Here’s some news from Drew Estate. Of course, the Papas Fritas are a great little mixed fill cigar, made from the trimmings from the Liga Privadas. They are hard to beat, and not badly priced.
Beginning in August, Drew Estate’s Liga Privada Unico Serie Papas Fritas (115 x 44) cigars will be available in new 25-count boxes, replacing the current 50-count boxes.… Continue reading
More news from General Cigar, or Forged, I can’t keep up with which company has which brands. Either way, Punch was one of the first cigars I bought in quantity, of course it was Punch Rothschilds, probably in maduro. I would probably get five or six for the cost of a single one of these new Aniversarios, but that was 25 years ago. This sounds like a tasty cigar!
Since its humble beginnings in 1840 as a cigar created for export to the United Kingdom, Punch has been a stalwart brand that has weathered many storms and withstood the test of time. It has captured the palates and hearts of generations of cigar enthusiasts, most notably discerning American smokers who continually turn to Punch for its expert craftsmanship, indulgent flavor and confident branding.… Continue reading
It’s another Wednesday where I really haven’t smoked anything new to write about. I smoked some classic cigars over the last few days, a Don CArlos No. 2, a LFD Double Ligero Maduro, and a Joya de Nicaragua Antaño, for instance. So here’s some news from General Cigar. One of my favorite Macanudos was the Vintage 1997, the maduro with the metal band. The metal bands were cool, but impractical. They caused problems in the humidor, and were unwieldy. The cigars were exceptional though. I remember seeing them making the boxes in the Dominican Republic when I visited the factory, and I still have a box on my desk with nick nacks in it.
The world’s first Vintage cigar was created by Macanudo nearly 40 years ago to spotlight an exceptional wrapper developed in part by Mother Nature herself. Today, the Vintage tradition continues with Macanudo Vintage 2010, thanks to ideal climatic conditions, meticulous curing and precise maturation techniques perfected by the artisans of Macanudo.… Continue reading
Last week I was auditing some of my advertising partners (OK, that’s a euphemism, I was shopping…), and I picked up a couple Cain samplers from CigarThief. This happens all the time, I start browsing and see something that I don’t need or have room for and the price is too good to pass up, I’d be nuts not to buy it, so I do. I then have to worry about where to put the stuff later. In this case it was the five cigar sampler of Cain cigars from Oliva. It arrived the next day.… Continue reading
I’ve been testing out some items from CigarMedics, the folks that make the Humidimeter, which is a great device that checks the internal moisture content of your cigars and lets you know that they are ready to smoke.
The genius of this device is that it takes the absolute moisture reading and translates it to a relative humidity number that makes sense to us in relation to the RH of out humidor.… Continue reading
