Wouldn't flor de oliva be listed on their website though? Then again Nubs aren't. I am going to contact them and find out.
Brand separation is a huge thing is many industries, not just cigars. See GMC and Chevrolet, Ford and Mercury...


As I recall, a rep once told me that FdO's are actually a specific blend that is simply blended with cheaper tobaccos to make a decent $2-5 stick. Oliva as a company does not sell "seconds" or "leftovers" as an Oliva branded name cigar.
