Default A present for me!! Box and a single

I've been dying to try the new Oliva V Maduro because the V is probably my favorite cigar, however trying to get one is proving difficult. There is this B&M by my work called the Tobacco Leaf which I hadn't been in yet so I decided to stop in since a buddy of mine at work suggested I try them since they had the Oliva V's.(real nice selection which I was surprised) The place also sells hookahs and tobacco so it stinks like that stuff but I was seriously impressed by what he had considering what some of the other B&M's around me carry.

They didn't have the V maduro, the guy told me tomorrow (we'll see), and every place I've been looking lately for the V Series is backordered. Not this place, he had quite a few boxes so I decided to treat myself as a special event for the Phillies/Rays World Series. I picked up a box of Series V Figuerado and the owner talked me into getting an Alec Bradley Tempus. Prices were pretty high but for the V it's well worth it.

Let's go Phillies!!




I'm smoking a V right now before the Phils game and loving every minute of it. These sticks are always consistent and full of flavor

Nice haul, man. He hooked me on a Tempus last week. I was thinking of trying to hop over there today to see if they had the V Maduros.

And that place does stink, doesn't it?
