Nude N1 Lancero and N3 Carlota have arrived in Chicago and are available via Up Down Cigar

[5thStarChicago]

The USA bound FoH N1 Lancero and N3 Carlota have (mostly) arrived in Chicago. 

If you're interested, please email me directly to [email protected].  I will initially be selling these by the bundle (25) or by 5 packs and they will be priced the same as on FoH ($169.00/25 or $34.00/5pk for the N3 Carlota, $199.00/25 or $40/5 pk for the N1 Lancero) with a small (actual) shipping charge.  Preferred payment is PayPal F&F, as some locations could be subject to tobacco taxes via credit card (case by case basis).  If you are in Chicago and want to buy in store, you will be subject to IL tobacco tax unless you pre-order / make arrangements with me via email.  

Thank you to Rob, Ben and Hamlet for having myself and Up Down Cigar be a part of this fantastic project.  Even after 19 years in this industry, I am still amazed and humbled by the incredible people that share a passion for cigars and the fantastic relationships that I've been fortunate enough to cultivate, with customers, strangers and colleagues. There's nothing I'd rather be doing.

Cheers,
Phil

that is really kind of you to offer these up at the same cost you paid for it.

I wish someone in Canada had done the same.

Good on you!!!

Got mine in the mail yesterday.  Phil was awesome to work with.  They look great.  Can't wait to try after a bit of a rest!

Thank you for the quick turn around Phil

Just sent an email to Phil.  Thought perhaps I'd missed out on the N1's.  Looking forward to trying some.

Same here. Just sent him an email and appreciate that I am able to get fewer than 25 at a time. 2019 has been tough on the wallet lol ?

Sent you an email. I used to live in Chicago. Shame I’ve since moved. Would have been awesome to stop by in person.

Nudies showed up and are quietly resting. Phil was awesome and very helpful. Thank you for sending these out and helping me pick some other sticks out as well.

[5thStarChicago]

Glad they arrived safe and sound.  Our last allotment has been arriving this week so if you fall in love, I've got more.

Cheers and enjoy the cigars!

Any links to the story behind these? I’m new here - this is the first I’m hearing about these.

In a nutshell:

The Nudies program is a long term venture  of mine that will encompass Cuban and non Cuban cigars and hopefully one day a blend.

The point of the exercise is great cigars that I (and Hammy) enjoy smoking, in vitolas that HSA are walking away from and  in a minimalist packaging style. 

Whether the tobacco comes from vuelta abajo or Peru, at this point it doesn't matter. Don't get hung up about it.  My brief was to play with tobacco to achieve the outcome desired. The outcome is all that is important. 

If you do a search, you should find a few discussions.

Hi Phil!

 

When I go to the UP Down website, I can't find the Nudies. Any info?

I contacted him by email ([email protected]) to set up my order.

Glad I picked up two bundles of these when they were announced. Really wonderful blend. 

[cgarner]

I think the Nudie N1 is a phenomenal cigar.  Like it better than the N2 

[El Presidente]

We will do a final run on these 2019  (held locally) in the next month. 

[Wushy]

Got an order in through Phil to try both the N1 and N3. Really excited to try these.

These aren't on our website as to keep them for in store and FoH brethren.  Hit me up directly at [email protected] or [email protected] or call the store at 312 337-8025.  We're still open and as of today, no plans to shut down. Hours are cut to 10am to 8pm CST Monday through Saturday and 11am to 7pm CST Sundays.  I'll post here if anything changes. 

 

Thanks for the support from Rob and the FoH family.  My priority is the health and well being of my staff and customers.  I'll drain my bank accounts dry before I stop paying my people or lay anyone off.

 

Cheers, all!

I have a very pleasant experience ordering 2 bundles of N3s. I received them very quickly and he was very responsive to email. I would definitely do business with them again.
