@gojira - blind I would defy you identifying them as non cuban

Maybe Al, but since I know that they aren't CC I just can't bring myself to purchase any....

[Vitola]

you don't need a sample then - cool

Nice additions....I was tempted buy these..but didn't have a space when these were available
...sounds good..will look out for your box splits

So where is the wrapper & filler from then?

I'm afraid they are keeping tight-lipped about the exact leaf/blend combination - it is listed as Central American / non Cuban. On reviews, people have sworn blind there has to be cuban leaf in them, but we're assured it is not. I think they went through three iterations of blend the last couple of years. To be honest Simon after you've smoked one you won't give a "rats ass" about the provenance of the blend - both N1 and N3 just taste so damn good in my humble opinion.

Put it this way, I smoked a 2016 Fundi yesterday a couple of hours after smoking an N1. The Fundi was a damn good smoke for sure, but the N1 was just clearly miles better and made the Fundi taste very one dimensional

Probably leaf grown from Cuban seed

This is how it should be! So long as the price is right and the cigar and quality is good.

It?s the N1 that?s still available - don?t think you can go wrong with either

I?ll put something up on box splits in the next week or so if anyone is interested

Without wishing to be cynical, blend discretion prevents any form of price comparison or copying etc.

I do rate our friends down under but some of their pricing is getting greedy lately. Thats said, i have no doubt these are likely to be exciting and worthwhile sticks. From the central american sticks i’ve sampled, the quality has been superb, and the blends tasty.

Al just answered this better than I could.

Final 2019 purchase, although these were ordered months ago to be fair - still making the 2019 cut.....
Courtesy of friends down under "Nudies' N1 and N3 - I'm looking forward to trying these, as have read the story about their creation, they were blended for flavour profile akin to the now discontinued Partagas Serie du Connoisseur in mind - specifically the SdC No1 and No3. Having tried my first SdC No1 from my SS stash last week, which was god damn excellent by the way - these have much to look up to. I might even try one of each ROTT before the 90 days resting is up

Very nice! Hopefully this means mine are on the way.

You won?t be disappointed Alex - cracking smokes - love to hear your thoughts when your smoke one

I’ll have to wait a few months at least before I come out of smoking hibernation, I’m hoping they’re still good then and don’t go into a sick phase. The reviews I’ve seen so far are incredibly positive.

[Vitola]

Think it?s recommended to let them rest for 90 days but I just had to try one of each - they tasted gorgeous - I?d be surprised if they will have a sick period as I think the blend is already aged
