Puff Cigar Discussion Forums

SmokinApe · 10-04-2007, 07:52 PM

I am a bit of a newb in the jungle, it is debatable that this post my not belong here but I wanted to share with the folks who have shared so much with me.

Here and there I have seen little bits of info about a new "overrun" bundle from Holts "Little Havana Overruns."

Here is some of the info:

Little Havana Overruns

Handmade, Long filler

This is an illustrious closeout we procured from the #1 cigar-maker in Miami! These cigars are truly unbelievable smokes for the money! Handmade from 100% Nicaraguan long-fillers, these medium to full-bodied beauts boast oily, buttery-brown Nicaraguan wrappers. Rich, spicy and fantastically flavorful, these gems are without a doubt our finest overruns to date! Country of Origin: USA
Flavor: Medium to Full
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

As it turns out these triple capped gems are Pepin sticks with a very limited supply...

Here is some info from http://www.herfersparadise.net , thanks to the BOTL over there...

 Here the whole story on these after digging further today:

I just got the LHO's (Corona Gordas) today and smoke one OTT and they are quite good with a very nice punch/flavor to the blend (Medium). A cross between the 8*11 Miami, Holts Connoisseurs and the Pepin Freshie that Burny sent me IMO.

These are without a doubt made by Pepin and rolled by the 9 Masters Rollers in Miami (They added 2 more recently and originally had 7). Furthermore, they are a blend/batch that he just rolled in a small quantity at his Miami factory and didn't know what to do with (because of the small quantity) and while Holts was there (they go there monthly), they asked if they could buy the whole one time lot which isn't that many.

I talked with the Manager of Holts and others (all this background was provided by the manager and one of the committee guys) today and they provided me with all this info and said, as I presumed, that Pepin didn't want it known initially because of the price Holts was charging, but with all the confusion he gave them his permission recently to let people know that they are Pepin made in his Miami factory. These were just recently rolled as well. Holts also told me that they have a few other sizes that are not listed on the site because they only have a small number of those boxes including a Toro (6*50) and a Churchill (7*50). However, they are gone now I believe .

I just bought quite a few more bundles of 25 earlier today because they are IMHO very good (your basically getting 4 boxes of a Miami made blend for under $200 which is what many sell for out of that factory per box)! The Corona Gordas are an excellent Cuban style size of that viola and have a good amount of strength, flavor and richness. I can vouch for that size and it probably has the most strength.

This is a one time run/lot that Holts bought and won't be available once they sell out according to Holts (it's not a continuing brand). IMHO, the cigars taste very good like many of his other blends and have a similar profile, but your getting them for 1/3 of the price in general.

They don't have much of a smell/aroma from the wrapper OTT before lit or a lot of oil, but once I took the first puff it was indisputable that Pep. made them which prompted me to investigate fully at that price .

I don't know how the other sizes are, but the CG was good and these may be the steal of the year. So.........that's the skinny boys.

And by the way, that's $1.718 per CG stick for a Pepin long-filler Miami made cigar. Not too shabby!

This was also posted today:

BTW, here's what they had left this morning:

Corona Gorda: 75
Robusto: 49
Corona: 110
Churchill: 2
Torps.: 40
Toros: 0

I just ordered two bundles, get'em while you can!

And perhaps a box of Churchill fumadore's... you cant go wrong

physiognomy · 10-04-2007, 08:36 PM

I can't believe I'm passing on these... Just too many Pepin sticks in my humi that I should be smoking. Will I kick myself latter? Probably!

fyi - Coronas $39.95, Robustos $45.95 & Torp's $48.95 still in stock...

SmokinApe · 10-04-2007, 08:39 PM

I couldn't pass, I have gotten hooked on the 5 Vegas Miami and need a cheaper alternative...

rehbas21 · 10-04-2007, 08:53 PM

I didn't have a cooler 2 months into the CS slope either. Now, 8 months later, I have 2, and may need a 3rd if these types of deals keep coming around.

rehbas21 · 10-04-2007, 09:16 PM

At only two months I currently have around 200 sticks and thats after cleaning out a bit. I need a cooler bad!

SmokinApe · 10-04-2007, 09:23 PM

Walmart has 120qt Igloo for $50...

rehbas21 · 10-04-2007, 09:30 PM

SmokinApe · 10-04-2007, 09:32 PM

While your at it, heartfielt is having a discount this month. Get some beads...

any experience on the Corona? I picked up a box of the Fumador CHurchill, and the little havana throw out Corona's.
KNowing.. i dont know how got the robusto might have been ( and that IS my fav size) and the Torp for a factory throw out, not sure of the quality.. i just hope those damn corona's have a good draw, If they do, hell ill be happy and if they have extra's i shall buy more, just SOOO dissapointed they were out of the Corona GOrda =[ They sound soo tasty haha,, Lucky bastage!!!
