    Back to the hunt!!


    Don't worry, I'm sure cnb will trade you a few when his box arrives.

    E-mailed Oliva...got this:
    Hello,

    Thank you for your interest. MB1 is no longer available in stores. We are considering a limited release for the fall. I did hear that cigar.com had a few boxes they had put away and may consider selling. Let me know how it goes. All the best for the New Year.


    Best regards,
    Jose R. Oliva

    Guess I'll give them a shout. I thought it was pretty cool to get a response from Oliva that quickly........now we'll see if it works out.

    Default Holy Crap

    cigar.com does have them......Churchill is the only size available....$349.95 a box ; $20.00 single.........are these prices out of line? I know it is a matter of what it is worth to me to complete the set, too, I just want to get a feel for appreciation.......MSRP for MB3 churchills is $11....so it hasn't quite doubled the price for the current version, and the prices for MB2 at my b/m were very close to the MB3 before discount.

    Man, I had forgotten how hard the "collector" bug can bite. I just managed to put an end to my signed hockey puck collection.....but I completed it.

    That's supply and demand for you. I'm sure they were keeping it out of circulation just to put a hefty premium on it. If no other B&M or online stores have them, and they have referrals from other stores, talk about cornering the market.

    Good luck. Now you've made me want to look for it just to try it LOL!
