The PCA show is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I’ve decided to go after all. I’m actually going as a correspondent for another media site, so I’ll be doing a little double duty. I know I said I wouldn’t go again until media was invited, but I was going to be in town anyway, and couldn’t be there without spending at least a couple days at the show. I’ll only be there for Saturday and Sunday, so I’ll have to plan things carefully. So I figured I better smoke up some of the cigars I still have from the TPE show!… Continue reading

News: Diesel Sunday Gravy Grappa Announced
I’ll admit, I’m behind on sampling the Sunday Gravy series. The first one was pretty good, and I’ve been meaning to revisit it. I don’t think I’ve seen any of the others. I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, so that gets into my head a little, and, subconsciously, I don’t tend to look for them. A sampler would be nice, now that there are five versions!
It’s a widely held belief that Italians wrote the book on eating and drinking. Food, libations and socializing are part of the culture and meals can stretch on for hours. Not for the faint of heart is grappa, an Italian-made digestivo made from the distillate of grape seeds, stalks and stems. The distilled spirit is enjoyed as a palate-cleansing firewater. And when the grappa comes out, things get interesting.… Continue reading
News: Drew Estate Expands Liga Privada 10 Aniversario Connecticut Criollo Distribution
I haven’t had a 10th Anniversary Liga since they came out with them initially, I think they had a 100th Anniversary too, because it was around 2016 when the FDA deeming regs were announced and everyone was releasing everything to get it in market. I can’t really remember what it was like, nor do I have any idea if the cigars now are even the same. Anyway, here’s some news from Drew Estate!
For the first time in its history, Drew Estate’s Liga Privada 10 Aniversario Connecticut Criollo cigar will be regularly available as monthly allocation for qualifying Drew Diplomat Program participants beginning in mid-June.… Continue reading
News: Macanudo Inspirado Jamao Due Next Month
Here’s some news from Macanudo, another Inspirado line extension. I’ve been to General’s farm in Mao, it’s a beautiful place. I’ve never been to Honduras! It sounds like an interesting cigar!
The second limited-edition blend of Macanudo Inspirado will be released in July. Called “Jamao” the new
expression gets its name from a proprietary wrapper grown on a network of fincas in the Northwestern
Dominican Republic.… Continue reading
News: Fratello Announces PCA Exclusive ViceVersa
I’ve smoked this cigar, two of them, actually. I’m not sure why CigarProp isn’t mentioned in this press release, Kevin was instrumental in the development of this project. I know this from talking to both him and Omar. Anyway, it’s an interesting smoke and a unique concept.
Omar de Frias is proud to announce the company’s 9th-anniversary blend, The VICEVERSA. The VICEVERSA will be making its debut as an exclusive to PCA Members.
“This project is easily one of the most challenging projects I have had the pleasure to work on. We blended a cigar and tripled capped both ends. The consumer decides if they want to start their smoking experience Mild and Creamy or Strong and spicy.” Said de Frias.
The VICEVERSA will debut as a 7 x 52 Vitola with an MSRP of 15.00 per cigar. “We limited the production to 2,000 boxes of 12 cigars each due to the complexity and manpower required to accurately blend this cigar”. Said de Frias.
The Fratello Vice Versa is comprised of a Habano Ecuador HVA Wrapper, Indonesian Binder and Pennsylvania, Nicaragua Esteli and Nicaragua Condega filler tobacco manufactured at the La Aurora Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to PCA.
