This week 22/9 at Fabrica 5

[El Presidente]

I have most of the team working on building up stocks of MOFOH DESNUDO. To give you an idea, 5000 N9 Lonsdale moved over 3 days so we are constantly working on having a supply buffer in order that no cigar goes out of stock again. Well, that's the theory 🤣

I have my SAS rolling team on the BR Fenomenos. 54 gauge 7 inch and change.  Rich as all buggery. You can see the size of the cigar in her hand.  These will be in 10's and a few 50's for the purists. December Kuwait launch. Don't worry, 54 is as big as I will go. If this cigar wasn't so good, I wouldn't be doing it'

The BR Dalia are all rolled, resting and awaiting packaging. Hopefully next week. 

The shipment of BR 109 10's were frozen last week and are in Miami now undergoing clearance. You will see them likely this weekend. 

 

Hamlet arrives later this week and we will finalise the Robusto blend and get underway a 44 x 5 1/4  blend. Flying pig blend also needs some work.

Always plenty to do!

The team have asked for photos of FOH members enjoying a nudie/desnudo/MOFOH/BR. I said I would forward them end of month from the Daily Smoke Thread or wherever else I can pull them from. 

Apparently they are building a fan picture wall

Best to have an event/meet-up in Vegas - you'd get more of us than you can handle.

Only half joking. 

Cheers!

Every pic should come with an informative breakdown of the smoker:

height

weight

number of marriages

favorite MOFO/Desnudo/BR

They can tack them to a wall like baseball cards and absolutely YES, I'd be honored to throw my sloppy mug up there 😜

Looks great!

Those big ol sticks look so epic and to able to get a can of 50 is so so special!  I’m a Cuban tobacco purist but I’m going to have to dive in. So well planned and executed! Can I purchase now even with the US shipping issues?

The Fenomenos won't be ready for shipping/sale until December. They will ship from the US so no drama

Fenomenos…wow, a cigar that doubles as both smoke and alibi! Definitely going to try these, but need to work some magic to block off a 3 hour window. 

As for the 44x5.25, just throwing this out there since you’re getting started on that blend, if it leans into that umami-sourdough groove like a Party Short in a Coloniales size, I’m afraid I’ll have to start buying by the crate.

Man those Fenomenos look awesome!! and BIGGGG! Awesome job Fab 5 team. 

Question for @El Presidente: I see some work being done on the BR Dalias. Much like the N9 lonsdales, I'm really looking forward to trying it. Early on, what are the two biggest descriptors you'd use for the two? Obviously the size is a little different, but how different are the two blends? Are the dalias going to be in 25,10 and 50s? 

As always, thanks for the updates/photos!

The blend between the BR Dalia and the Nudie Lonsdale share a similar DNA. Dalia comes with a leaf blend tweak and an upgrade in wrapper as expected for a cigar with intentions to play in the premium field.  10's/25's and 50's will be available. 

With the BR 50's, I only intend to do them every 2-3 years in any one line. A little like the release of the SLR Double Coronas.

How often do you fly back and forth?

I try to get there annually. Hamlet is there 10-12 days a month. Daily contact with the team. I do two ZOOM sessions a week with Hamlet, COO Nahun and Factory manager Sergio. Daily contact with Nahun/Hamlet.
