Friday I posted the press release from Black Label Trading Company about the exclusive cigar that they were doing for Fox Cigars in Arizona. What should appear at my door on Saturday but a surprise box from Fox with a bundle of these cigars! I’ll be honest, I was planning to order some from them as soon as they became available anyway!

News: La Gloria Cubana Presents Criollo de Oro
Some Saturday morning news from La Gloria Cubana for you here. I’m curious about this one, as a long time LGC fan, but not so much a fan of Criollo. It’ll be interesting to me to see what the hybrid between the Criollo and Pelo de Oro is like. I think I’ve been to the farm in Mao that they mention below, and I’ve seen Pelo de Oro in fields in Nicaragua, so I feel somewhat of a connection to this so I definitely want to try it. Read on:
La Gloria Cubana presents “Criollo de Oro,” a new, limited edition collection named after the hybrid varietal developed by crossing two Cuban seed tobaccos: the versatile Criollo ’98 with the rare Cuban seed Pelo de Oro.… Continue reading

CAO Flathead V21 Carb and Some Other Cigars
I received samples of the newest offering in the CAO Flathead line, the V21 Carb 6″ x 60, several weeks ago, and was anxious to try them out. Too anxious, it seems, because they needed some rest. I struggled with the first two, they just didn’t perform well, and I certainly didn’t want to rush to judgement. These aren’t cheap dates! The Carb has a $14 MSRP, similar to the V19, it’s predecessor. The V21 has a San Andrés wrapper over a Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican Ligero fillers.… Continue reading
