Well there you go - mystery solved.
Link doesn't work on "Oliva Tobacco". In your view, Tobi, who has provenance on 3K? My understanding is tobacco is grown, and cigar is blended and rolled by Oliva?

It could be.. Most catalog companies design catalogs months in advance and don't always get to the typos right away.
Then again... It might be right.. I can neither confirm nor deny at this point.

aw crap...they must be working on it....
Basically, it's a common misconception - Oliva Tobacco is quite literally a backbone of the cigar industry. Oliva Cigars is just a company.
You're aware of the Oliva Cigar brands.
Oliva Tobacco is used by Altadis, Fuente, Tatuaje, Drew Estate, El Rey De Los Habanos (Pepin), General, Holts, JR, LFD, Rocky Patel, Perdomo and United Tobacco.
That's the difference.

Grown, Yes. Blended and rolled, No.

I will still get some to see which if the lines it most likely represents. Or if it's a stand alone type of blend. Thanks for that info though.

Small LHO I's are just great - I also remember speculation about JJ seconds. As I said, I think LHO came about partially due to overproduction, partially excess tobacco they used for blending/rolling experimentation, and partially marketing/sales opportunity that aped what Famous was doing with the N3K. Again all of my opinion is just that - speculation.
No need. I can get my own cigars.

I have had the OR LHO's since then. They are very good cigars.
