    These MB's are fantastic. The RG is a little large on these double robustos but I pulled the trigger too.

    I was hoping they would be the box press. I've had a couple in different vitolas that were awesome. Looking forward to smoking one this weekend.

    This is almost too tempting to pass up. I've never had any Oliva before, but that's a pretty good price.

    They've been out for a while, AFIK. I like them, though the last box of robustos that I am working on had construction issues and lots of tunneling.

    If you ordered them, you're going to find out!

    Well, back in the 2010 premium cigar draft the robusto was pick #6 out of 40 and the torpedo was pick #12. In the 2011 draft, the Churchill was pick #22 out of 60.

    Not that it means anything... just providing a lil tidbit o' info to pad my post count.

    That's great. The MB's I've had were pressed pretty firmly and it made for a really comfortable stick. I don't have any burn or construction issues in my notes either. Looking in my notes I've had the torpedo and robusto....both box pressed. I gave them each 4 Solid stars, which in my terms means just on the verge of 4.5 and a great smoke.

    Pretty solid deal on a pretty solid cigar. In my experience, they weren't anything amazing, but they weren't bad by any means.

    Received my cigars today. Fast shipping, and packaged well. They sent me a catalog too, of course. Man, am I in trouble.
