I was in my B&M earlier today and did not see any. Matter of fact, they only had a few vitolas of the V period.

This was suggested to me as a birthday smoke for tomorrow in the old forum. I might make a couple stops on the way home to see if I can pick one up :)

Just a little heads up for the internet people, these will start appearing in shops as early as TODAY! If your not on a pre-sale or reserved list, I suggest getting out to your local B&M asap to ensure that you get yours before they're gone.

Thanks for the news. I replied in the thread at CS about these because Oliva V's are my favorite stick and maduro's are increasingly becoming a staple for me as well. My B&M a few weeks ago informed me they were getting Oliva in, so i'm going to stop in tonight after work to see what's up.

I just called one of the local B&M's

"You got Oliva V's in stock?"

"Yep."

"Do you have the new Maduro?"

"Huh?"

"The new Maduro? It's brand new, if you got any it would have been yesterday or today."

"Yeah we have V's?"

"I'm asking about the Maduro, they are new, not just the regular V's."

{PAUSE} "Ummm, yeah we got those."

I don't think I will bother stopping by on my way home.

Nothing yet, and the owner wasn't there to ask if he had ordered them yet.

Oh well, I'll try one soon enough.

Mine, neither. Drove out there, only to find that they haven't even ordered any. Now that they've had a few requests, they say they might order some. f course, it's probably too late for that . . .

The first shipments went out Monday, more Tuesday, more Wednesday. The next shipment will be going out next week.

:tpd: This seems to be the general consensus. One B&M owner spoke to his Oliva rep yesterday and said next week. Another one I stopped at acted as if I was NUTS! Mike at Youngstown in Jeffersonville is not the cigar God of Indiana as he thinks he his. :mad:

Ben my Local B&M is getting in 2 boxes of them, Limit of 2 per costumer. I have my two reserved already he will have them in next week. If you would like I can hook you up with one.

BengalMan

From what I've put together, the east coast are the states that got them this week. Next weeks shipments will be the rest of the US.

i find it strange how it takes longer for FL stores to get shipments than it did for stores in GA. my local didn't get any but i got a box elsewhere. his oliva rep said no one has had any shipped yet. i just laughed. maybe they meant no one in FL has gotten them.

BengalMan

10-17-2008, 10:12 AM

FL's shipment will go out next week.

BengalMan

These likely will not be posted online. Most shops only got a few boxes and I highly doubt they'll put them online. I know a few bigger shops in my territory that have online sites that got more than the standard 2-3 boxes still won't be putting them online.

Some may, but I don't think many will.

BengalMan

why so slow?

As I mentioned earlier, the east coast for the most part got the 1st wave of shipments, the midwest, south, and west coast will be going out starting Monday. How or why this method was picked, I have no idea.

If it was me ..I would light one up well on the way home from the B&M but would probably stick the other one in the humi for while.

Indiana is actually my territory. They were supposed to get them on the 1st shipment, but there was a mixup in the office and I mistakenly got put on the 2nd shipment. :fl

As far as Drew goes, he's said time and time again he's not the most computer savvy individual, and with that said, I highly doubt you'll see him on here anytime soon.

i will probably end up with some singles. i have 3 boxes on the way and the local shop hasn't even gotten theirs in yet. just keep your eyes peeled in the box split area.
