impressions of them?

I've been curious about them for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger for one reason or another, but they seemed to be priced decently

anyone?

I have never bought the house cigars but they have fast humidified delivery and I will be back there again.

DrDubzz · 12-15-2008, 05:32 PM

yeah, I've always been VERY pleased with their customer service, I was just curious if their house blends were worth a try

I have never bought their house blends, but another board I am on, the people love them.

shemp · 12-15-2008, 05:48 PM

I bought some fivers of the EL02, EL03, EL04 and EL05 cigars a while back but haven't tried them yet. I got them based on discussions and high praise elsewhere. I'll try one soon.

let me know how the 04 and 05 are when you get around to them

Great customer service.... Never tried the house blend...

BengalMan · 12-15-2008, 10:37 PM

I can vouch for their House EL blend. The new ELO I don't know anything about. The EL however is a fine stick at a great price.

Have smoked both the ELO 4 and 5 - the ELO 5 is a great little stick -much like the Illusione 68 or MK 5 - power and flavor -good construction and burn. Went thru 25 in short order.

The New Havana House Blend EL's are one of my favorite cigars HANDS-DOWN!! Phenomenal through the nose, delicious flavor that leaves the palate fresh, even after the bold taste, great construction, firm ash, straight burn (like a cuban), slightly raised veins on the colorado color wrapper, floral bold dynamic taste...

The ELO's are totally different, and are overruns from one of our favorite cigar makers.

Hudaddy · 07-15-2009, 11:20 PM

I haven't tried the ELs, but as TomHagen says, the ELOs are overruns from a favorite vendor and are very good.

Go for it! The EL's are tremendous. I had a robusto on Monday and a CG today.

I don't have a budget, I think you need $ to have a budget

Do the ELO's come in the sweet cloth bundle?

TomHagen · 07-16-2009, 12:22 AM

I don't even know if the EL's do. I would hope they do as that is very sweet indeed. I have only ordered the sampler pack and all 3 EL's were great, Dan gave me #6 (different blend) which was very good as well.

What's the nic power on the EL's?

BengalMan · 07-16-2009, 08:36 AM

Wow, blast from the past, a 7 month old thread suddenly resurrected. ELO's are a great smoke though.
