Yes, to both. Alden DC received and shipped both, Whiskey LWB and Cigar captoes boots yesterday.

I'm also waiting for Ravello captoes boots.

edit: it just hit me..Kathy might of put Cigar instead of Ravello in the email since I'm on both orders!.

The Cigar Cap Toe arrived??!!!

Can I be a cool kid too?

All I need is a cigar boot then I'm done. Ironically, my first pair of Alden boots were the cigar wingtip in Plaza from LS and I sold them due to fit issues

lovely...really great shade on those

Its most likely the Ravello. I've had misinformation in emails before. For instance, she said there was no movement on the Ravello med cap toe, when I asked if the Ravello cap toe boot was purchased in my size. From Kathy, "I know you asked about the cigar LWB as well,but I found out when I called the factory that all my cigar orders have been held up because no leather available." After I asked if the order was started or they had an estimated resupply. "No leather, so nothing started."

Just spoke to Kathy. False alarm, she shipped Ravello CT and not Cigar (email misinformation).

Anyone still doing cigar NST boots? I've seen old runs but not anything recently.

No, leather soul had the last run around 2012.
I NEED A PAIR.

Fantastic boots, great color.
Too bad you couldn't make the cigar plaza boots work. I've had a couple of near misses that still haunt me.

Alden dc store, ask for Kathy.

Leffot unlined Natty CXL chukka on flex soles?

That's a tough one. They can both be worn in the same exact manner so it really comes down to personal preference. I'm not a chukka guy, so I say LWB. A chukka guy may disagree, haha.

What else is in your collection? That sometimes helps...
