Nudies/Desnudo Released 

 

• Step 1: Don't panic. There are sufficient to last us a few weeks. 
• Step 2: Watch the video 
• Step 3: Understand that Shipping Will not occur until after the 15th of January
• Step 4: Orders will be processed manually from the 4th of January

    *Note:  "If you have a $25 credit from the FOH International Blind Tasting you can use ONE   CREDIT  for orders OVER $400.                   You will need to advise Diana ([email protected]) by email that you would like to use ONE CREDIT. Failure to notify her at  the time of placing the order will mean that the credit will not be applied and cannot be applied at a later date. Again the credit can only be used  for orders over $400 and will be applied manually by Diana at the time of CC processing. You need  to send her an email to confirm before the 3rd of January. Work with us folks. This project is a collaboration and hence the use of credits is tricky. I will provide other opportunities to use remaining credits in the first week we are back with 2424 (5th). 

  *Note:  All orders over $400 USD  will receive a coupon on the 15th of January for a Free Nudies T Shirt (See below). There is a                choice  of two styles. Those using a Blind Tasting credit will need to spend $425.  T shirts are available for purchase for                        $35 USD + P&H. 

 

• Step 5: All orders are placed via the shopping cart. No orders are to be emailed to Diana. 
• Step 6: Go watch the vid and place your order.

        Tasting Notes?

         I can't tell you how proud of these we are 

 

 

 

        

N1  Lancero Colorado Maduro

We loved the 2019 N1 Lancero. Hell, the world loved the 2019 N1 Lancero. What we wanted to do in 2021 is introduce just a touch of sweetness to the blend and that was achieved by a few tweaks including the introduction of a quality colorado maduro wrapper.

We nailed it. What we have produced in my opinion is one of the best Lancero’s in the world today.  

Sweet barnyard aroma at cold. Perfect daw. Smooth as silk with a cocoa and shortbread biscuit profile. There is not a hint of a pepper edge. If you love Montecristo Especiales or Trinidad Fundadores you will love these.

 

N1 Lancero Colorado Rosado

The 2019 N1 Lancero was one fine cigar but we have taken it to a whole new level.  The upgrade in the  2021 wrapper combined with a slight blend tinker has seen a beautiful cream and toasted almond profile come into play. It reminds us so much of the discontinued H. Upmann Lonsdale but with a perfect draw.

Again, smooth as silk with no edges or bite. The 2021 N1 lancero is a serious upgrade on what was a very good cigar. We are proud as punch!

 

N1 Ebony and Ivory.

The best of both worlds!  30 cigar pack comprising : 15 N1 Lancero Colorado Maduro and 15 N1 Lancero Colorado Rosado

There is a little saving in there for the “Ebony and Ivory” package  as we can pass on the shipping saving.

Both cigars have forced their way into my regular rotation. Both cigars share the same unmistakeable DNA but finish differently on the palate.  I am reaching more for the colorado maduro right now as they are brilliant  but the colorado rosado may ultimately turn out to be the better cigar in six to 12 months. Their won’t be much in it.

Try them both in the Ebony and Ivory pack.

 

N3  Carlota Colorado Maduro

 I smoke these and/or the colorado rosado pretty much  every day. They weigh in at 9 gm which is surprisingly more than a petit corona (8.46 gm). The colorado maduro flavour profile  will remind you of a mix between the Montecristo Number 4 and Rafael Gonzalez Coronas Extra.Construction is immaculate.With the N3 line we wanted to create smooth, tasty and affordable cigars that you would look forward to smoking every day. We nailed it.  

 

N3  Carlota  Colorado Rosado 

I smoke these and/or the colorado maduro pretty much  every day. They weigh in at 9 gm which is surprisingly more than a petit corona (8.46gm). 

We significantly changed the 2021 colorado rosado from the 2019 version.

I love a touch of mongrel but I needed to introduce some creaminess to balance out the cigar. Mission accomplished and the end result is very similar to a H. Upmann petit corona.  You are going to love it and it provides a beautiful flavour contrast to the colorado maduro.

With the N3 line we wanted to create smooth, tasty and affordable cigars that you would look forward to smoking every day. We do!

  

N3 Ebony and Ivory.  

The best of both worlds!  30 cigar pack comprising : 15 N3 Carlota Colorado Maduro and 15 N3 Carlota Colorado Rosado

There is a little saving in there for the “Ebony and Ivory” package  as we can pass on the shipping saving.

Both cigars have forced their way into my regular rotation. Both cigars share the same unmistakable DNA but finish differently on the palate.  

I love the size here. At 9 gm they are a touch larger than a Cuban petit corona  and that is how I use them. They are my go to daily PC type cigar.

Try them both in the Ebony and Ivory Pack.

If the order is over $800 can we use 2 credits? Asking for a friend...

Go for it.

Excited for these!

Although the above inquiry from @Bijan is leaving me with slight FOMO and self doubt.

Excited to try the Colorado Maduro Lanceros!  Feel like I'm in on something spectacular that the rest of the world only wishes they could get their hands on.  Thanks for doing this Pres- just goes to show how this is the greatest Cigar board on the planet.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[Hemclas]

Thanks for the video.  I managed to wait until the last 3 minutes before I placed my order.

Any thoughts on a Miss Nudies calander?

Unfortunately......not considered a DAA

I've gone Wonder & McCartney.   Cant wait to see if the Lanceros have got the same poise/class as the previous release.    Will be interesting to see if that unusual 'buttermint' note was 2019 wrapper specific, or if carries over into these new cigars

look forward to your input Stefan. 

You will find these have a sweeter profile both in the CM and the CR. The CR in the Lancero and the Carlota has that "shortbread/butter" note. More cocoa in the CM. 

The Carlota are maybe 20% fuller in body than the Lancero and that is exactly where I wanted them to be. You want them to be satisfying every bloody time.

CM

I liked the sound of a Monte RGCE cross.  I'm not sure if you've had a Sancho Gran Quixote yet, but they are very much that way, and the result is stunning. 

[B44]

Beyond excited to get my order in!! Looking forward to trying my first nudie

[patrickamory]

Copt. One bundle Lancero Rosado and one bundle Carlota Maduro. Very excited.

Dilemma here.  For those who have tried more than one, what was your preference?  I was planning to try then buy, but the timing won't work.

Mixed pack of CR and CM  will work well for most generally. 

If you love Montecristo/RG/Maduro 1/2/3, Genios, R&J 4, BRC,  then you may prefer CM. 

If you love  Upmann, SLR, QD then you may prefer CR

If you love both then get both or the mixed pack.

Very good video @Elpresidente  I really miss spending time with Hamlet, but happy he is doing well. I do have some of the original Tabaquero boxes, but haven’t considered having one for years. Based on the comments from both of you, I will pull one out soon to revisit. 

[Fuzz]

Will have to get a pack of each.... just to start off.

I have been enjoying the Tabaquero corona and Robusto of late. 5 years has done them wonders.

The corona was ruthlessly strong at release. You have be careful when playing with Nic Ligero.

All part of the learning process. Worth a revisit! They are favour bombs now that the edges have gone

 

[ElPuro]

Been waiting for these. Thanks for all the work involved to make this happen.

[OrangePaw]

Order placed, thanks FOH team. 😍👍🔥

[Edicion]

I'm in as well. Look forward to trying them

Happy Holidays everyone 

[moneyneversleeps]

So same DNA in both the lancero and carlota?  Leaning toward the 50/50 carlota 😀
