Title: Nosotros Wanted!
Post by: CigarPlace on 06/11/2014 11:00 AM
Okay, so your friendly Cigar Ninja got a bunch of badass cigars from Jackal that came two by two. This Ninja Jessica is aiming high for her trader badge! Anybody got a 5er or so of Nosotros in smaller than 54 ring lying around, especially the super small Corona - 4  x 46 Corona Larga - 6  x 46???

Wish I had some to hook you up.  I haven't seen these for quite some time. :confused:

Is there a line of Nosotros other than the Illusione version?

I'm sure most people know, but the Nosotros was a joint project between Dion Giolito (Illusione) and Jonathan Drew (Drew Estate). After the first batch was released, Dion terminated the agreement.  I'm not sure why, but Dion tweeted, "I sent all Nosotros cigars back to Drew Estate because they weren't up to my standards. What Drew Estate does with them, I could care less."

At that point, the remaining stock was sold to Outlaw Cigar Co. and was rebranded as "13":

Now here is my confusion - both Outlaw and CI are now selling the "13":

I don't know if they are one in the same, though.

I had heard that Outlaw bought up the remainder originally but the question now is are these really the same cigars or now that CI has them has the brand name been bought and reblended to be close but no...

My concern, exactly.  CI likes to buy brands and reblend....

I only got 1 Corona Larga and 1 Churchill left, but you can have them if you want them. I might have a couple other rare or HTF cigars that you might be interested in if you are interested in a trade.

Yup.  Now that he's posted a picture, I remember those cigars, but not fondly.

Interesting... I missed the Illusione/DE flap.  Thanks for clarifying...

I reviewed the robusto a few years ago and remember liking it.  At that point in time, they just didn't wow me enough to get more. :confused:
