To answer a few questions...
I do not cover western PA. ( I have everything east of Pitt) But hopefully I will get out there on occasion to help out my buddy Sam who also just recently started with Oliva. Sam also covers Ohio and Michigan and if you run into him... tell him you know Dave, demand a free cigar and if you like Whisky, strike up a chat and enjoy. He's as cool as they come.
Sadly, the El Cobre (a personal favorite of mine) isn't one of my products to sell. Oliva does manufacture them, but it is not distributed by them. (not unlike other house brands, or even Fuente making for Ashton, Toraño making for CAO, Oliva making for Padilla) Obviously it's much smaller than an Ashton and such, but it's the same distributor principle. You can't get a VSG from your Fuente rep. BUT...Tanger, I will let you know when I'm coming to Harrisburg and maybe I can smuggle a few sticks along. :wink:
(I currently live in CT, but a move to PA is coming soon)
I think that Saskatchewan, So Cal, Yuma, and Virginia are all great stops for me and I will ask Jose if he's cool with it. :wink: (I'll be in Baltimore this Saturday...thats almost VA)
We (Oliva) have recently moved almost all of the sales force in house now. Look for a few new faces at your shops and at the shows.
I'll continue to post on occasion as my schedule permits, and I'll try not to only comment on Oliva. 8) Even if they are the best cigars in the world, priced for everyone, perfect for any occasion, and cure all the evils of the world.
I don't want to abuse this site by posting my events, so I guess keep an eye out at your local shops for Oliva events. I love events and will be filling my schedule with them very soon. I'd love to run into as many of you as possible.
Administrators, I lurk on many sites and post on very few. I like this site and it's members a lot and do not want to do anything in bad form. Please let me know if I am crossing any lines. I will be on my best behaviour and I promise to give free cigars to any cigar.com forum guys that approach me.
