A few things I found out while there was:

*****cats and Magnum O's are going to be a regular release and are now included in the Fuente catalog. I was told the Double Robustos are going to be regular as well but they are not pictured in the catalog and one would think they would be as they came out before the cats and O's. Also, Opus Sharks are going to be a regular production and we were able to pre-order a box while at the event.

If you ever have the change to go to Holts on walnut street, do so. It is nothing at all like what they sell in the catalog and they always have Opus and hemingway in stock at MSRP...

I also had the private attention of Carlos and Carlito when they were signing all those boxes. Carlito said his hands were shaking....lol. He even invited me to tour the factory and gave me his email addy (not sure how common that is).

Overall a great, once in a lifetime event.....

I'm Speechless....that's why I "quoted" you....Nice Haul!...

Holt's is "da bomb"! in Philly...

I love my wife and two boys!!

The fact that it came from your wife for fathers day makes yours much more precious than mine......Its not about the quantity, but the thought behind it.....

That is an Epic haul Eric!! :-)u I have got to find me ONE of those Opus X Maduros. :-) :-)

Lets get on with the pics...

RARE Unreleased Singles:

overcome by a sick feeling after looking at these

Not really a "show" as such as they went straight into the freezer for their post-travel nap, but my latest order just arrived from Taboo:

Taboo Costa Rica Maduro Toro (5)
Taboo Sumatra Torpedo (2)
Padilla Signature 1932 Torpedo (1)
Casa Magna Belicoso (1)
Tatujae Havana VI Artista (1)
LCD Double Ligero Chisel Maduro (box of 10)

That Sailor Jerry is some good stuff. I am down to only half a bottle and must re=stock as it is Rum and Coke season.

Insane pick ups guys. I think that is the biggest haul of Opus I've ever seen. WOW!!!!

Nice Pickup! how are those Casa royals?

Thanks!

Mr. b sent me one to try, I really enjoyed it! Figured 20 for $65 was totaly worth it!

As a Canuck I cannot say enuff good things about Paul and the guys at Atlantic! Here's my latest haul (although the lighters and Palio are from a previous order a week ago where I also bought a box of EP Carillios (not shown)

I am home recovering from shoulder surgery and bored to Hell so I find myself picking up the phone and calling Paul from Atlantic ever couple weeks. We talk cigars and he suggests new things for me to try. This is the 10th or 11th time I've ordered from them and always the best in product, price and service!

I was hoping to get a lot more Padron Exclusivos but he only had the 4 singles left. I simply said send me a nice mixed bag of tricks but be sure to inlcude a few Alec Bradleys, some Don Pepin Blues and Cigar show sampler Version 1.0

He put together almost 40 of my faves and many I have yet to try.

Image

XIKAR HC SERIES CHURCHILL COLORADO (7x48)
ALEC BRADLEY SCR CHURCHILL (7x48)
ROOM 101 By Camacho 323 TORO (6x50)
QUESADA 35 ANIVERSARIO LTD (6x49)
GRAN HABANO 3 SLS SALOMONES LTD (6.75 X 64)
LA FLOR DOMINICANA LTD HABANO PERFECTO (5.62x54)
PINAR DEL RIO CLASSICO ROBUSTO (5x50)
LA AROMA DE CUBA NEW BLEND ROBUSTO (5x54)
CASA FERNANDEZ ROBUSTO (4.25x52)
CUBAO MADURO ROTHCHILD NO. 4 (4.87x50)

The top-right group of 10 are a sampler from the 2009 IPCPR. It's the 3rd time I've bought this particular ampler from Atlantic... all 10 are great smokes and for a tad over $50 you can't go wrong. (the Gran Habano 3 SLS Salomones alone tastes like a $25 cigar) They ALL rock! They have a second version (they call it version 2.0) that is also excellent (I've ordered it twice)

Lighters are a Montecristo with red Romeo y Julieta design (weighs a ton and has the same feel as an ST Dupont) the La Gloria is a no name but very good quality for the money.

Hate to sound like their poster-boy but this is a great hassle-free source for smokers North of the 49th parallel. Subscribe to their newsletter and get the inside scoop on their new arrivals and killer sales.
