Title: Nica Rustica Split? (Done)
Post by: nwb on 10/29/2013 08:03 AM
For those that are interested, I just ordered a crate (50) of the Nica Rustica by Drew Estate, and I'm interested in a split.  The price would be $5/cigar ($6.95 MSRP) plus actual shipping costs depending on how many you want.  I'm planning on keeping 10, so 40 are up for grabs.

The first people to post here in the thread with the amount they want get first dibs.  I'm going to limit this to US based Geeks - sorry my Canadian brothers.  With my recent schedule, I just wouldn't have enough time to get to the PO for an international shipment.

That is a shame, I really would love to add these to my collection.

I'm a sucker for Mexican Wrappers, like the sweetness it adds to my sticks


I'd go for 10 but it seems that in "Canadian" that translates to 0  :cry:

Sébastien if you would like in on the split you could have them shipped to me and I could take care of getting them to you brother. Just an idea.

I'll take 10 Nate since they should fit in a small priority box.  Thanks!

Thanks for the offer brother, truly appreciated, but (//../view-profile.asp?action=view&uid=33534) Ntxsage (//../view-profile.asp?action=view&uid=33534)'s idea uses the pass and saves shipping.

Looks like this is done:

Ted x 10
StogieDad x 10
ThinBlueLine x 5
Brlesq x 10
Ntxsage x 5

Thanks for all the interest.  I'll update this thread once the cigars arrive.

Quick update:

Apparently, I wasn't fast enough when ordering, as these are now backordered.  It appears it will be a couple of weeks before the vendor gets a new shipment in.  Needless to say, I don't have a firm ETA.

With that being said, if anyone doesn't feel like waiting, please let me know.
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: StogieDad on 10/29/2013 10:35 AM
I'll hang in there buddy.

hey mojo can i piggy back on your split( shipping to Canada), i would want 10 if this can be worked out for the next split.

Post by: toby2 on 10/29/2013 04:34 PM

looks like mine should arrive Wednesday (http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_6966.gif) (http://www.desismileys.com/)

 

seriously thx for the tip (https://www.cigarhustler.com/preorder-nica-rustica-el-brujito-cigar-box-p-2367.html?zenid=1fcg0agdogddkjioa5hio338j0) back when they came out.
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: StogieDad on 11/04/2013 01:27 PM
Hey Nathan, any updates on these shipping to you?  Just checking in, I am still in on 10.  I got three in this week to try until yours are ready :biggrin:
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: nwb on 11/04/2013 06:12 PM
The email I received stating they were backordered said they will receive their next shipment "in a few weeks".

So, do we want to abandon this split and buy from jdwayne1980?  You can see his details here:

http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=26427.0

Honestly, if the people that agreed to split with me would prefer to go ahead and get them from Jeff, no worries.  I'm game for either.
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: StogieDad on 11/04/2013 06:15 PM
I'm game either way, smoking my first tonight, it is as good as I hoped
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: jdwaynes1980 on 11/04/2013 06:17 PM
Nathan... I'm out of stock already except for 10 that I'm holding in case Smurf wants them.

I sold 200 today, BUT, I have 100 more coming by Friday, and another couple hundred coming within a few weeks.

I don't want to pull from your split, so just letting you know I am currently out of stock.
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: jdwaynes1980 on 11/04/2013 06:18 PM
I just finished smoking my first one about 15 minutes ago. I actually really enjoyed it. I think it will be amazing with some rest. I don't think I've ever smoked a cigar that put off as much smoke while it was just sitting there as this one did. The thing would definitely fill a room at idle, lol.
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: StogieDad on 11/04/2013 06:20 PM
I'm cool waiting a few bud, got 2 more to rest tight now
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: Ted on 11/04/2013 06:45 PM
I could go either way.  I just dropped a little coin on CF's, so I don't mind letting the wallet idle for a bit!! :biggrin:
Title: Re: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: Ntxsage on 11/04/2013 07:10 PM
I'm in no rush...I can wait. I need  to make some room anyway.
Title: RE: Nica Rustica Split?
Post by: Brlesq on 11/05/2013 05:33 AM
I can wait.  I'm sure I can find a cigar somewhere around here (maybe in between a seat cushion or under the dining room hutch) that I can smoke in the meantime.  :biggrin:

Post by: ThinBlueLine on 11/05/2013 06:14 AM
I will wait no worries Nathan

Quick update - I contacted the vendor to get an ETA.  They said a few days until they receive their next shipment.  Hopefully, we'll have these soon.

This particular split is done, but I'd send jdwaynes1980 a PM if you are interested.  He may have access to more than I can get.

Yeah, had I known they would have been backordered, I wouldn't have placed the order.  However, I can be patient (sometimes). :biggrin:
