Oh good, I am nearly out of the OR ELOs and IMO the OR ELOs are better than the original banded versions, or maybe I just like these better fresh. It would be interesting to fire up all 3 (6!) at once to compare.
I had one fresh on my factory trip last month and it was great! I'm smoking an old ELO3 right now and it still packs a punch, but I think I like them better when they are fresh, also.

The tobacco crops in the factory now are the only thing that is different. Same blend and size. And we all know that Pepin and Jaime acquire the best tobacco out there!

I had an "A-HA" moment when i figured out what these were, so had to order a bundle of the ELO3. Never had these or the OR, so we'll see!

For folks that don't get it. These as Dan said are overuns of the original cigar most love. Look closely, and you will get what brand these are. Great prices...from a great retailer.

Trust me - your signature quote had a LOT to do with selling the idea to bring them back! (Yes - you'll get a few extras in your order for that!) :)
I'm honored, Dan. Glad I could help :) I just ordered two bundles of the #3 and one of the #1 ... that's my starter order, lol.

But in all seriousness, the ELO3 is probably my favorite cigar of ALL TIME, perhaps tied with the ELO1, lol. Every time I smoke one I have this moment where I think "Why do I smoke anything else?" The answer, of course, is that I don't have many of them left, lol! No longer ...

now change that sig to "Thank you Pete for giving Dan more ELO3's"

It's not one blend. And the hints are in the above posts.. Look at Nate's signature.. lol
Yep, I'm a happy happy man, :drool::drool::drool:

I had them sent to my parent's address (where we'll be on leave) because I can't wait until I get back to Japan to try them :)
