Father’s Day Cigar Contest Courtesy of Holt’s Cigar Company

OK, I still haven’t delivered the last contest winnings to Tim, who ended up being local to me. I’m a slug, I need to plan to meet up with him, I might have to put it in the mail to get it to him so he doesn’t think I’m a bad blogger! This week’s contest solves that problem as Holt’s Cigar Company will ship the present to the lucky winner.  For Father’s day, they have been featuring a whole bunch of specials (here), so even if you aren’t the winner, you can be by visiting and picking something nice up for your dad, or for yourself! They have lots of great samplers and gifts for every budget and palate, and I’ve always enjoyed excellent service from them, going back nearly two decades both mail order and in their Philadelphia store.
Holt’s has generously offered their La Aroma/San Cristobal ’92-95′ Rated Assortment. This sampler includes 1 – La Aroma de Cuba Robusto (5.25 X 54), 1 – La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso (5.5 X 54), 1 – La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo (5.5 X 54), 1 – San Cristobal Monumento (7.25 X 49) and 1 – San Cristobal Revelation Legend (6.25 X 52)  I happen to enjoy these lines myself quite a bit, they are made in Esteli, Nicaragua by legendary cigar-maker Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia. What a great assortment!  Thanks to Lexi at Holt’s for providing this wonderful prize!

 

Rules are the same as always, if you’ve won recently, give everyone else a chance, and you must be of legal age to purchase tobacco in your jurisdiction. Leave a comment to enter, one per person, and only comments on this blog post count. I’ll select a winner at random on Sunday, June 19, 2016, which happens to be Father’s Day. The winner will need to send me their information so I can pass it on to the folks at Holt’s.  Good Luck!

 

Until the next time,

  6. Allinton /wattley

    Real good combo of cigars worthy of Fathers day for sure, great put together from Holts.

  7. Dan Colley

    I wish that there was a store of Holt’s caliber that was close to me. Sadly, there is NOTHING closer than a 1.5 hour drive. Anything closer is very weak. The one here in Gainesville is better after their renovations of a year ago, but their selection is sub-par. Don Pepin has that Midas touch, doesn’t he? Nothing he does is bad. These two frontmarks are some of his oldest and best.

    I wish all the dads out there a happy Father’s Day. I’ll be coming home from moving our son to DC where he has a new job. His dream has been to be in that city ever since high svjool. While I’m happy for him, we’ll sure miss him being here with us.

  20. Randall

    There is nothing more relaxing to me than lighting up a cigar on my back deck. It’s historically been just me out there but my son is back from college and has been joining me.
