Morning, Folks. Great weekend except for a couple sports fiasco's. I've learned to just filter that bs out. Not going to ruin a perfectly fine weekend just cause the team lost... who the fuck am I kidding. It still stings a bit. HAha

I know you were all taking about the CI Legends earlier...  Oliva wasn't previously an offering, was it?  I thought the olive colored band by AJF was their latest one.
I did something I stopped doing years ago... I read the copy.  It is new and I'm intrigued.  Never smoked an MB3 either and I've heard comments from, they suck and aren't worth the price to they are hands down Oliva's best stick.  For a buck each, I'd definitely try them.  But did I mention I wasn't buying anything right now?
Cubanesque?  Goes without saying.
Can someone link me?

But Antnee......

"An insane 69% savings is at hand, scoop up top-notch Oliva handmades for as little as $2.33 apiece. Don’t be left standing in the cold, friend. Give in to the warm embrace of Oliva’s latest and greatest for song."

"...the Master Blends III cigar (MB3) is very limited in quantities and designed to cater the distinguished palate. MB3 is constructed with a luscious sungrown broadleaf wrapper leaf and a Nicaraguan blend of Habano-seed, ligero tobaccos. The result is a beautiful, dark brown cigar that's bursting with complex, balanced flavor that satisfies the palate with a rich, bold, full-bodied finish."

"I guarantee you’ll love it. If not, give us a call, and we’ll make it right. Either way, you’re in a win-win situation to procuring delicious Oliva cigars for a measly sum. "

You may be right....AJF and EPC are the newer ones....this appears to be the first from Oliva....looks a little bit funny with a label different from all the others.

Had a few different beers, some inspired by conversations last week. Left Hand Wake up Dead... the 22oz bomber, not the nitro 4pk version. Which left me wanting the nitro. It was good but a little more bitter than I recall. Also, to keep the theme, Left Hand Octoberfest. Ehh. It was okay. not really my style of Octoberfest. And finally the Sam Adams Octoberfest. Liked these quite a bit. Would definitely buy again.

I'm not a particular fan of Oliva (good smokes, very good construction), just never caught my fancy.  MB3s are the exception to that.  Very flavorful cigar.  They've been discounted a lot lately, get the feeling they are working to close out the line.
I agree about Oliva, seem to be in the minority but my exception is the Melanio, I really like those

I had the Leinies Octoberfest...better than anticipated.

I love the V, like the Meliano #4, and enjoy the MB3 and the O Maduro...the rest are ok.

Four star site access doesn't allow for linking, does it?

I'm not buying either... which is always a challenging statement. I have a short list if a great buy on a certain cigar comes up. Other than that, the enabling will need to be top notch.  ;)

Hey Steve, I also had the Wake Up Dead and thought it was a solid Imperial Stout, nothing crazy about it but I would buy it again. Never had the Nitro, also a good IPA from Long Trail, Limbo IPA
