Most people probably don’t remember when Mickey Pegg was the VP of sales for CAO cigars before General Cigars acquired the company, but he’s back now with the brand All Saints Cigars. He also lives near me, although we still haven’t met, ,which I’m sure will amuse Kevin at Cigarprop. It’s s bit of a running joke between Kevin and I, because I’ve had had the great fortune to have met so many people in my cigar journey. He thinks I know everyone, but there are plenty of people I don’t know, and many more don’t know me 😁. Anyway, meeting up with Mickey is on my list, we’ve discussed it, between the pandemic and schedules, we haven’t managed to make it work out. I did come across some All Saints Solamente cigars in a recent cigar shop visit and figured I needed to smoke some.
The Solamente is a 5″ x 58 cigar with and Ecuador Habano wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers. I believe that they work with TAVACUSA in Esteli, Rocky Patel’s factory. It’s a very nice looking cigar, and an interesting size. I don’t have a problem with the size, I kind of like it actually. The burn and draw on this cigar were perfect and I’ve had a few disappointing experiences recently, so this was extremely welcome. I’m not one who is a big fan of cedary cigars, but this cigar was cedary really tasty. One would think this cigar was presented in a cedar sleeve, it was so cedary, yet, I really enjoyed the flavor. There was a sweetness that balanced it out, I think, which is what I liked about it. I’m glad I bought two, and I’ll smoke more for sure. I look forward to exploring the San Andrés Mexican Maduro wrapped Dedicación.
That’s all for today, until the next time,
