FOH tasting Panel will now be in place by 15th of December. 

As an aside, FOH will be offering Padron/Oliva and Drew Estate from the middle of this month. 

Oliva Lancero is not available on this side of the planet...

Hmmm … I have not run across an Oliva Lancero in my NC lancero deep dive, but a quick search shows they ARE available. Next on list!!

[oneizzzz]

Love it!  Excited to see what we come up with.  

[shokao]

I've just decided that from now on the only NC that will ever smoke will be Nudies and MOFOHs. 

It's all about turning the key and supporting the project.

[ha_banos]

Oh how the world turns.

[madandana]

This is a lot of fun. I had to break out Websters and look up the qualifications for the tasting team. I have a feeling I’m out but excited to try what you come up with.

[havanaclub]

Omg this is awesome. Can’t believe I missed this thread.
What a great size!!

I would also love to see a tainos/ lonsdale size!

The Oliva Lancero has been available for years and it is great.  I think he means the Oliva Melanio Lancero.  Hopefully we can get it from FOH!

[jakebarnes]

As a side note, gonna get one of those snazzy Hamlet ashtrays

[El Presidente]

We are well advanced on this program. I will announce the initial tasting panel tomorrow.

He said something about personal character, which put me out of the running... 😔

Wise asses need not apply. I'm also out

[El Presidente]

Relax people. 

We will change the judging panel each January. Spread the love. 

[ha_banos]

So basically we all collectively get our own input on blends. Maybe like MJ or KSA etc?

Where else? I ask you.

Now I'm quite a fan of customs. OK Cuban customs till now. Not had huge amounts of them. But have had good experience from the rollers. So .... roll on!

[El Presidente]

Update. 

Under Nudies, We will Roll out the Canonazo Amante VI  in the first quarter 2023.  It will be our Nudie VI. The meaning of Amante is "someone you are having an affair with".  The blend for this cigar is stunning. 

 

The Spada Gorda molds will commence being made on the 15th of January. They will be the first of the MoFOH program.  The blends for our tasting panel feedback are being assesed now and should be finalised by end of the month. That is the plan but the factory is closed until the 15th so we may run a week late. 

The Churchill Cortado will be a third quarter release. Final blend selection is well underway. 

 

I will have a poll for the next range of cigars shortly

Rob, this is so clever and very cool

[HoyoFan]

Rob, curious, are you guys doing a different blend for the Spada Gorda? If so, what are you going after in terms flavor, body, etc?

H. Upmann Super Corona profile is our aim. 

One of my favourite cigars. Flavour profile is achievable with what we have to play with.

I'm really pumped for this!!

[Bartolomeo]

Looking forward to this program, very cool!!!

If you beautiful people can come close to the Mag 46 profile, it's gonna be hard to keep them in stock. I'm gonna convince everyone I know to buy them!
