Is that a different brand, or.....?

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Leaf by Oscar
- Thread starter jkittle99
- Start date
Leaf and Bean, went with a few cigar makers to make cigars for them. I have seen some people post pictures on IG with the band saying "by Esteban".
Here is a link to a review/article on them, http://www.stogiegeeks.com/stogies/2014/1/29/leaf-bean-by-esteban.html. It says these are coming after the Oscar ones.
Maybe I'll ask Jim in a few weeks when I stop by his shop in PGH.

So does that mean they will or will not continue to carry the Leaf by Oscars? Are either of these a limited production? I was under the impression that it wasn't a limited release but a small production run but better safe than sorry.
It sounds like both are pretty good. I have one of each Leaf by Oscar blends but I've been letting them rest before I try...but if they're limited I may buy some before they're gone.

Wish I'd seen this before now.
I ordered a sampler of these recently and I'm looking forward to trying them out.
So just some more information on the Leaf by Esteban cigar. Just the other day on IG leafbeabvegas posted a pic smoking this cigar, later that evening RomaCraft reposted the same pic. I started a conversation with the two profiles, here is what I learned. It was blended and rolled by Esteban who works for the RomaCraft Factory, so essentially they are RomaCraft made. This particular cigar will only be sold in the PGH shop of Leaf n Bean with the proceeds going to support some locals in Nica.
I will be in PGH starting Wednesday, when I can post some pics and prices and if people want I can pick stuff up.
Just an FYI.

I had the Connecticut this past Saturday and I'd say it is my least liked.

The B&M down the block from me (The Twin Shoppe) carries these. A friend of mine had one during the Super Bowl and said it was outstanding.
I've got a birthday next week and I'm hoping I get some time and money to go hit the B&M and enjoy one of these.
Orrrrrrrrrrrrr, use that money to buy one and toss it in my tupperdor for a little age...

Smoked the Leaf Esteban at the exclusive Club Leaf and Bean.
Not a huge fan of the Corojo, Maduro and sumatra are mineMatter of fact I just finished a Corojo. It was an OK cigar, I have yet to try the other blends. I'm hoping they're better.

I pulled the trigger and grabbed one of these in maduro the other day.
As of now it's sitting in my tupperdor, waiting for the right time.
That time just may be tonight, as it's the start to a 4-day weekend!

I'm excited to see what you think of the maduro. I can't wait to get into mine back home.

@dontWIZonme, I just finished smoking the maduro a little bit ago.
I really enjoyed it, and never found it too strong, spicy, or anything similar.
Nice even burn. Smooth, some pepper and nut notes, along with some slight leather taste. At least that is what my amateur palette tasted.
This will be smoked again!

Geez, that thing is oily as hell! I love it! I have to imagine the first 2/3 tasted different from the last 1/3 just based on the difference in the amount of visible oil, I've never seen that before.
