Holts Little Havana Overruns

Otto-sear gifted me a fiver of these. I had no idea about them, much less that they were a bundle cigar. All I can say is that I thoroughly enjpyed this cigar well past the band and can't wait to light up another one tomorrow. I love thes kind of discoveries. If I had known it was a bundle cigar I very well might have had preconceived notions, but smoking it blind so to speak let me just smoke it and make an unbiasred assessment. I definitely will be buying some of these. Otto-sear, thx!

Agreed. I like them a lot, and I really like finding a cigar that's such a great bargain.

I thought everybody knew about the LHO.

I am glad you are enjoying them so much. I have a very, very large supply of these due to the generosity of another board member (thanks Ronin). So I thought I would spread them around a little.

What size are they?

I have found that for some reason the CG sizes have been somewhat bland, on both the LHO and the Small Batch LHO's.....

Last ones I got were torps, and they're tasty.

Story is the original batch was a legitimate DPG overrun that sold out in a heartbeat. They've been regular production for a few years now anyway.

These are the corona size. They are quite spicy and flavorful. The ones I received from Ronin are coronas also, and they already developing yellow cello. I can't wait to break into those. The fiver I sent to Gumby was from a recent Holt's purchase.

I've smoked who knows how many bundles of the coronas and not a bad one!
