How do you know it is going to be awesome? Do you have some insider knowledge? All I see on their pages is some smoke.

Looks like something new from Sam Leccia. Should be interesting!

Re: Studio Tobac....I'm excited!!!
 
I just saw an interview in the Cigar.com catalog. I believe it's an Oliva project and Sam Leccia is part of the board but it's made up mostly of the Olivas.

A few newsletters ago from Cigar.com they had an interview with Jose Oliva and he was talking about Studio Tobac. It's basically Oliva Cigar's brainstorming group where they come up with their new cigars. The things they were talking about in the works were things like the Cain Lancero, which excites me to no end!

Anyway, they just launched the site and twitter account this week I think, and I'm guessing that it'll mostly just be a newsletter with the newest stuff that Oliva cigars is working on.

thecigarfeed.com had a "breaking news" story today that Sam Leccia is leaving Oliva and the Nub and Cain is staying with Oliva under Studio Tobac. I have no idea how true this is.

I saw that. I wonder what happened?

Woow.

That's really big news.

Interestingly enough nublive.com (the Nub forums) went down a couple weeks ago and word was they were changing web developing teams. I'm not sure if this was related or not, but it sure sounds like it.

Also...I hope the separation was amicable, Oliva is a great company and Sam is a great guy and I'd really hate to hear that one of them acted like d*cks.

With rumors of Sam leaving, and with confirmed truth that Jon Huber of CAO is out, I have to think the two of them will do something together...

That would be cool Matt but I don't know if it would happen. I commented to Jon before how much his tour (swag) and the Nub/Cain tour (swag) looked alike and he didn't care for that at all and made sure I knew his ideals where first. Anyway he didn't sound to happy that I compared them so don't know if they would be working together.

But if they did I'm sure there would be some great events and swag!!

hahahah, I thought I was the only person who thought that.
"Instead of waiting two inches to get to the good part, we are going to CHOP OFF those two inches
and get you to the good part RIGHT AWAY." hahaha, funniest thing I ever heard. Not to denigrate
the Poles or anything, but that sounds like a typical joke on their ethnicity, or a cajun joke.

This is true. I'll wait before I jump to any conclusions, but you make a good point.

neoflex 11-04-2010 02:03 PM
Re: Studio Tobac....I'm excited!!!
 
If this is true I personally hope the Nub would leave with Sam as I think they are the only crappy sticks in the Oliva line. I know a lot of guys like them but I was surprised to see Oliva back such a gimmicky line. They seem to be a love, hate stick. I love the whole Cain line and if they leave with Sam I guess I will have to stock up as the blend will definitely change once you remove the Olivas tobacco. I would be curious to hear if this rumor is true and if so what the reasoning is behind the split. I think Oliva would be a great company to be paired up with but if they couldn't come to terms on things I guess it doesn't matter how great their tobacco is at the end of the day. I guess only time will tell and if there is a split I hope the Cain line stays with Oliva.

Gentleman,

Studio Tobac has been around for a long time. It has consisted of various people that as a collective, have helped create lines outside of the Oliva name. Cain and Nub both fall under this umbrella. ST is now being presented to the public as the entity that it is.

So what comes next out of ST? There will be new lines in 2011, there will be small batch limited editions, there will be a Studio Tobac World Tour that will offer some kick ass giveaways like you've never seen before. Oh yeah, and one lucky winner will get a pretty sweet car. :)

ST will be debuting at the Big Smoke Las Vegas, then at the Big Smoke in NY. In the next few weeks more details will emerge from the Studio's Board of Directors. Keep an eye on the website, because when it goes live, it will explain a lot more.

To the OP, you have every reason to be excited, and plenty more reasons that you don't know about yet. :tu

I love Oliva but I don't think I can take another brand dropping Special/Limited releases regularly. But I guess they have been sitting on the sidelines watching all the Boutiques rake in cash from these limited production runs that I guess they want in. I think my New Years resolution is going to be, "Ignore all the limited Editions.":D

Neo, were definitely not falling into that game. Oliva has the yearly release of the Serie V Maduro. While it is only a once a year thing, we try to make it available to everyone during that shipment.

The upcoming special sizes/blends/cigars that are currently being worked on will be incorporated into the Studio Tobac World Tour in a way that will be released soon. Studio Tobac will be creating plenty of regular production lines, the first of which will launch next year with the tour.

Your not going to be seeing ridiculous LE cigars all the time. Sure we will release some cool small batch stuff on occasion, but it's not going to be the way others in the industry are doing it.

One thing Studio Tobac is doing that we are pretty excited about is we are putting together an advisory board of cigar smokers just like yourself and everyone else on this board. We will be taking their input into consideration on upcoming Studio projects and this board will have the opportunity to test future blends and provide their input on them before they come to market. The Advisory Board is going to give the cigar enthusiast consumer a chance to have their voice heard in the process of creating a cigar. Sometimes these will be small batch, sometimes these will be major full line releases.

Stay tuned, there's a lot to come with ST, all of which is going to be very good for cigar smokers.

Short cao sticks sounds like a good idea, a cao nub is better than a cao 660, which takes longer finish

Oh they've definitely been made. There initial run was only 300 cigars total for members of the Executive Board and a select few at the Vegas and NYC Big Smoke's. We were smoking them all weekend during Big Smoke Las Vegas. Any of you attending the Big Smoke NYC? If so, come see me in the ST booth and I'll take care of ya.

Maybe I'll get a couple out to a lucky CA member to try out....
