phobicsquirrel:
This cigar was a limited release in 09

AHEM...'08. If memory serves, and it usually does, they landed on the loading docks in November. I bought up a box quick as could be and then regretted not getting two. Damn good cigar. Looking forward to lighting one up once they hit the one year mark...not looking forward to drooling over the rest of them for another year.

Jozer set me straight, so I stand corrected, 08 is when they landed.... Though I wonder why they are stated as 09 release? Was another batch made in 09? I thought only 1 batch was made.

I wonder why they would say that....maybe because they were released so late in 2008 that they were considered to be released for 2009? Damn cigar makers and their fuzzy math.

only one batch made and all the boxes have 2008 on them. They probably held on to them and aged them 6 months in the box before shipping/releasing them.

I heard that Oliva was going to release some more of these. Not sure if they were rolled in 08 or are new for 09.

Sorry, bro. I think I got those on a ccom daily deal at like $26 for 10. Actually, I think that's today's deal. Either way, I thought the cigar was ok, but too strong for its own good and needs some time to age. I think in a year or two, this will be a much better cigar. I think I sent you two of them for that purpose. I did send you two, didn't I?

phobicsquirrel · October 2009

yup, I'll light it up down the road. I just enjoyed the 08 much more.

Yeah so the 08 was the one I just reviewed and we all had already got. The 09's have just been released recently... All too confusing..

Start cruising your local B&M? I don't know, they're available but I don't know where yet. Maybe only on the local level, hopefully we'll see them on ccom soon.

Great cigar...I have a box of the 08 just waiting to be enjoyed.

Search around, they are landing. Ccom probably will get them in soon, hopefully at a good price.

So maybe I should keep my backordered box of Empire III!!!! IDK why it is taking so long but I was about ready to cancel it and try to get singles of all of them.

phobicsquirrel · November 2009

I dunno, they'll show up. The III's are good. I'm planning on getting boxes of the II, III, and maybe IV...

Nice reviews. Looking forward to trying some of those. Unfortunately, the smoking weather is totally gone around here and I don't have a place to smoke indoors aside from local shops.

Gurkha central for reviews over here. I'm liking this. But you really gotta stop. I don't have any money to spend or any space to store.
